the Likoni Channel by ferry to get to the mainland,

people. We commence our game spotting as we enter
the Shimba Hills National reserve. Lunch at the

Shimba Hills Tree Lodge.
Shimba Hills national reserve is a coastal
tropical rainforest enclave enjoying cooler weather
and hosting elephants, buffalos, giraffes, a variety
of monkeys, hundreds of species of birds together
with the rare sable antelope. This area is renowned
for its spectacular views of landscapes. At 1500m of
altitude, you arrive at Shimba Rain Forest lodge,
built on a tree.
This is where the sable antelope is preserved from
extinction. A water hole attracts game from the
reserve.
