The
Sable Antelope —
Rare
Species, unique to Shimba Hills Reserve
For a contrasting
excursion from the Coast, Shimba Hills National Reserve
is an easy drive and offers beautiful, lush scenery.
It has a unique and botanically rich coastal rainforest.
Two of Kenya's most beautiful orchids can be found
here. Another rare species, unique to the Reserve,
is the Sable Antelope with its handsome near-black
coat. Buffaloes, elephants, giraffes, lions, leopards
and several primates are found here.
The best places to
see wildlife are on the flat grasslands near the spectacular
Sheldrick's Falls and on the Lango Plains near Giriama
Point with a tremendous view over rolling park land
to the escarpment, from where you can look out to
the Indian Ocean. There are number of short walking
trails at Elephant Lookout and Pengo Fill and the
falls. There is one lodge with 31 rooms, one self-help
banda site with eight beds and two camp sites.
