What to expect

Begin with a short game drive upon arrival, then embark on a hike to Sheldrick Falls, a breathtaking 25-meter waterfall with a natural plunge pool, perfect for a refreshing shower. Afterward, enjoy a scenic drive through the park before heading to the lodge for a late lunch.

In the afternoon, relax at the lodge with views of the Mwaluganje Sanctuary and distant elephants. On clear days, you can see the Usambara Mountains in Tanzania. Conclude the day with a drive back to your beach hotel.

    Het is een geweldig mooi park, maar in jullie beschrijving staat dat er diverse kan vinden. Dus niet een paar antilopes en bavianen. De lunch was heerlijk. Maar voor het betaalde geld had ik toch wel meer verwacht.

    Shimba Hills ist eine Art Regenwald, Tiere sind hier zwischen den Bäumen/Pflanzen also nur schwer zu sehen, bis auf viele Baboons (Affen). Die Gegend ist aber trotzdem schön. Der Weg zum Wasserfall und zurück war selbst für uns (durchschnittliche Sportlichkeit) bei 35Grad extrem anstrengend. Baden unter dem Wasserfall war da eine willkommene Abkühlung. Highlight war am Ende noch die "Green Lodge". Sehr gutes Essen, sehr nette Menschen und beim Essen ein Ausblick von der Terasse über halb Kenia

    Mooie safari door shimba hills, groen, afwisselend, hike naar falls is mooi, maar ook pittig in de hitte, rond 400 treden naar beneden en in totaal 2,5 km afdalen en na bezoek weer naar boven, falls is mooie en koele verademing, niet om te zwemmen, wel ppotje boden of eronder staan, omkleden kan bij de watervallen goed, Lodge was super, heerlijk eten en fabuleus uitzicht, ik ben na de lunch daar gebleven en even heerlijk gezwommen, met banuit zwembad prachtig uitzicht over t dal

    Der Guide bei der Pirschfahrt war absolut uninformiert und desinteressiert- schade um die Zeit und das Geld. Schön war die Wanderung zu den Sheldrick Falls, hier war der Ranger, der uns begleitet hat, auch sehr engagiert.

    Der Ausflug/Tour in die Natur von Kenia war interessant und sehenswert. Dennoch muss man bemerken, dass man von den Big5, die man vielleicht erwartet, nicht alle sehen wird, da es keine Elefanten und auf 200 km² nur 2 Giraffen im Shimba Hills gibt. Den Weg zu den Sheldrick Falls würde ich nur körperlich fitten Besuchern*inne empfehlen, da der vermeintliche 2,5 km Spaziergang schon ein wenig länger ist und die Steigungen und Neigungen sowie der Weg an sich schon seine Herausforderungen birgt.
