1 Day: Diani/Mombasa – Shimba Hills National Reserve – Return

Continue with a guided walk to the beautiful Sheldrick Falls, where you can swim in the natural plunge pool or stand under the refreshing waterfall.
After the walk, proceed to Shimba Hills Lodge, an award-winning tree lodge set within the rainforest, offering spectacular views over a waterhole frequently visited by wildlife. Enjoy a relaxing lunch in this unique setting.
