In the Simba Lodge we have luch and that was delicious. When you go there than you have to go for the nature and views. The walking was great a little hard.’ Ruben and Patrick, thanks voor the beautiful day and a fine memorys! Diana

    Shimba Hills is a large nature reserve, especially known for their work to protect sable antilopes. There are also many other animals including elephants, buffaloes and leopards. The area is hilly, we drove around to different points of view. At 10 o'clock those who wanted to visit the waterfall met and were escorted down there by two armed guards - the animals are wild and it is a walk in the wild of over half an hour. Those who wanted could swim by the waterfall, where there were also a couple of frogs and beautiful butterflies. The trip down to the waterfall was down the hill, the trip up was recorded by my phone as going up 40 floors - it did not feel like that, and the guards were nice to take breaks. The trip included lunch (pay drink) at a restaurant with a magical location and wonderful views

    It was a very nice day! The pick-up worked on time and the guide went to great lengths to see as many animals as possible. Thank you so much! The rangers from the Shimba Hills also did a great job. The view and waterfall were very nice.
