The rolling meadows and
forests of giant primeval trees house a wide variety of
wildlife, including elephant that favour the refreshing fruit of
the borassus palm. There are leopard but these are very
difficult to spot. The rare and impressive Sable antelope can be
found here at Shimba Hills. It can be found in the same
neighbourhood as large herds of buffalo. The Sable antelope can
be found elsewhere in Kenya but not in such large quantities as
found at Shimba. It is closely related to the Roan antelope,
which it resembles, though smaller in stature. Both sexes carry
the large 100-160 cm horns, which rise vertically before curving
backward in a pronounced arc.
There are picnic sites on
either side of the escarpment which provide entrancing views: to
the east overlooking the distant turquoise of the Indian Ocean
and to the west, on the right day when it has exceptional
clarity Mt Kilimanjaro can be seen. Also the Taita Hills can be
viewed from this point on a clear day. Shimba Hills National
Reserve also has a large number of insects that create all sorts
of unique sounds once the sun goes down.
Unspoiled and one of the
least exploited of all Kenya’s game reserves, the combination of
rolling grasslands and forest, of hill and valley and the
shadowy animals and superb insect habitat make the Shimba Hills
a delight for all nature lovers. Escorted walks through a true
fairyland are also available on request.
