★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 21 reviews · 8 - 10 hours · from $270

Private safari in Shimba Hills plus a hike to Sheldrick Falls, lunch and swimming at Shimba Green Lodge. Wildlife, forest, and cool water.

“We had a wonderful trip to Shimba Hills with John as our guide, it was a truly special experience. Although it rained heavily at times, that actually made the tour even more memorable. The hike to Sheldrick Falls was an absolute highlight despite (or even because of) the rain. Walking through the jungle, surrounded by the sound of rain and nature, was a refreshing and one of a kind experience. Once we reached the waterfall, the view was simply breathtaking. The combination of tropical scenery and cascading water created a magical atmosphere. I’m really glad we went on this trip, it was a genuine nature adventure. I can highly recommend…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 10 reviews · 4 hours · from $41Best value

Guided half-day hike in Nairobi’s Karura Forest with Musa, wildlife spotting, waterfalls and caves, small-group tour for $41.

“Musa is a fantastic young man from Nairobi & passionate about spreading the knowledge & joy. We took this tour & had him to ourselves since it was low season. It only took us 2hs at an average pace but was beautiful scenery, pretty waterfall & caves. Theres a few hilly bits but its suitable for most to be able to do it, you just may take a little longer & Musa was so patient when we were slow or stopping to look at things. I’d highly recommend him”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 9 reviews · 8 hours · from $217

Shimba Hills day trip with a game drive, moderate rainforest hike to Sheldrick Falls, and lunch plus pool time at Shimba Green Lodge.

“Het was een fantastische dag, vol mooie en unieke ervaringen. De taxi-chauffeur kwam ons ophalen, helaas was dit met een gewone 6-persoonsauto, wat de safari moeilijk maakte. Het was niet de ideale auto voor de safari en er waren niet zoveel dieren (enkel antilopen en zebra’s). Daarna volgde de wandeling naar de waterval samen met enkele rangers, deze wandeling was zeer leuk. We bleven 30min bij de waterval om een frisse duik te nemen, het was super leuk! Daarna gingen we door naar de lodges waar we konden genieten van een lunch en het fantastische uitzicht! We konden helaas maar 1uurtjes zwemmen voor we door moesten naar huis, dit mocht…”
