  Sundowner Safari
  Sundowner Safari: This leaves at 5.00 p.m. After a 20-minute drive, often encountering elephant, buffalo, sykes and colobus monkeys en route, you arrive at a clearing in the rain forest. There is also a chance of seeing one of Africa's largest eagles, the Crowned Hawk Eagle, nesting. A campfire is lit and a steward serves drinks from a cool box (guests pre-purchase drinks from the Shimba bar). The view as the sun sets lasts a lifetime.
  
  Sheldrick's Falls Walk:
  This is generally a 2 - 3 hour excursion either morning or afternoon. Guests drive for about 20 minutes through the reserve to the `set-off' point. The 4kms walk takes about an hour and is relatively strenuous on the return leg. The Falls are most attractive, with a shelf allowing walkers to walk right behind them. At the base of the Falls is a small pool perfectly safe for bathing in. On the drive to and from the `set off' point, you are quite likely to encounter elephants or a herd of sable.
  
  Game Drives:
  They are available on a seat-in-car or exclusive basis. Window seats are not guaranteed. Shimba is the only reserve in Kenya where sable antelope can be seen. There are also several herds of elephant, giraffe, buffalo and Warthog. .
  
  Cycad Forest Excursion:
  This is a remarkable forest where prehistoric ferns grow in abundance about 20 kms from Shimba. Here, elephants seek refuge from the sun and the bird life is magnificent.
  
  Marere Dam Bird Walk:
  11kms from Shimba is a flooded river valley, the Marere Dam, an exceptional rewarding walking area. Many of Shimba's 230 species of birds can be seen here as the Dam is home to a host of water birds. This excellent walk, always accompanied by an armed escort can be scheduled before breakfast. This excursion can also be combined with a visit to Cycad Forest.
