Shimba Hills National Reserve is one of the largest coastal forests in East Africa and a stunning contrast to the traditional Kenyan savannah. Located just 33km south of Mombasa, this lush sanctuary is a mosaic of ancient rainforest, woodland, and rolling grasslands. It is famously the only place in Kenya where you can spot the regal Sable Antelope<\/b>, known for its scimitar-shaped horns and striking black coat.<\/p>\n[\/info_list_son][info_list_son style=\u00a0\u00bbicon\u00a0\u00bb size=\u00a0\u00bb20″ width=\u00a0\u00bb30″ height=\u00a0\u00bb20″ titleclr=\u00a0\u00bb#890000″ icon=\u00a0\u00bbfas fa-route\u00a0\u00bb iconclr=\u00a0\u00bb#890000″ iconbg=\u00a0\u00bb#f8f8f8″ borderclr=\u00a0\u00bb#f8f8f8″ title=\u00a0\u00bbWhat to expect\u00a0\u00bb caption_url=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb]\n

    • \n

      The Mist & Bloom Season<\/strong>:<\/b> Following the rains, the forest is at its most vibrant. The hills are often draped in a mystical morning mist, and the rare orchids and lilies of the park burst into bloom. This is the ultimate season for photographers seeking \u00ab\u00a0moody\u00a0\u00bb forest shots and lush green landscapes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n
