It is late March and the first surprise after leaving Diani, with its white sandy beaches and blue warm water on Kenya’s South Coast, was the mist covered peaks of Shimba Hills.
Shimba Hills National Park is famous for being the only home in Kenya for the Sable antelope, which are on the decline with as few as 50 from a high of 300 in the late 1950s. The park also has elephants and other big game and is listed as one of the top 25 biodiversity hotspots in the world for plant life.
