Within Kenya’s coastal rain forest, The Shimba Hills Lodge is the only “tree lodge.” It was commissioned as a coastal substitute for the renowned Tree Tops and was an award-winning design when it was erected in 1986. The use of natural materials, primarily cedar wood, was emphasized throughout construction, creating a cozy and peaceful ambience.
From the lodge, a wooden treetop path enters the forest. You might wish to take a seat on the platform towards the end, enjoy a beverage, and take in the scenery away from any potential disturbances. The Shimba Hills Lodge provides you with the ideal setting to find tranquility and experience the “Breath of Life,” especially around twilight when the rainforest’s nocturnal chorus of voices begins. It is the perfect place to mix beach and jungle vacations because it is only a 45-minute drive from Mombasa or Diani Beach.
You may comfortably see wildlife such as the white-headed fish eagle, monitor lizards, monkeys, antelopes, hornbills, turtles, and other animals in their natural habitat from the large veranda that directly overlooks the little lake.
