Restful jungle greens after the glare of sand and sea. ou arrive in time for tea and an afternoon game drive. The 192 square kilometer Game Reserve is the last remaining habitat of the sable antelope in East Africa   These rare animals are well worth seeing, as are the elephants, colobus, monkeys, giraffe, buffalo and leopard if you're lucky. Shimba can accommodate 65 people. All rooms have balcony vantage points overlooking the waterhole. The rooms are small but well designed and cheerful with big windows, twin beds and a ceiling fan.
