To reach Travellers Mwaluganje Elephant Camp, you travel in a custom safari vehicle with a pickup from your beach holiday hotel around the coast of Mombasa (read more on where else to stay around Shimba Hills).  Once in the wilderness of Shimba, the drive serves as only a small sampling of the thrills that await you during your adventurous tour of Mwaluganje Elephant Sanctuary.  Each morning you awaken to a beautiful setting that invites and delights you.  You freshen up before meeting your AfricanMecca guide for a morning game drive through the sanctuary, and optionally to Shimba Hills National Reserve.  You are quite likely to see a number of the trunk fauna that wander through the property, as well as warthogs, zebras, bushbucks, to name a few of the species that you may spot.  Game drives also take you through the dense forests where Sykes’ and Colobus monkeys and other tree dwellers scamper about, and the branches and bushes are filled with an impressive variety of avi-fauna.  As the temperature rises during your outdoor African wildlife trip, your guide takes you back to camp for an adequate breakfast.  Spend the remainder of your morning relaxing on your verandah, under a shady tree with an intriguing book or retire to your tent for a nap.  Lunch is served to fill your belly once again, and you may use the rest of your afternoon to learn about the vital conservation work of the sanctuary.  A late day game drive takes you back out into the bush to view wildlife behavior that is unique to the twilight hours.  Finally, fend off the chill of the nighttime air around the campfire with cocktails while listening to the personal stories of other guests who are enjoying their outback travel in coastal Kenya.  End your day with a simple dinner before retiring to your tent for bedtime.
