Then sway with your sweetheart to the rhythms of African music as the sun sets over the savannah.n the morning get up early to join your expert guide who will take you on Safari to see some of the most amazing animals that roam our earth. The reticulated giraffe is the tallest of all living animals, growing to a daunting 19 feet tall. When he stands between you and the snow-capped peak of Mt. Kenya that graces the horizon, he looks as tall as the mountain itself. Shaba’s plentiful acacia trees and other plants and vegetation support his requirement for 75 pounds of food a day. Another high reaching animal is the gerenuk. This special antelope has an unusually long neck and a small head, which in the male is topped with long, spindly antlers. The gerenuk roam Shaba in small groups and stand erect on their hind legs to feed on the tasty leaves of tall trees and bushes. Shaba is one of the Game Reserves in Kenya that is home to several animal species that are not so easy to find in other parts of Africa. The giraffe loves the tall acacia trees that grow in the savannah. Grevy’s zebra is also in Shaba, along with Grants gazelles, elephants, lions and an amazing variety of bird and duck species. If you come in August or September you may be lucky enough to see baby zebras, who can run short distances just one hour after birth. Grevy’s is the largest of the zebra species, and he loves it here at Shaba because his stripes cleverly camouflage him between the trees in the forest. Perhaps the most fascinating of all living birds, the ostrich, also streaks across the savannah at speeds of 70 kilometres per hour. Lions roam the riverine forests and lurk behind the volcanic rocks. Who knows? Perhaps you will see the descendants of Elsa and her cubs, who were released into the wild by the famous naturalist Joy Adamson, who loved Shaba more than any other of the Game Reserves in Kenya.
