SHIMBA HILLS





 

 

 

 

Waddle into the fascinating world of our most endangered bird and Animals off the beaten track and away from the tourist traps. In an easy, 1 hour-stroll, across the rain-forest, tarred road, and wooded boardwalk, we will go into secret spaces that only the penguins know.

From encountering sprightly new-born chicks during breeding-season (March to July) to seeing the adults in their annual molt (September to November), or just to enjoy the sight of birds being birds, you’ll learn how to tell a "she" from a "he", how to tell their age, and also participate in real-time research by helping to collect data about the birds we encounter. We will meet a supporting cast of coastal creatures; birds, insects, plants, reptiles and mammals.

Baiji White Dolphin Baiji White Dolphin, its other name is Chinese River Dolphin, it can only be found in the Yangtze River in China. These mammals could grow to eight feet long and weigh up to a quarter of a ton. They relied on echolocation to navigate and hunt for pray due to their tiny eyes and very poor eyesight. Living in the Yangtze for 20 million years, their numbers declined drastically from the 1950s onward.
