Hippotragus niger roosevelti is found only in the protected 192-square-kilometre reserve.
It’s late evening when we drive into the reserve on the high ridges of the Shimba Hills near the famed beaches of Tiwi and Diani at Kenya's Coast.
The gate shows off the antelope in metal.
In the late afternoon, we make our way to the bandas for the night, passing a troop of colobus monkeys in the high canopy.
