Overview
A 2-day budget safari from the coast (Diani, Malindi, or Mombasa) into Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary offers a compact wilderness escape. You’ll do game drives, enjoy wildlife viewing, stay one night at a lodge inside the sanctuary, then return to your coast base the next day.
Highlights
- Game drives with chances to see elephants, giraffes, lions, buffalo, zebra and other plains animals
- Exceptional birdwatching — 300+ bird species, including a few endemics like the Taita thrush and Taita apalis.
- Scenic landscapes: rolling savanna, acacia woodlands, hills with dramatic views of the Taita Hills
- Salt Lick Lodge setting: waterholes and salt licks attract wildlife close to lodge areas — good sightings from the lodge itself.
