Day-by-Day Itinerary
Your Safari, Step by Step
Your safari begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel in Mombasa. Drive along the Mombasa–Nairobi highway before branching off toward the scenic Taita Hills.
Arrive at the sanctuary and embark on your first game drive, exploring open savannah landscapes dotted with acacia trees and rich wildlife habitats.
Proceed to Taita Hills Game Lodge for lunch, followed by some relaxation as you soak in the tranquil surroundings.
In the afternoon, enjoy another game drive, tracking wildlife across the sanctuary’s diverse terrain. Keep your eyes peeled for lions, elephants, buffaloes, and various plains game.
Later, check in at the iconic Salt Lick Safari Lodge, where you’ll enjoy dinner and overnight stay. Built on stilts overlooking a waterhole, the lodge offers continuous wildlife viewing, even at night—from your room or viewing decks.
Start your day with an early morning game drive, when wildlife is most active. Enjoy the fresh air, scenic plains, and stunning backdrop of the Taita Hills.
