Game drives across Tsavo East on day one, then an evening and early-morning drive in the private Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, staying overnight on full board.
Two days give you the best light of a safari: a sunset game drive and an early-morning one, when animals are at their most active. On day one you cross Tsavo East from Bachuma Gate, stopping at Aruba Dam, then leave the park at Voi for the Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, a private sanctuary on the corridor between Tsavo East and Tsavo West. You stay overnight on full board and head out again at dawn, before driving back to your hotel in time for dinner.

“We had a very beautiful trip with lots of wild life.”
The 2-day safari adds a sunset drive, a night at a lodge and a dawn drive, when animals are most active. You also split the driving from the coast over two days.
The sanctuary has two lodges: Salt Lick Safari Lodge, built on stilts, and Taita Hills Safari Resort & Spa. Ask us which one your dates use when you request a quote.

No. It's a private wildlife sanctuary of about 28,000 acres on the corridor between Tsavo East and Tsavo West, so animals move freely between them.
A small bag with a warm layer for the morning drive, a torch, chargers, binoculars and any medication.
