Tsavo East to Taita Hills Sanctuary

Wake up early at 6:00 AM, go for a game drive until 9:00 AM, and return to the lodge for breakfast. Check out and drive to Taita Hills Sanctuary. Enjoy an amazing drive with a view of the diverse landscape. Upon arrival at Taita Hills Lodge, you will check in, then go for a short game drive. You will return to the lodge, have lunch, and relax at the lodge or saltlick for a while. Then, head out for a game drive in the sanctuary searching for lions and other wildlife until sunset.

Return to the lodge for dinner and overnight stay at Salt Lick, which has an imaginative structure. A complex of rondavels sits on stilts over a series of waterholes. These two-story towers, topped by peaked thatch roofs connected by open-air bridges, create an African fantasy of a medieval fortress. The lodge has been built with game viewing in mind. The structure provides a panoramic view of the sanctuary, offering spectacular views of the landscape and wildlife.
