Taita Hills & Saltlick Safari Escape
New
Start on Diani Beach and set off inland for a two day safari to Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, before returning to Diani. Expect scenic drives via Voi, early and late game drives, and rich wildlife sightings – lions, elephants, buffalo, cheetah, giraffe and prolific birdlife. Stay at a safari lodge, with superb views over a busy waterhole. An underground tunnel and bunker with ground level windows brings you thrillingly close to animals at the salt licks – perfect for photography.

Itinerary
Day 1 - Voi & Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary Safari
Diani Beach - Voi - Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary. Meet your safari driver for a short briefing before you depart Diani Beach at 0600 hrs. Travel inland via Voi on a relaxed, scenic drive, arriving at Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary in the morning. After entering the sanctuary, you head straight out on a mid morning game drive – the reserve is home to four of the Big Five and sits adjacent to Tsavo West National Park. You then break for lunch.
In the afternoon, make the most of the lodge’s lobby and terraces for excellent viewing and photography – then visit the underground tunnel and bunker, where ground level windows offer remarkably close yet safe views of wildlife at the waterhole and salt licks. You venture out again for an afternoon game drive before returning for dinner and overnight.
Day 2 - Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary Safari & Diana Beach
At daybreak you depart the lodge for a rewarding morning game drive, when wildlife is most active. Search for lions, elephants, buffalo, cheetah, giraffe and hyena, and enjoy the conservancy’s rich birdlife.
Return to the lodge for breakfast, then check out and take a final short game drive as you exit the conservancy. Travel back to Diani, arriving in the afternoon, and we’ll drop you at your beach hotel or residence – the end of your two days on safari.
