Visit 2 Parks in 2 Days: Private Safari to Tsavo East & Taita Hills with Salt Lick Lodge

Your private safari begins early in the morning with a convenient pickup from your hotel. You’ll travel through Mombasa toward Nairobi, covering approximately 160 km to reach the entrance gate of Tsavo East National Park.
The drive takes about 3 hours, depending on traffic and road conditions. Along the way, you’ll pass through small villages, coastal farmland, and rolling hills – offering you a fascinating glimpse into Kenya’s rural life and ever-changing landscapes. It’s a scenic journey that gradually transitions from lush greenery to the warm, arid tones of the African savannah.
As soon as you enter the park, the adventure begins. The striking red earth, open savannah landscapes, and winding trails instantly immerse you in the wild beauty of authentic Africa. Early wildlife sightings are common. A key highlight is your visit to Kanderi Swamp, a lush area that regularly attracts herds of red elephants and buffaloes. With a bit of luck, you might even spot lions resting in the shade.
At midday, you’ll enjoy lunch at the scenic Voi Safari Lodge, which offers panoramic views over the park’s vast plains and nearby waterholes – a perfect place to take in the surroundings.
In the afternoon, your journey continues as you cross into the Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary. By late afternoon, you’ll arrive at the iconic Salt Lick Safari Lodge, known for its one-of-a-kind stilted architecture and its location right in the heart of wildlife territory. After check-in, you’ll have time to relax before sitting down for a delicious dinner.
Day two starts before sunrise with an exciting early morning game drive – the best time to witness predators in action. Afterwards, you’ll return for a hearty breakfast and then head out on another round of wildlife viewing.
Lunch will be served at the peaceful Taita Hills Lodge, surrounded by nature. Afterwards, you’ll begin the return journey to the coast, full of lasting memories and unforgettable animal encounters.
Two amazing days. Two diverse parks. One extraordinary experience in the wild heart of Kenya.

    Into the Wild

    Your private safari adventure begins early in the morning with a hotel pickup. For a smooth start, we recommend arriving at the hotel reception about 10 minutes before the scheduled time. The usual pickup time is around 5 to 6 AM, but this will be confirmed with you in advance.

    The journey takes you from Mombasa inland towards the Tsavo East National Park, covering approximately 160 km in about 3 hours. Along the way, you'll pass through lively towns, lush palm groves, and scenic rural landscapes that offer a fascinating glimpse into everyday Kenyan life.

    Upon arrival at the park, your first game drive begins right away. The moment you enter, you’re immersed in the African wilderness — the iconic red earth, rough natural tracks, and expansive bush savannah set the scene for a truly authentic experience.

    A highlight of the morning is your visit to the Kanderi Swamp, a lush, water-rich area that regularly attracts herds of red elephants, buffalo, and, with a bit of luck, even resident lions.

    For lunch, you'll stop at the scenic Voi Safari Lodge, perched on a hill with panoramic views over the park’s red plains and nearby waterholes — a perfect spot for wildlife observation.

    After your break, your adventure continues with another game drive as you cross into the neighbouring Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary — a smaller, greener reserve rich in wildlife and landscapes.

    By late afternoon, you'll arrive at the iconic Salt Lick Safari Lodge, famous for its stilted architecture and its position overlooking a busy waterhole. After checking in, take some time to relax before enjoying a delicious dinner while possibly spotting animals gathering right beneath the lodge.
