Explore Tsavo East and Taita Hills on a 3-day safari from Diani or Mombasa with elephants, lions, wildlife, game drives and the Salt Lick waterhole.
A 3-day Tsavo East and Taita Hills safari from Diani or Mombasa combines two very different wildlife experiences in southeastern Kenya.
Begin in the wide-open landscapes of Tsavo East National Park, where red-dusted elephants move across the savannah and wildlife gathers around seasonal rivers and water sources.
Then continue to Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, a private wildlife sanctuary near Tsavo West where you can experience a more intimate wildlife setting and stay near the famous waterhole at Salt Lick Safari Lodge.
This coast-to-bush safari is ideal for travelers who want to add a genuine wildlife experience to a Diani or Mombasa beach holiday without committing to a long safari.
With Horizon Explorer Africa Safaris, we arrange the transport, accommodation and game drives around your travel dates and preferred safari style.
Your journey, your way.
Your safari begins with an early morning pickup from your Diani Beach resort or Mombasa hotel.Leave the coast behind and travel inland towards Tsavo East National Park.The journey takes you through changing landscapes as the coastal environment gives way to the drier savannah of Tsavo.Enter Tsavo East through a suitable park gate, commonly Bachuma Gate for travelers approaching from the coast.Once inside the park, begin your first game drive.The drive towards your lodge or camp becomes part of the safari as you search for elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, lions and other wildlife along the route.Arrive at your accommodation around lunchtime, depending on your selected lodge and road conditions.After lunch and some time to relax, head out for an afternoon game drive.Explore the surrounding plains as the afternoon temperatures become cooler and wildlife activity increases.Return to your lodge or camp in the evening for dinner and overnight.Overnight: Tsavo East Meals: Lunch & dinner Activities: Park entry and afternoon game drive

One of the memorable features of staying at Salt Lick Safari Lodge is the opportunity to observe the surrounding waterhole from the elevated lodge setting.
Instead of every wildlife encounter happening from inside the safari vehicle, you can sometimes sit quietly at the lodge and watch the bush around you.
Elephants, buffaloes and other animals may approach the water depending on the season, weather and availability of other water sources.
This is one of the features that makes a Taita Hills stay different from a conventional game-drive-only safari.
Both destinations support a diverse range of wildlife, although sightings vary from day to day.
You may encounter elephants, lions, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, antelope, hippos, warthogs and a variety of birds.
Leopards and cheetahs are also present but can be elusive.
The sanctuary provides opportunities to see elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, antelope and predators, depending on wildlife movements and the areas visited.
The waterhole near the lodge can provide additional viewing opportunities, particularly when animals come to drink.
Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed. Our guides use their experience, recent sightings and knowledge of the area to maximize your opportunities while keeping the game drives flexible.
Leave your Diani or Mombasa hotel in the morning.
By afternoon, you can be watching elephants crossing the Tsavo plains.
The following day, trade the open savannah for the hills and wildlife of Taita Hills.
As evening approaches, settle into your lodge and watch the waterhole as the bush begins to cool.
Then, after one final morning game drive, return to the coast.
Beach in the morning. Safari by afternoon.
