Mombasa To Tsavo East & Taita Hills/Salt Lick Safari!
Think about it – just a few hours from the beach, real-life safari adventures are waiting for you, wildlife at Tsavo east national park! Then, we’ll add to the fun with a quick hop over to nearby Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary for a different safari experience. This short 2-day safari is perfect for a quick, last-minute getaway.
Itinerary:
Day 1
Mombasa – Tsavo east (Approx. 3 hours)
We’ll be up early for a busy safari day, traveling along the Mombasa road. We’ll pass by farms and homesteads on this picturesque drive. We’ll arrive at Tsavo East mid-morning, with plenty of time for a game drive before lunch. On these broad plains, we’ll be looking for some of the largest elephant herds in Kenya. Don’t be surprised if these enormous creatures are reddish in color.
That’s from rolling in the red-dust soil of the park. You’ll enjoy a leisurely lunch and learn the finer points of game watching from your expert driver/guide. Any questions or concerns during your safari – just ask your guide. He’s always happy to help. In the afternoon, as the park cools down and the animals emerge from their resting spots, looking to feed and drink, we’ll head out on another game drive. Look for antelope, zebra, giraffe and of course, the big cats.
Day 2
TSAVO EAST – MOMBASA (Approx. 3 hours)
There’s nothing like rising at the crack of dawn to witness the animals emerging into the day. We like to call this the “Wasili Kenya Safaris Experience” – a beautiful and inspiring moment, especially as the African sunrise lights up the plains. We’ll be up for a pre-breakfast game drive to watch the wildlife come awake and enjoy the early morning light over the sanctuary’s green hills.
After breakfast at our lodge, we’ll venture out for one more game drive in this compact but densely populated reserve. This will give us opportunities to view more of our favorite animals and perhaps to spot others for the first time. Taking a last look at Taita Hills, we’ll depart the reserve with photos and memories of our safari adventure.
We’ll head out for the Kenya Coast on the Nairobi-Mombasa Road and enjoy a rest stop for lunch on the way. By late afternoon or early evening, we’ll have you back at your hotel or beach resort. Asante! (Thank you!) for joining us on this busy 2-day safari. We hope you enjoyed yourself and will come see us again!
