Day-by-Day Itinerary

Your safari begins with an early morning pick-up from Nairobi or Mombasa, heading towards Tsavo East National Park via the main highway. Upon arrival, enter the park and begin an en-route game drive as you proceed deeper into the wilderness. Tsavo East is known for its vast open plains and red soil, which gives elephants their iconic reddish appearance. Continue game viewing as you drive toward your lodge or camp. Expect sightings of elephants, giraffes, zebras, ostriches, antelopes, and possibly predators such as lions and cheetahs. Arrive at your lodge or camp in time for lunch and check-in. After a short rest, proceed for an afternoon game drive exploring different sections of the park, including the Galana River region. Return to your lodge in the evening for dinner and overnight stay.
After breakfast, enjoy a morning game drive in Tsavo East, focusing on high wildlife activity areas. Later, depart Tsavo East and drive towards Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, experiencing a dramatic change in scenery from open plains to rolling hills and forested landscapes. Arrive at Salt Lick Safari Lodge in time for check-in and lunch. The lodge is uniquely built on stilts and overlooks a busy waterhole that attracts wildlife throughout the day and night. In the afternoon, relax at the lodge or enjoy a game drive within the sanctuary. As evening approaches, experience one of Africa’s most unique safari highlights — observing wildlife directly from the lodge’s elevated viewing decks as animals gather at the illuminated waterholes. Dinner and overnight stay at Salt Lick Safari Lodge.
