What to expect

Your three-day adventure starts bright and early with a drive out to Tsavo East National Park, a place known for offering a raw and untamed safari experience. You’ll cruise through the park on a game drive, spotting wildlife along the way, and stop for lunch at Ashnil Aruba Lodge. After lunch, it’s back out for more exploring. Keep your camera ready, you might catch a glimpse of the Big Five – elephants, lions, buffalo, leopards and rhinos can be found here. As the day winds down, you’ll head over to Taita Hills Lodge for dinner and a good night’s rest.

The next morning, after breakfast, you’ll set out on a game drive through the Taita Hills Sanctuary, home to over 50 species of large mammals, including elephants, giraffes and zebras. You’ll be out until around midday, before heading back to the lodge for lunch. Then, it’s off to Saltlick Safari Lodge, where the rooms are perched above the plains on stilts. In the afternoon, you’ll go on another game drive through the sanctuary, where you might spot everything from giraffes and zebras to elephants and lions. After dinner, things get even more exciting with a night game drive – a chance to see what the animals get up to after dark.

On your last day, you’ll be up early for one final game drive. And if the weather’s on your side, you might even catch sight of the snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro in the distance. After breakfast, you’ll head back to Mombasa, arriving at your hotel in the early afternoon.

    Our experience was amazing, however the driver/guide that we had was not great. One of our companions on the safari was bullied by the guide and overall he was quite unengaged. Myself and one of the others on the trip pretty much spotted every animal that we spotted.

    We had pressure to hand over water bottles that we had no idea we were getting in the first place apparently to local orphans, we were taken to a masi village that wasn't on our itinerary and also cost us $20 each. How can you say no when you are there in front of them. It was forced. We could have spent the time at the lovely hotels that we spent the nights in but didn't have time to use things like the pool. The actual safari was fantastic and we loved it.

    Very enjoyable overall but I think lodges could make things easier for guests with mobility issues by not placing them in rooms as far away from reception areas as possible.

    The area are nice and the views are lovely but not much animals can seen mostly individual or small groups sometimes they are far , the drivers are nice and friendly and there are radio communication between them to have any action or interesting animals around different areas. The lodges are nice clean friendly staff nice food some of them you can see many animals around
