3 Days Beach to Bush

Taita Hills & Salt Lick Escape.

About The Safari

Need a break from the beach? Swap the ocean breeze for the cool air of the Taita Hills in this
exclusive 3-day getaway. This “Beach to Bush” mini-safari takes you to a private sanctuary
famous for its unique stilt-lodges and underground bunkers that get you eye-to-eye with
elephants. It is the perfect, quick injection of wilderness adventure without straying too far from
the coast.

Itinerary

📅 DAY 1

Coast to Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary
We pick you up directly from your beach hotel (Mombasa, Diani, or Watamu) and drive inland towards the rolling Taita Hills. The Experience: Leave the humidity behind as we ascend into this lush, private sanctuary. Arrive in time for lunch at your lodge likely the famous Salt Lick Safari Lodge, where rooms are built on stilts. In the afternoon, embark on a game drive to spot lions, buffaloes, and over 300 bird species.

Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary (Full Day)
Enjoy a full day exploring this biodiversity hotspot. The Experience: Taita Hills is a vital wildlife corridor between Tsavo East and West, meaning the game viewing is spectacular. Spend the day traversing the savannah woodlands and riverine forests, or visit the underground tunnel to watch elephants drink just inches away from you!

Taita Hills to The Coast After a final morning game drive and breakfast, we begin our descent back to the coast. The Experience: Enjoy the scenic drive back to the ocean, arriving at your beach hotel in time for a sunset dip.
