2-Day Tsavo East & Salt Lick Safari from Mombasa

Your Saringi driver-guide collects you early from your Mombasa hotel, with other coastal pick-up points arranged in advance. Travel inland in a 4×4 Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof as the coastal greenery gives way to drier bush. Once inside Tsavo East National Park, begin a game drive across the wide plains, looking for red-dusted elephants, buffalo, giraffe, zebra and antelope. Your guide watches for lions too, taking time with the sightings you find. At midday, stop for lunch at Ashnil Aruba Lodge overlooking Aruba Dam. Then leave the national park and continue to Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary for your overnight stay at Salt Lick Safari Lodge. Settle into your Waterhole room before an evening game drive through the sanctuary. Dinner is served at the lodge, where the floodlit waterhole gives you somewhere to keep watching after dark. If you would like to join the lodge's optional night drive, we can confirm availability and the separate charge.

Head out at first light for a game drive while the air is still cool. Follow the sanctuary tracks with your guide, watching for predators returning from the night's activity and plains animals beginning to move. Back at Salt Lick, sit down to breakfast. If time allows before check-out, visit the underground viewing hide: its ground-level windows give a different perspective on animals coming to the waterhole. Leave the sanctuary for the coast, stopping for lunch along the way. An afternoon drop-off at your Mombasa hotel is planned. A Mombasa port drop-off or return to another coastal hotel is arranged in advance around your onward schedule.
