Set within the privately managed Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary — a 28,000-acre conservancy bordering Tsavo West National Park — Taita Hills Safari Resort delivers a polished safari experience with the intimacy and exclusivity of a private reserve. The resort's comfortable lodge-style rooms are framed by ancient Taita Hills country, where open savannah rolls into rocky outcrops and indigenous forest edges. As the sanctuary's main lodge, it operates alongside the iconic Salt Lick Safari Lodge nearby, and guests have access to guided game drives, bush walks, and cultural experiences in one of southern Kenya's most rewarding and underrated wildlife destinations.
The Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary supports elephant, lion, cheetah, leopard, giraffe, zebra, and a rich antelope community that includes the elegant gerenuk — an unusual, long-necked browser that feeds standing upright on acacia branches. Its proximity to both Tsavo East and Tsavo West makes the sanctuary a practical hub for multi-park combination itineraries. The dry months of June to October and January to February offer optimal game-viewing visibility. Rates are subject to seasonal variation; low-season pricing will be incorporated to open this remarkable private conservancy to year-round travellers.
