What sets this 5-day Tsavo East, Tsavo West, and Salt Lick Lodge safari apart is the diversity of landscapes and experiences combined in one seamless journey. From the vast red-elephant plains of Tsavo East to the lush scenery and natural springs of Tsavo West, the tour offers varied wildlife viewing beyond a single park. The highlight stay at Salt Lick Safari Lodge, built on stilts overlooking floodlit waterholes, allows guests to watch animals gather even from the lodge itself, creating a uniquely immersive safari experience that blends adventure, comfort, and unforgettable close-up wildlife encounters.

Start early from your pickup point and drive into Tsavo East National Park, one of Kenya’s largest parks renowned for its vast red dust plains and diverse wildlife. Enjoy your first game drive en route to your lodge, where you’ll have lunch and settle in. In the late afternoon, head out again for another game drive, keeping an eye out for giraffes, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, and, with luck, lions and cheetahs before returning to your lodge for dinner and rest.
After breakfast, spend a full day game driving in Tsavo East, exploring its unique landscapes and abundant wildlife. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to spot iconic species and learn from your guide about animal behavior and park ecology. Picnic lunch in the park adds to the safari experience, and in the evening you’ll return to your lodge, relaxed and ready for dinner.
Early departure takes you toward Tsavo West National Park, where the scenery changes to lush vegetation, rolling hills, and volcanic features. A highlight stop is Mzima Springs, with crystal-clear pools that allow you to see hippos and crocodiles through an underwater viewing chamber. After exploring Tsavo West’s diverse habitats, head to Salt Lick Safari Lodge in the Taita Hills Conservancy for dinner and overnight.
Today you’ll venture into the Taita Hills Conservancy, adjacent to Tsavo West, enjoying game drives in this beautiful wildlife sanctuary with fewer crowds and excellent sightings. After lunch at a local resort, return to Salt Lick Lodge for a short rest before an unforgettable sunset game drive, when many animals are most active against the stunning backdrop of golden light. Dinner and overnight follow at the lodge.
Rise early for a final morning game drive in the Taita Hills area, giving you one last chance to spot wildlife before breaking camp.
