Activities

Early morning and late afternoon game drives provide an ideal opportunity to view and photograph the diverse array of wildlife within the Sanctuary. During the drives, guests also visit our sister property within the Sanctuary, Salt Lick Game Lodge, where large numbers of wildlife come to drink at the adjacent waterholes - these provide an excellent opportunity to view animals at proximity in their natural habitat.

Take a nature walk with a qualified ranger guide, where the emphasis is on the natural environment you encounter as you stroll through the bush. Marvel at the wildlife usually unnoticed during a game drive but evident on foot, yet still crucial through their impact on the ecology of this diverse ecosystem.

Visit a local and authentic village where you can learn about local cultures, spend a day at Mzima Springs in Tsavo West National Park, famous for its thriving populations of hippos and crocodiles, or visit Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary or Lake Jipe, both also in Tsavo West.

Alternatively, spend the day in Tsavo East National Park, where you can visit popular sites such as Aruba Dam and Lugards Falls, or make an excursion to the nearby Taita Hills, with spectacular views, indigenous forests and rural markets. The region to the west of the Sanctuary is also rich in World War I history, while a crater lake near the Tanzanian border is a mere 60km away.
