Day 1
Mombasa to Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary
The Buffalo Steps Adventures guide will pick you up from your beach hotel at 7:00am. You will depart by road to the Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, enjoying a scenic game drive along the way. Upon arrival at the lodge, you will have lunch and take some time to relax before heading out for another game drive in the sanctuary, where you will search for lions and other wildlife. After the game drive, you will return to the lodge for dinner and spend the night at Salt Lick Safari Lodge. Salt Lick Safari Lodge is particularly memorable for its imaginative design. A complex of rondavels is elevated on stilts above a series of waterholes. These two-story towers, topped with peaked thatch roofs and connected by open-air bridges, create an enchanting atmosphere reminiscent of a medieval fortress. The lodge has been designed with game viewing in mind, providing a panoramic view of the sanctuary and offering spectacular vistas of the landscape and wildlife.

Amboseli 3-days short tour with everything
We had a 3 day tour of Amboseli with Buffalo Steps Adventures sighting everything from a clear view of Kilimanjaro during the game drive and in camp. We saw many classic savannahs animals including lions, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, elephants, hyenas, gazelles, wildebeest, warthogs, ostriches... ... Our driver Geoffrey was very knowledgeable in pointing them out. We also stopped by a Masai village and market. Very good value for money and an unforgettable safari in Kenya!

A friendly and honest company
We booked a safari to Taita Hills Sanctuary and had an extremely friendly and knowledgeable guide in David. He went out of this way to make us comfortable and despite the five-hour journey to Taitia Hills Sanctuary he remained cheerful and informative. The actual tour of the sanctuary was brilliant with David able to find the animals with great success through his knowlege of the sanctuary or liasiing with other drivers. David remained very helpful and was very polite and because my wife used a walking stick made sure that she was able to gain entry to the vehicle and also helped her to exit the vehicle. The Taita Hills Sanctuary is an amazing safari destination and highly recommend that visitors use Buffalo Steps Adventures .
