Day 2: Ngutuni Sanctuary – Taita Hills Sanctuary

Stop At: Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, Tsavo West Off Voi Taveta Highway, Tsavo National Park West Kenya
The Taita Hills Sanctuary is a privately owned game ranch which was formerly operated by the Hilton Hotels International who owned and managed two game lodges within the sanctuary. the Lodges are currently under the Sarova Chi of Hotels. In relation to its giant neighbor Tsavo, the sanctuary is tiny, only 11,330 ha, but it is a model conservation area with its own warden and rangers and at times has wildlife in plenty.

Elephant and lion are resident and buffalo and cheetah are easily found. It is near to Lake Jipe which can be approached from the sanctuary. It is also possible, from this location, to visit the Taita Hills. A switchback tarmac road makes the ascent into a fertile and very beautiful landscape and the contrast with the scrubland below is remarkable.

The hills are densely populated but small pockets of isolated forest are retained. The hills are sufficiently isolated to develop endemic forms and birders come from afar to see the Taita Olive Thrush and the Taita White-eye. Some of the well-known house plants – African violets – have their origins in these hills; there are twenty species which all come from the Taita Hills and the Nguru mountains in Tanzania.

Lake Chala, like Lake Jipe shared with Tanzania, is a gem of a fresh water lake hidden in its own crater and whose outstanding beauty is therefore easily missed, although only a short distance from the Taveta to Amboseli road. If you feel inclined to take a walk give yourself about four hours to complete a circuit of the crater. There are crocodile in the lake.

Stop At: Tsavo East, Voi Mageso Chember, Tsavo National Park East 00200 Kenya
Tsavo East National Park is a natural area of flat, dry plains, with thorny bushes and swampy marshland near the river. It is teeming with diverse Kenyan animals including large families of giraffes, gazelles, hartebeests and zebras, as well as the “Big Five” must-see animals – buffalo, African elephants, lions, rhinos and leopards.

The main purpose of a wildlife safari is to see Kenyan animals in their natural state. It never ceases to surprise people when they see birds perched near crocodiles, or gazelles grazing near big cats; however, the truth is that predators generally only kill to eat and, otherwise, the animals live together in harmony.

These are the most common Kenyan animals you may see during your visit to Tsavo East National Park: Cape buffalo, cheetahs, duikers, African elephants, gazelles, gerenuks, giraffes, hares, hartebeests, hyenas, impalas, leopards, lions, mongoose, black faced vervet monkeys, Sykes’s monkeys, crested porcupines, giant rats, black rhinoceros, squirrels, warthogs, waterbucks, and zebras.
