What's included in the 2-day package?

Typically includes accommodation at Sarova Salt Lick Game Lodge, game drives, and meals. Confirm exact inclusions (transfers, park fees, drinks) with the operator when booking.

How far is this from Mombasa?

Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary is inland from Mombasa. Travel time and transfer logistics depend on your operator; ask about pickup times and journey duration.

Will we see the Big Five?

The Taita Hills and Tsavo East region hosts lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino, but sightings aren't guaranteed. Early/late drives and longer stays increase your chances.

What makes Sarova Salt Lick Game Lodge special?

It's built directly above a natural waterhole, allowing you to observe wildlife from your room, the terrace, and during game drives—a rare luxury safari experience.

Is this suitable for families with children?

Yes, though check age restrictions for game drives with your operator. The lodge's waterhole viewing is safe and engaging for all ages.

What's the best time to book?

Book 4–8 weeks in advance for the dry season (June–October) to secure your preferred room and transfer dates.
