Taita Hills Game Sanctuary Safari from Nairobi
adventure in the bush begins with spectacular Amboseli
National Park. Romantically situated in the foothills
of Mount Kilimanjaro, Amboseli is famous for its tremendous
variety of big game.
We
arrived at Amboseli by road at lunch time. Our delightful
lodge is perfectly located in the very centre of the
reserve. We awaken to the sights and sounds of big game
country and, if we’re lucky, to a view of Kilimanjaro
often unclouded in the early morning sky.
In
addition to elephant, antelope, zebra, wildebeest, buffalo
and the rare black rhino, Amboseli is sought after by
travelers in the know for its breathtaking scenery and
easily approachable wildlife. Just after day break,
we venture into the crisp morning air in search of the
great herds. Our game drives are sure to reveal great
wonders.
Awaiting
us at our next stop is a sheltered oasis Tsavo National
Park, with special attractions including Mzima Springs
& underwater hippo watching, Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary
among others.
Tsavo
National Park is unique and its habitat include open
plains alternating with Savannah bush and semi desert
scrub, acacia woodlands; rocky ridges and outcrops and
more extensive ranges and isolated hills; belts of riverine
vegetation; palm thickets and mountain forest.
Taita
Hills Wildlife Sanctuary is spectacularly located at
the foot of the Taita Hills adjacent to Tsavo National
Park, one of the world's largest game reserves.
The
Sanctuary, established in 1972, is privately owned and
managed and covers a protected area of 28,000 acres
(approximately 44 sq. miles) rising to an altitude of
3,600 ft above sea level.
It consists mainly of plains and woodlands, with typical
riverbank vegetation along the water course. Flanked
by the eye-catching and craggy Taita Hills, the park
offers a safe-haven to a wide variety of animals and
birds in a compact area of natural beauty.
More
than 50 species of mammals are found in this area and
over 300 species of birds have been recorded within
its boundaries.
