Climbing Taita Hills

Climb the beautiful Taita Hills. Drive through lush, mountainous Taita, where the climate is perfect and the views stunning over what is known to the locals as ‘ little Switzerland.’ Walk through the farmlands and interact with the locals in their daily chores. It takes about 45 minutes of steep walking from where you leave your vehicle to where the view is panoramic. The camp will supply you with a nourishing, packed picnic lunch.

A bush walk or morning game drive culminates in the best meal of the day. Enhanced by being eaten under a tree. Fresh fruit, juice, tea, coffee, and a cooked breakfast to your requirements will be freshly prepared by our chef while you relax and soak up the atmosphere of the bush through which you have just meandered.

Visit Lake Jipe

About one and a half hours from Soroi Lions Bluff, in Tsavo West, lies this freshwater lake that borders Tanzania. A host to hippos, crocodiles, and unique birdlife. A lake shared by two countries, each with different economic values.

Since the Kenyan side of the lake lies in Tsavo West National Park, no fishing is allowed. Tanzania allows controlled fishing. Boat rides are provided at an extra cost. A Packed picnic meal is provided for your lunch.

Battlefield Tour

Soroi Lions Bluff Lodge is situated close to the strategic arena in the East African campaign of World War 1. We host a series of unique battlefield tours that retrace the battle lines of perhaps the strangest campaign in British and German military history. The tour covers Mwashoti Village, Salita Hill Village, Picket Hill, and Maktau Indian Commonwealth war graves in remembrance of the fallen heroes, and it ends at the World War 1 museum in Taita Hills Lodge.

Climb Kasigau

Mt. Kasigau is part of the Eastern Arch Mountains and is renowned for its endemic Flora and Fauna. This is a 3-hour ascent, 1641 meters above sea level. Discover a World War 1 British encampment with visible trenches and hideouts, identify rare trees and birds, and enjoy learning more about the culture of the local Taita people. Best to start before the first light with a packed picnic breakfast and lunch.

Visiting Shetani Lava Flow & Mzima Springs

Mzima Springs is a series of four natural springs in Tsavo National Park, producing an incredible 250 million liters of fresh water daily. The source of the spring rises in the Chyulu Hills and provides the bulk of Mombasa’s fresh water.

The springs are resident by hippos, Nile crocodiles, and various birdlife. There’s an underwater viewing chamber where you can see the fish swimming in the clear waters. The flows were formed a few hundred years ago.

This vast expanse of folded black lava spreads 50 kilometers across the savannah near the Chyulu Hills. The last major eruption here is believed to have occurred around 200 years ago. Nearby are the Shetani Caves, which are also the result of volcanic activity.
