The en-suite round rooms are comfortably if basically furnished, but it's the experience you're here for not the room decor, although the public areas are sumptuously decorated with rugs, batiks, and a number of authentic African artifacts. Request a top room or one over a waterhole for a close-up encounter with elephants, buffalos, and lots of other game. Be sure to visit the underground viewing room at night, because you've a better chance of spotting nocturnal animals like civets, porcupine, and maybe even a leopard. The food is excellent with lots of fresh homegrown vegetables.

Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary is a privately owned conservation area located at the foot of the Taita Hills adjacent to Tsavo West National Park in Kenya – one of the world's largest game reserves. The Sanctuary provides a safe habitat to over 50 species of mammals and 300 species of birds within 28,000 acres of rolling savannah and woodland. The Sanctuary is a success story in sustainable conservation where wildlife including elephant, lion, buffalo and giraffe thrive.This commitment to responsible ecotourism, which has been so well supported by visitors, ensures that the Sanctuary and all its wildlife will continue to prosper. The Sanctuary offers many diverse opportunities for guests to experience the unique flora, fauna and culture of this fascinating ecosystem. Tsavo National Park is only a 30-minute flight or 3-hour drive from the sun-drenched shores of the Indian Ocean. Here the quiet beaches, warm waters and cool cocktails will help you wind down after a Kenya safari vacation. Wildlife survives and thrives where there are suitable protected habitats and at Taita, a highly trained team of rangers ensure that none of the animals are disturbed or harassed in any way.

An extensive network of roads give good access to most parts of the Sanctuary and every junction is identified with numbered posts. Sections of the Sanctuary are closed to traffic in order to provide a safe haven for timid species. We are very proud of the wildlife management achievements made within the Sanctuary and this is mainly due to the support we receive from our visitors and guests.  The highly trained teams of rangers regularly patrol the Sanctuary to ensure the well-being and safety of animals and visitors alike.

Tsavo National Park Information
The twin National Parks of Tsavo East and West together form one of Africa’s largest wilderness reserves. Tsavo as a whole consists of 10 million acres of pure wilderness, incorporating savannah, ranges and hills, acacia and montane forest, and an extensive river system. This single National Park is larger than the island of Jamaica.
The main Kenya –Uganda railway crosses the tsavo in the middle thus distinguishing the East from the west. In 1899, the scene of one of Africa’s greatest Adventure stories was this railway, where two large lions actively preyed on the railway workers as they built a bridge over the Tsavo River, claiming over 120 victims.

They evaded hunters for well over a year, which led to the birth of the legend of the Man-eaters of Tsavo.
While on safari in Tsavo National Park here, you shall behold large herds of elephant, lion, Eland, Giraffe Impala, Kudu and possibly Rhinoceros. As a birder’s paradise, numerous species of weavers, hornbills, sunbirds, rollers, and raptors are commonly seen. There are interesting geographical features not to be missed.  The Lugard falls (not true falls but a series of rapids over rock formations) is of particular note.

The natural volcanic mzima springs are alive with Hippopotamus and waterfowl. A unique underwater observatory has been built that gives you an incredible view of this crystal clear underwater world, where massive hippos glide silently through swirling shoals of barbel. The park is host to a number of caves and due to its easy accessibility on foot; visitors can visit these along with the Shetani Lava Flow and the Chaimu Volcanic crater. Plentiful accommodation is available in the park.
