This our 2 days Mombasa safari to Ngutuni Wildlife Sanctuary and Taita Hills Game Sanctuary is great package, if you want do go on a short safari from Mombasa but also engage in safari activities other than traditional game drives that are available in the national parks.
The two days safari from Mombasa takes you to 2 private wildlife (game) sanctuaries that border the two main national parks that are in the Southern Kenya safari circuit closest to Mombasa; Tsavo East National Park & Tsavo West. Ngutuni Wildlife Sanctuary borders the Tsavo east National Park, while the Taita Hills Game Sanctuary borders the Tsavo West National Park. Wildlife therefore roams freely between the parks and the game sanctuary because there are no fences between the sanctuaries and the national parks.
Basically, the same animals in terms of predators and plain game that you can see in the parks, can be seen in these two sanctuaries. This is apart from the Rhinos whose movement is monitored and restricted in the Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary within the Tsavo West National Park. Both in Ngutuni & Taita Hills you expect to see plenty of elephants, zebras, hartebeests, Impalas, Gazelles, warthogs, lions, Cheetahs, oryx, lesser kudu, water bucks and many other animals, the list is endless. These two sanctuaries share borders with the Tsavo parks and therefore very rich in birdlife with more than 600 bird species already recorded in the area.
Your accommodation during the safari will be at Taita Hills Game Sanctuary where you can either spend the night at Taita Hills Safari Lodge & Resort or at the Salt Lick Lodge within the same game sanctuary. If you can start the safari with Taita Hills Game Sanctuary then it is also an option to spend the night at the Ngutuni Safari Lodge.
Among the unique activities that you can not do in the national parks i.e Tsavo East and Tsavo West but available in these private game sanctuaries include walking safaris and night game drives.
Night game drives are allowed in both Taita Hills Game Sanctuary and the Ngutuni Wildlife Sanctuary. The night game drives at Taita Hills and Ngutuni offers a unique opportunity to spot the nocturnal species and who knows, you may even witness a hunt by the predators.
Walking safari can be done in the Ngutuni Wildlife Sanctuary and it is done by with the escort of resident game rangers at Ngutuni Safari Lodge. The walk takes around 4 hours starting from Ngutuni Safari Lodge and ending at the Ngutuni Hills from which the lodge derives its name. If you are interested in booking any safari tour from Mombasa or this particula 2-day Mombasa safari, do not hesitate to contact our Mombasa safari experts any time.
Pick up from your hotel or beach resort in Mombasa City or from your beach hotel in Diani beach, and transfer to Ngutuni Wildlife Sanctuary where you arrive in the mid morning and start with game drives (safari) straightaway. You will do game drives until later in the afternoon when you will be taken to Ngutuni Safari Lodge for lunch. Ngutuni Lodge has a waterhole in front of the main area and many animals and birds flock the area to drink, offering great views from the comfort of the lodge.
After lunch and some rest your safari guide will take you to Taita Hills Game Sanctuary for an afternoon to Sunset safari game drive where you will be searching for more animals and birds before you are dropped at Salt Lick for dinner and overnight. Overnight at Salt Lick Lodge. All meals included.
Optional night game drive (night safari at Saltlick) can be arranged by the guide or pre-booked at the time of booking. This is arranged at an extra cost; ask for current prices from our Kenya safari experts.
This morning you will wake up early for the sunrise safari even before you take breakfast. Early rise means you get a better chance to spot many animals while they are at the most active, and spot some nocturnal animals as they return from a night out of hunting. Predators too like big cats are more active in the morning before the sun is too hot. You will return for breakfast at the lodge then enjoy one more last game drive in the Taita Hills Sanctuary before you are taken to Taita Hills Lodge for your lunch. After lunch you will drive straight back to Mombasa where your 2 days safari ends. With our 2 days Mombasa safari in Ngutuni and Saltlick, you can be dropped back at your beach resort or hotel in Diani Beach if you are staying at the beach in Diani.
