Experience one of the most photographed landscapes in Africa with Stejos Tours and Travel. This Madaraka Express Special takes the stress out of travel by combining return SGR tickets with private transfers and luxury accommodation. The Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary serves as a vital corridor between Tsavo East and West, hosting a high density of elephants, lions, and buffaloes that frequent the waterholes directly beneath your room.
Choose your vibe: the Salt Lick Safari Lodge, famous for its iconic circular towers on stilts, provides a front-row seat to wildlife drama at the waterhole. Alternatively, the Taita Hills Safari Resort & Spa, built like a German fortress, offers expansive gardens and an on-site museum. Beyond the game drives, this package includes a unique World War I Heritage Tour, where you can explore the region's pivotal role in the East African campaign. It is the perfect mix of relaxation, education, and raw African wilderness.
