How to Combine Taita Hills Hiking with a Tsavo Safari Experience
Why choose between open savannah game drives and misty mountain trekking when both lie in the same picturesque geographical pocket?
The Geographic Advantage
Voi town serves as the meeting junction between the plains of Tsavo and the mountain road ascending into Wundanyi in the Taita Hills, just 45 minutes apart.
Suggested 4-Day Route
Days 1–2: Tsavo East wildlife safari (elephants, lions, Aruba Dam). Day 3: Ascend Taita Hills for Vuria Hill summit trek and cooler mountain climate. Day 4: Return to the coast.
Packing for Two Climates
Bring both light khaki safari gear for Tsavo’s 30°C savannah and warmer layers plus sturdy tread boots for Taita’s 16°C mountain heights.
