Why Stay at Taita Hills Safari Resort & Spa?
Taita Hills Safari Resort & Spa is unlike any other Kenyan safari property: a stone citadel built in distinctive fort style, complete with an on-site museum dedicated to the region's World War I history. It combines that heritage character with four-star resort facilities at the entrance to a private wildlife sanctuary.
Where Is Taita Hills Safari Resort & Spa & What Wildlife Can You See?
The resort stands directly at the main gate of the private Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary near Mwatate, between Nairobi and Mombasa in the greater Tsavo region. Elephant, buffalo, giraffe and plains game move through the sanctuary, and an active watering hole on the resort grounds draws animals into view. Because the sanctuary is private, night game drives are permitted - a rarity in Kenya.
Rooms & Style
The 62 rooms and suites offer double or twin beds, en-suite bathrooms and views over the gardens or surrounding hills. Expansive manicured grounds, a large pool, spa, gym and conference space give the resort broader facilities than most safari lodges, and a native tree is planted for every arriving guest under its eco-pledge programme. Dining is full board as standard, spanning international and pan-African buffets, poolside barbecue dinners and packed safari picnic boxes.
Who Is It Ideal For?
- History enthusiasts intrigued by the WWI battlefield heritage
- Families wanting resort comforts with genuine game viewing
- Coast-based travellers adding a short safari from Mombasa
- Guests keen on night drives in a private sanctuary
