Das Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary und die Lumo Conservancy sind zwei kleinere Parks zwischen den riesigen Nationalparks Tsavo West und Tsavo East. Das 110 Quadratkilometer große Schutzgebiet Taita Hills gehört zu den ältesten Gebirgszügen Afrikas und beherbergt viele endemische Vogelarten wie die Taita-Drossel und größere Wildtiere wie Buschelefanten, Leoparden, Büffel, Geparden und Löwen. Die Lumo Conservancy wird von der Gemeinde geführt und ermöglicht daher auch nächtliche Pirschfahrten – ein fantastisches Erlebnis!

Additional information
The night gamedrive allows you to spot night creatures such as the aardvark and the serval cat, and to get a chance to see lions and leopards hunting. This gamedrive starts right after dinner, and takes you by car into the bush. The ranger will have a light to spot animals lurking around in the dark bushes, which allows you to see more. Usually on a night game drive, the accommodation where you spend the night will provide you with a vehicle and a guide. You may be sharing a jeep with another group if other guests also booked this activity.
The air feels different at night and so does nature itself. Sounds of the wilderness fill the air, the stars stud the sky and not many people get to live to experience this unique gamedrive. Local communities living in this area support and benefit from this park, which definitely makes it worth a visit.
