Overview
The 5 Days Salt Lick & Amboseli Safari is a 5-day safari through Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary & Amboseli National Park, Kenya, designed and operated by Saringi Tours. Based in Nairobi and women-led, Saringi has been building private African itineraries since 2018. This route takes in Amboseli, with each day sequenced to put you in the right place at the right time for wildlife.
Bush and beach is one of East Africa's most satisfying combinations, and this 5-day itinerary gets the balance right: proper wildlife days in prime game country, then a coastal or island stay to wind down. Transfers, accommodation, and logistics are all managed by the Saringi team in Nairobi. Dates, lodge category, and duration can be adjusted to suit your schedule.

Salt Lick Lodge: elephants, lions and nocturnal wildlife gathering at the illuminated waterhole
Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary: Big Five in the ancient hills between coast and plains

Observation Hill panorama: sweeping views of Amboseli's swamps, herds and the summit

I had an absolutely wonderful time in Kenya, all thanks to Millcent / Saringi Travel. From the incredibly friendly and reliable communication, to the flexible and thoughtful travel planning, all the way to the outstanding care on the ground, everything was simply perfect. I always felt well taken care of and in the best hands. What impressed me most was not only their professionalism, but also the sheer beauty of the entire experience. I'm still completely in awe!
