3 Days Nairobi to Diani Beach Safari – Amboseli & Salt Lick

Experience two completely different wildlife environments on this 3 Days Nairobi to Diani Beach Safari, combining the elephant-rich landscapes of Amboseli National Park with the remarkable Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary and Salt Lick Safari Lodge before continuing directly to Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast.

This private safari is an excellent choice for travellers whose holiday begins in Nairobi and continues at Diani Beach, Mombasa or Malindi.

Rather than travelling directly from Nairobi to the coast, you transform the journey into an unforgettable wildlife adventure.

Your safari begins in Amboseli National Park, one of Kenya’s most celebrated wildlife destinations. Here, large elephant families roam across open plains and wetlands beneath the magnificent potential backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro.

From Amboseli, your journey continues into the Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, where you spend the night at the iconic Salt Lick Safari Lodge. Built on stilts above the surrounding landscape and overlooking waterholes regularly visited by wildlife, Salt Lick offers one of Kenya’s most distinctive safari accommodation experiences.

On the final day, enjoy another wildlife experience in Taita Hills before continuing directly to your beach hotel.

Nairobi → Amboseli → Taita Hills & Salt Lick → Diani Beach, Mombasa or Malindi

Three days.

Two contrasting safari destinations.

One private 4x4 Safari Land Cruiser.

And a seamless journey from Nairobi to Kenya’s tropical coast.

Safari Route

Day 1: Nairobi → Amboseli National Park

Day 2: Amboseli National Park → Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary & Salt Lick

Day 3: Taita Hills / Salt Lick → Diani Beach, Mombasa or Malindi

Why Choose This 3-Day Amboseli & Salt Lick Safari?

The greatest attraction of this safari is the amount of variety you experience within only three days.

Amboseli and Taita Hills provide very different safari environments.

In Amboseli, the scenery is characterised by open plains, wetlands, large elephant herds and the potential backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro.

At Taita Hills, the landscape changes and the safari becomes more intimate. Wildlife can be observed during game drives within the sanctuary, while Salt Lick Safari Lodge creates the unusual possibility of watching animals approaching the waterholes from the comfort of the lodge itself.

The itinerary therefore combines a traditional national park safari with one of Kenya’s most recognisable wildlife-lodge experiences.

It is particularly suitable for travellers who want a short safari but still want more than one destination before continuing to the beach.

A Perfect Nairobi-to-Coast Safari

This itinerary is designed around the natural direction of your Kenya holiday.

You begin in Nairobi.

You travel south to Amboseli.

You continue east toward Taita Hills.

And from there, you travel directly to the Indian Ocean coast.

There is no need to return to Nairobi after your safari.

For travellers who already plan to stay in Diani Beach, Mombasa or Malindi, this creates an efficient and memorable journey across southern Kenya.

Detailed 3-Day Nairobi, Amboseli & Salt Lick Safari Itinerary

Day 1: Nairobi to Amboseli National Park

Your private safari begins in Nairobi.

Your professional Felessy Tours & Safaris driver-guide will collect you from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, your Nairobi hotel or another agreed pick-up location.

After introductions and a short safari briefing, your luggage will be loaded into your private 4x4 Safari Land Cruiser.

You then leave Nairobi and begin travelling south toward Amboseli National Park.

As the capital gradually disappears behind you, the scenery becomes increasingly open and rural.

Appropriate comfort stops can be made during the journey.

When weather conditions are favourable, Mount Kilimanjaro may begin appearing on the southern horizon as you approach Amboseli.

Mount Kilimanjaro and Amboseli

Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest mountain and one of the most recognisable natural landmarks on the continent.

Although Kilimanjaro itself lies across the international border in Tanzania, Amboseli provides some of Kenya’s most famous views of the mountain.

On a clear day, the mountain can create a magnificent backdrop behind elephants, giraffes and other wildlife.

However, Kilimanjaro is frequently affected by changing cloud conditions.

The mountain may be completely visible, partly visible or hidden throughout much of the day.

For this reason, a clear Kilimanjaro view can never be guaranteed.

When the clouds do clear, the experience can be extraordinary.

Arrival in Amboseli National Park

Enter Amboseli and begin your first wildlife-viewing experience.

Your professional driver-guide will explore suitable areas while searching for the animals that make Amboseli such a rewarding safari destination.

Possible wildlife sightings include:

• African elephants
• Lions
• Cheetahs
• African buffaloes
• Giraffes
• Zebras
• Wildebeest
• Gazelles
• Warthogs
• Hippos
• Hyenas
• Jackals
• Baboons
• Numerous bird species

All wildlife lives freely within the ecosystem, so individual sightings can never be guaranteed.

Your guide will use experience, knowledge of the park and current wildlife movements to make the most of the game drive.

The Elephants of Amboseli

Amboseli is particularly famous for elephants.

For many travellers, observing an elephant family moving across the open plains becomes one of the defining experiences of their Kenya safari.

Elephants are highly social animals.

Family groups may contain adult females, adolescents and young calves.

You may see them feeding, walking toward water, interacting with one another or crossing the plains together.

Individual mature bulls may also be encountered.

A private safari allows you to spend more time observing interesting behaviour whenever circumstances and park regulations permit.

Amboseli Wetlands

Although some parts of Amboseli can appear dry, important wetland areas support large concentrations of wildlife.

Elephants may feed in the marshes.

Buffaloes can gather nearby.

Hippos occupy suitable aquatic areas.

Waterbirds and other species can be abundant.

The contrast between green wetlands, dry plains and Mount Kilimanjaro creates one of the most distinctive landscapes of any Kenyan national park.

Lions and Cheetahs

Amboseli also supports predators.

Lions may be encountered resting, moving through grasslands or watching potential prey.

Cheetahs also inhabit the ecosystem and may occasionally be seen across more open terrain.

Hyenas and jackals form another important part of the ecosystem.

Predator sightings remain completely natural and cannot be guaranteed.

Your driver-guide will search for wildlife responsibly without disturbing the animals.

Lunch and Afternoon Game Drive

Proceed to your confirmed safari lodge or tented camp for check-in and lunch.

After lunch, enjoy some time to relax before returning to the park for your afternoon game drive.

The changing afternoon light can transform the landscape.

Elephants may begin moving toward water.

Plains animals become increasingly active as temperatures fall.

Predators may begin changing position.

And if Mount Kilimanjaro has remained hidden earlier, changing cloud conditions may create another opportunity to see the mountain.

Continue your wildlife experience until it is time to return to your accommodation.

Enjoy dinner and your first night in the African wilderness.

Dinner and overnight in Amboseli National Park.

Day 2: Amboseli to Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary & Salt Lick Safari Lodge

Wake up for your second safari day.

Where covered by your confirmed park-entry arrangements, enjoy an early-morning game drive in Amboseli before returning to your lodge or camp for breakfast.

Morning conditions can be particularly rewarding.

The air is cooler.

Animals may be active.

The light can be beautiful for photography.

And there may be another opportunity to see Mount Kilimanjaro.

Your guide will explore appropriate areas according to wildlife movement and the time available.

Breakfast and Departure from Amboseli

Return to your lodge or camp for breakfast.

After breakfast, check out and prepare to continue your journey.

Where permitted within your confirmed park-entry arrangements, wildlife viewing may continue as you make your way toward the park exit.

You then leave Amboseli and begin travelling toward the Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary.

The landscape gradually changes as you move away from the Kilimanjaro ecosystem and toward the Taita region.

Your second safari destination offers a very different experience.

Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary

Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary forms part of the wider wildlife landscape of southeastern Kenya.

The sanctuary provides habitat for elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, predators and numerous bird species.

Unlike the open plains associated with Amboseli, the Taita landscape creates a different safari atmosphere.

Your professional driver-guide will search appropriate areas while interpreting the animals and habitat around you.

Possible sightings may include:

• African elephants
• Buffaloes
• Giraffes
• Zebras
• Antelopes
• Lions
• Hyenas
• Warthogs
• Baboons
• Numerous bird species

As always, wildlife moves freely and specific sightings cannot be guaranteed.

The Salt Lick Safari Lodge Experience

One of the greatest attractions of this itinerary is your stay at Salt Lick Safari Lodge.

The lodge is unlike conventional safari accommodation.

Its distinctive rooms are raised above the ground on stilts and connected by elevated walkways.

The design gives the property an instantly recognisable appearance while also creating excellent views across the surrounding sanctuary.

But the most exciting feature is the wildlife environment immediately around the lodge.

Waterholes attract animals from the surrounding sanctuary.

Depending on natural wildlife movements, elephants, buffaloes and other animals may approach the water while guests observe from the lodge.

This means your wildlife experience does not necessarily end when you step out of the Safari Land Cruiser.

You may be relaxing at the lodge and suddenly notice animals approaching the waterhole.

For families, photographers and first-time safari visitors, this can be one of the most memorable parts of the entire journey.

Wildlife Viewing from Salt Lick

Watching wildlife from the lodge creates a different experience from a traditional game drive.

During a game drive, you travel through the landscape searching for animals.

At Salt Lick, sometimes the animals come toward you.

You can relax while remaining connected to the surrounding wilderness.

Wildlife movements are completely natural, so no particular animal can be guaranteed to visit the waterhole.

But when elephants or buffaloes appear close to the lodge, the experience can be extraordinary.

Afternoon Game Drive in Taita Hills

Later in the afternoon, depart for a game drive within the sanctuary.

Your driver-guide will explore suitable wildlife areas according to current conditions.

The afternoon may provide opportunities to observe elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, antelopes and predators.

The sanctuary also provides excellent opportunities to appreciate the wider landscape rather than concentrating only on individual animal sightings.

As evening approaches, return to Salt Lick Safari Lodge.

Enjoy dinner and your second night on safari.

Even after dinner, keep watching the waterholes.

You never know what may appear.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner and overnight at Salt Lick Safari Lodge or confirmed alternative.

Optional Night Game Drive in Taita Hills

Travellers wanting an additional safari experience may request an optional night game drive in Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary.

A night game drive provides a completely different perspective from conventional daytime wildlife viewing.

Once darkness falls, the atmosphere of the sanctuary changes.

Some animals become more active.

Nocturnal species may emerge.

And familiar wildlife can behave differently from what you observed during the day.

The darkness, sounds of the wilderness and specialised search for nocturnal wildlife create a memorable addition to the safari.

The night game drive is optional, subject to availability and current sanctuary arrangements, and carries an additional cost unless specifically included in your personalised quotation.

Guests interested in this experience should request it when booking so that arrangements can be made in advance.

Day 3: Taita Hills & Salt Lick to Diani Beach, Mombasa or Malindi

Wake up for your final safari morning.

Where included in your confirmed sanctuary arrangements, enjoy an early-morning game drive.

Morning is one of the most atmospheric periods in the African wilderness.

Temperatures are cooler.

The light can be beautiful.

Predators may still be active.

Elephants and plains animals begin another day.

Your guide will explore suitable areas according to wildlife movements and available time.

Your Final Safari Morning

Every safari eventually reaches its final game drive.

But you never know what the last memorable sighting will be.

Perhaps an elephant family will cross the landscape.

Perhaps giraffes will appear against the morning sky.

Perhaps buffaloes will gather near water.

Perhaps a predator will provide an unexpected final highlight.

Or perhaps your last memory will simply be the peaceful Taita Hills landscape.

An authentic wildlife safari never follows a script.

That is part of its appeal.

Breakfast and Check-Out

Return to Salt Lick for breakfast.

After breakfast, check out and begin your journey toward Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast.

Where permitted within your confirmed sanctuary arrangements, enjoy wildlife viewing as you make your way toward the exit.

Eventually, the safari landscape gives way to the road toward the coast.

Your wildlife adventure is coming to an end.

Your beach holiday is about to begin.

Lunch During the Journey

Enjoy lunch at an appropriate restaurant or safari lodge during the journey where this is included in your confirmed safari package.

After lunch, continue toward your final coastal destination.

The scenery gradually changes.

The air becomes warmer and increasingly tropical.

Palm trees begin appearing.

Eventually, the wildlife landscapes of southern Kenya give way to the Indian Ocean coast.

Ending Your Safari in Diani Beach

For travellers continuing to Diani Beach, your driver-guide will transfer you directly to your confirmed beach hotel or resort.

The contrast can be extraordinary.

You may begin the day watching elephants or buffaloes in the Taita Hills landscape.

Later, you arrive beside the Indian Ocean.

Safari roads become white-sand beaches.

Wildlife lodges become tropical beach resorts.

Early-morning game drives become relaxing mornings beside the ocean.

This combination is one of the great attractions of a Kenya safari-and-beach holiday.

Ending Your Safari in Mombasa

If your holiday continues in Mombasa, your driver-guide will transfer you directly to your confirmed hotel.

Arrival time depends on traffic, road conditions, stops during the journey and the location of your accommodation.

Ending Your Safari in Malindi

The safari can also finish in Malindi.

Because Malindi requires additional driving compared with some other coastal destinations, the transfer arrangements and expected arrival time should be confirmed when booking.

Amboseli & Salt Lick – Two Completely Different Safari Experiences

One of the reasons this itinerary works so well is that the two destinations do not feel repetitive.

Amboseli National Park

Amboseli gives you:

• Large elephant herds
• Open plains
• Wetlands
• Lions and other predators
• Abundant plains wildlife
• Outstanding birdlife
• Potential Mount Kilimanjaro views

Taita Hills & Salt Lick

Taita Hills gives you:

• A different wildlife landscape
• Elephants and buffaloes
• Giraffes, zebras and antelopes
• Sanctuary game drives
• The distinctive Salt Lick Safari Lodge
• Wildlife-viewing waterholes
• Optional night game-drive possibilities

Within only three days, you therefore experience both a famous Kenyan national park and a private wildlife sanctuary.

Why Salt Lick Makes This Safari Special

Salt Lick is not simply somewhere to sleep.

The lodge itself forms part of the safari experience.

Its elevated design, surrounding waterholes and close relationship with the wildlife landscape make it one of Kenya’s most recognisable safari lodges.

For travellers who have never been on safari before, watching animals approach the lodge can be extraordinary.

For families, it provides wildlife viewing without requiring children to remain inside a safari vehicle throughout the day.

For photographers, the waterholes can create interesting opportunities for observing wildlife from a different perspective.

For couples and honeymooners, the lodge adds an unusual and memorable accommodation experience to a short safari.

Three Days – Is It Enough?

Yes, provided you want a compact and active safari.

This itinerary is designed for travellers who have only three days available but still want two different wildlife experiences.

You spend:

Night 1 in Amboseli

Night 2 at Salt Lick

and

Day 3 travelling from Taita Hills to the coast.

You will therefore change accommodation after the first night.

For travellers who prefer to remain in one park and lodge for two nights, a focused Amboseli safari may be more suitable.

For travellers who want greater variety, the combination of Amboseli and Salt Lick is an excellent choice.

Is This a Big Five Safari?

This safari provides opportunities to encounter several iconic African wildlife species, including elephants, buffaloes and lions.

However, we do not market a short wildlife itinerary as a guaranteed Big Five experience.

Wildlife moves freely through natural ecosystems.

Leopards can be extremely elusive.

Rhino viewing is not the principal focus of this particular route.

The strongest attractions of this safari are:

Amboseli elephants.

Mount Kilimanjaro landscapes.

Taita Hills wildlife.

Salt Lick Safari Lodge.

Waterhole viewing.

A direct journey to the Kenya coast.

Travellers whose primary objective is specifically to maximise opportunities for all Big Five species may prefer one of our longer multi-park Kenya safari itineraries.

Your Private 4x4 Safari Land Cruiser

Your safari is conducted in a private 4x4 Safari Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof.

The vehicle is reserved exclusively for your booking.

You do not need to share your safari experience with unrelated travellers.

Greater Privacy

Couples, families and friends enjoy the journey together as their own private group.

More Flexibility

Your driver-guide can respond more closely to your wildlife interests within the confirmed itinerary and applicable regulations.

Better Wildlife Viewing

The pop-up roof provides elevated wildlife viewing during game drives where permitted.

Photography Opportunities

Family Convenience

Families can enjoy their safari without coordinating children around unrelated passengers.

Your Professional Safari Driver-Guide

Your professional driver-guide is an important part of the safari experience.

The guide does considerably more than drive between destinations.

They search for wildlife.

They interpret animal behaviour.

They understand safari routes.

They coordinate the daily programme.

They manage the journey from Nairobi through Amboseli and Taita Hills to the coast.

They also help you understand what you are observing.

Tracks can provide clues.

Alarm calls may indicate nearby predators.

Elephant body language can reveal whether an animal is relaxed or uncomfortable.

The behaviour of antelopes and birds can sometimes indicate activity that is not immediately visible.

A good safari guide helps the landscape make sense.

Accommodation During Your Safari

Your safari accommodation can be selected according to your preferred level of comfort and budget.

Amboseli Accommodation

You may choose from quality safari lodges or tented camps offering full-board accommodation and convenient access to the park.

Options can range from comfortable safari properties to luxury and premium accommodation.

Salt Lick Safari Lodge

Salt Lick is the signature Taita Hills accommodation for this itinerary and provides the distinctive elevated-lodge and waterhole experience.

Final accommodation remains subject to availability for your specific travel dates.

Your personalised quotation will clearly state the properties offered before you confirm your safari.

Family Safari with Children

This itinerary can be particularly enjoyable for families.

Amboseli provides exciting elephant sightings and open landscapes.

Salt Lick adds an entirely different experience.

Children may be able to watch animals visiting the waterholes while remaining at the lodge.

The private Safari Land Cruiser also means the family does not have to adapt to unrelated travellers.

Parents can ask questions.

Children can enjoy wildlife at their own pace.

And the family shares the vehicle exclusively.

Travelling with children? Please provide the exact ages of all children when requesting your quotation. Child rates are calculated according to applicable park and sanctuary fees, accommodation policies, room configuration and travel dates.

Nairobi → Amboseli → Salt Lick → 7 Nights Diani Beach

Adventure comes first.

Relaxation follows.

Safari & Beach Holiday Combinations

Best Time for This Safari

Amboseli and Taita Hills can provide rewarding wildlife experiences during different periods of the year.

Seasonal conditions influence vegetation, water availability, wildlife movements and photography.

Drier periods can make some wildlife easier to locate around dependable water sources.

Greener periods can transform the landscapes and create beautiful photographic conditions.

Mount Kilimanjaro visibility depends heavily on day-to-day weather rather than simply the month of travel.

The ideal period therefore depends on your priorities.

These may include:

• Elephants
• Lions and predators
• Kilimanjaro photography
• Salt Lick waterhole viewing
• Family travel
• Honeymoon
• Photography
• Green landscapes
• Accommodation value
• Beach holiday timing
• School holidays

When requesting your safari quotation, tell us your travel dates and what you are most interested in experiencing.

What to Pack

For a short two-night safari, travelling relatively light is recommended.

A soft-sided duffel bag is generally more convenient than a large rigid suitcase.

Useful items include:

• Lightweight safari clothing
• Neutral-coloured clothing
• Comfortable closed shoes
• Light jacket or fleece
• Sun hat
• Sunglasses
• Sunscreen
• Insect repellent
• Personal medication
• Camera
• Binoculars
• Chargers
• Power bank
• Small day bag
• Swimwear for your beach stay

Early mornings can occasionally feel cool, so a light warm layer is useful.
