Framing the vast plains of Tsavo, and lying within view of majestic Mt
Kilimanjaro, are the Taita and Chyulu Hills.
 The
Chyulu hills are considered to be some of the youngest volcanic
mountains in the world, born out of the earth only 500 years ago.
The beautiful hills are bordered by an expanse of black lava flow known
as Sheitani, the source of many local legends.
This is a paradise of elephant herds, plains game, cheetah, remote
Maasai villages and wonderful views of Mt Kilimanjaro.
Close to Tsavo East, the nearby Taita Hills are home to a private game
sanctuary, with a wide variety of game including Lion, cheetah, elephant
and plains game. Prolific bird life includes the extremely rare Taita
Falcon, a bird recorded in early Egyptian hieroglyphics.The Taita are in
fact three groups of hills, the Dabida, Sagalla and Kasigau.
In nearby Taveta, there are two beautiful lakes Jipe and Chala,
fed by streams from the snows of Kilimanjaro. Chala is particularly
stunning, and its deep blue waters lie beneath a perfect view of
Kilimanjaro.
This region is more remote than the more visited parks and reserves of
southern Kenya, the perfect destination looking for anyone looking for
an opportunity to get away from it all and relax in the wild.....
