Subjects : African wildlife in general. Being a "corridor" between Tsavo East and Tsavo West you can see large herds of elephants and buffalo that transmigrate. Abundant bird life is settled that passage with a strong presence of birds of prey such as eagles rapax, crested eagles, hawks juggler, hawks, goshawks. Excellent subjects of small size, cuckoos, kingfishers, shrikes, the rare "Barbet of Arnaux" and copious altri.Non the presence of predators, but in any case I was able to see them all including leopard. The special feature is that you can portray very well ambientati being the hilly landscape with great photos of atmosphere at sunrise and sunset.

Recommended equipment : All optics can be useful, wide-angle for landscapes, animals ambientati to medium telephoto lenses and long for the birds.

Best months : To avoid the rainy season from April to July. Particular the period from October to November with little rain in the morning when you can photograph herds in the fog, and great landscapes full of light, color and atmosphere.

How to get there : Take the highway from Mombasa to Nairobi to arrive at the town of Voi after covering 175km. in 2.5 h., then turn left on the road to Tsavo West. Routes 45 km in about 45 minutes on the left will take you to the reserve. The Km from Nairobi to you are 328 and you have to be prepared for 4 hours of travel.

Visits : Taita Hills is a private reserve where there are only two structures, a quaint lodge on stilts with underlying pool where animals are watered and a small tented camp in the hills. The cost of the game drive which includes entrance to the reserve being very small takes one or two nights stay.
