The Taita Hills Wildlife Conservancy consists of 28,000 Acres and is a vital component of the Eastern Arc forests designated as a biodiversity hotspot. It takes its name from the clusters of hills that surround it. The reserve protects 28,000 acres of a mosaic environment with riverine forest, savanna wood, and grassland as the dominant plant physiognomy. In damp places, like the middle lowlands of the sanctuary, the vegetation may appear to be evergreen but is typically thick, stratified, and dominated by Acacia/Commiphora trees. The sanctuary crosses across Southern Tsavo West National Park and serves as a crucial animal dispersal and migration route between Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Parks, making it a highly prized tourist destination and ecologically significant.

The wilds of Taita hills are dreamlands of timeless beauty, with open spaces, characterized by fresh air, and starlit nights. Considered as one of Kenya’s most successful wildlife conservation site with an abundance of wildlife and conservation initiatives focussed on preservation and Eco-tourism.

With a seasonal river dividing the sanctuary between valleys and lowland plains, the geography is typically rugged and provides breathtaking scenic views of Kilimanjaro, Pare, Uluguru, and clusters of Taita Hills.
