Getting There
-
Car
From Taita Hills, start by heading towards the A14 highway. If you're in a specific town like Voi or Mwatate, you can join the A14 directly. Drive along the A14 heading west for approximately 30 kilometers. Look for the sign for Chala, which is a small town located on the road connecting to the Rhino Sanctuary. Turn onto the road leading to Chala and continue for about 10 kilometers. You will find signs directing you to the Rhino Sanctuary. There may be a small entry fee for the sanctuary, so keep some cash ready.
-
Public Transport
To reach the Rhino Sanctuary via public transport, you can take a matatu (shared taxi) from major towns like Voi or Mwatate. Look for a matatu that is headed towards Chala. The fare is usually around 100-200 Kenyan Shillings. Once you arrive in Chala, you may need to hire a boda boda (motorcycle taxi) to take you the last 10 kilometers to the Rhino Sanctuary. This should cost about 200-300 Kenyan Shillings. Ensure you discuss the fare before starting the ride.
-
Private Taxi
If you prefer a more direct route, consider hiring a private taxi from Taita Hills directly to the Rhino Sanctuary.

The taxi will take you directly to the sanctuary, making the journey hassle-free and comfortable.
