Why clients love Salt Lick & Taita Hills

  • Elephants and buffalo within metres of your balcony
  • Game drives in the Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary
  • Easy overnight add-on to Tsavo East

Common questions

Is the Salt Lick lodge comfortable?

Yes — it's one of the most photographed lodges in Kenya, with en-suite rooms and full-board meals. The waterhole view from your room is the main attraction.

Can we add Salt Lick to a longer safari?

Absolutely. It's included in our 5-day Tsavo, Amboseli & Taita Hills safari, and we can add it to any Tsavo itinerary.
