At a glance

One of the happiest moments on this Kenya safari is spending the night at Salt Lick Game Lodge, a luxurious safari escape set in the heart of the Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary. It overlooks a waterhole and the vast Tsavo plains. Covering an area of 100 sq km, the landscape is dramatic, and all the plains wildlife is here in abundance. Visiting offers a good mix of beautiful landscapes, excellent birdwatching, and decent mammal populations. Nothing is guaranteed here, but lions and elephants are frequently sighted.
