Salt Lick & Taita Hills Game Lodge 1978



Salt Lick Lodge is a unique lodge built atop stilts overlooking a waterhole. It is linked by suspended walkways under which elephants potter. Its name is taken from its setting - a natural salt lick which was a congregating place for the neighborhood's salt-hungry residents. The lodge lies on the outskirts of Tsavo West National Park. The sanctuary where the Salt Lick Lodge is located was once a sisal plantation. it is now a successful animal sanctuary with abundant game.

Taita Hills is adjacent to Tsavo National Park, one of the world's largest game reserves, the Taita Hills Hilton Safari Lodge is a five hour drive from Nairobi, three hours from Mombasa and 45 minutes from Voi Railway Station. The Lodge has its own wildlife sanctuary. They also have a great lunch
