This is a much better hotel than the Sarova Taita Hills, which is 7km closer to the main road - better food, rooms, location. For the one night I stayed (Feb 2012) there were lots of both elephants and buffalo at the watering hole in front of the restaurant. Good value if paying resident rates. More

My daughter and I stayed here during our 3 day safari in Tsavo East and West during January 2012. Our first sight of the magical Salt Lick Game Lodge was on a bend in the road on our way to it. All we could say was Wow! Nathan, our brilliant driver, stopped to let us have a look and take... More

Travelled to Salt Lick in 1993 with my husband and I have just been back in 2011 with my son (16). Unfortunately after 3 days on safari in the Masia Mara my younger daughter just want'd to chill out at the hotel pool in Bambury so my husband stayed with her while I revisited Tsavo. The safari was a replica... More

Salt Lick is an amazing experience, from the hidden serene bush location overlooking Taita Hills, unique design, the service to the game drives the 2 nights stay there was worthwhile and the staff are very welcoming. I would remain awake at night just watching the various animals come the watering hole! Have never been so close to elephants and buffaloes!... More

Just back from a long safari and stayed one night in Salt Lick Game Lodge. The odd construction in the most unlikely environment was simply magic to my eyes. Stayed until late taking pictures from the veranda and went back there to see the sunrise. The views of the mist in the horizon, the elephants, buffalos all around, are simply... More

We are a Kenyan couple from Mombasa and we never thought that we would be so close to such an awesome, serene and relaxing experience. Salt Lick is located right inside the taita hills game reserve; the road from Voi town is however horrible, but the hotels makes it worth every single bit of rattle. The room design creates a...

We are just back from our trip to Kenya....we did a 4 day safari with Pollmans Tours (booked via First Choice). We upgraded our safari accommodation and stayed at the Salt Lick Lodge on the last evening. It is right in the middle of the reserve and animals were plenty. The rooms were on stilts and elephant, zebra and baboons... More

We stayed here on the final night of our safari and we were not disappointed. All the staff were attentive and helpful. The food was very good and the lodge was always well present. The views were breath taking and being above a waterhole looking down on the animals was a truly magical sight to remember for the rest of... More
