Salt Lick Safari Lodge is one of Kenya’s most iconic safari lodges, located in the private Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary near Tsavo West National Park. The lodge is uniquely built on stilts overlooking a busy waterhole and salt lick, attracting a wide variety of wildlife including elephants, buffalo, antelope, and occasionally lions.

Guests enjoy comfortable rooms with private balconies that offer uninterrupted views of animals visiting both day and night. The lodge is connected by elevated walkways, giving it a distinctive architectural design and a true “above-the-wild” experience.
