Overview
One of Kenya's most unique safari experiences at the iconic Salt Lick Safari Lodge: a series of elevated circular rondavels built on stilts above a waterhole in the Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, where elephants, buffalos, lions and a procession of nocturnal wildlife gather directly beneath your room each night. Just a short transfer from Nairobi or Mombasa, this is Kenya's most intimate wildlife encounter.
Trip Highlights
Salt Lick Lodge: built above a waterhole where elephants gather under floodlights each evening
Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary: elephant, lion, cheetah, buffalo and leopard
Heritage WW1 tour at Taita Hills Museum
Evening game drive and swimming at Taita Hills Safari Resort
Scenic Mombasa–Nairobi Highway approach through dramatic Taita Hills landscapes
Optional SGR train package from Nairobi to Voi
Day-by-Day Itinerary
Your driver picks you up from your Nairobi hotel or Mombasa residence and transfers you to the Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary via the Nairobi–Mombasa Highway. Arrive in time for lunch at Taita Hills Safari Lodge. After lunch, enjoy a relaxed afternoon before an evening game drive through the sanctuary. Then proceed to Salt Lick Safari Lodge for check-in and dinner. As night falls, the floodlit waterhole beneath your stilted rondavel begins to come alive: elephants, buffalo and a stream of nocturnal visitors come to drink directly beneath the lodge.
