Salt Lick Safari Lodge

Can not say enough good things about both this lodge and the Taita Hills sister Lodge. Rooms were perfect, staff were amazing and food was everything you needed. During safari we were able to see 4 of the big 5 as well as different types of birds, antelope and zebra. Want to do a special shout out to a gentleman called Faraj who was part of the hospitality staff and the most attentive host I have ever experienced. He provided information and recommendations on local foods to try, times to see animals and even went out of his way to try and find us a Mancala board to play after dinner. Cannot recommend enough, must go.

We enjoyed our stay at saltlick and we traveled as a couple what a nice place beautiful views and the hotel was nice we were glad to meet our waitress Rose she was very nice and kind to us we will surely visit again see you then! We are very happy ! Thanks!

Thank you to all the staff at Salt Lick and Taita Hills Lodge who were exceptionally attentive and professional. Don’t miss the WW1 museum, Donart guided us through and was very knowledgeable. Tree planting is also not to miss and was thoughtfully coordinated by Felicita, Margaret, and Brian, and James even helped me with the planting. Meals are varied and cater to all tastes, the Biryani and freshly made chapati were my favourite menu items. Thank you to the chefs.

Absolutely awful with the exception of the game drives that were excellent and the views from the room. Hotel is diabolical. A cockroach IN the food, money stolen from our room, no phones in the room so if you have any kind of issue you have to go to reception which is a fair walk if you get one of the lower number rooms. Internet is limited. Apparently all inclusive which basically means a poor selection of breakfast lunch and dinner with one small bottle of water each. Extra water is charged, tea and coffee served for a limited time. Would I stay here again. Definately not. If you do deceive to come here make sure you check the food you eat and lock away your cash and valuables.

The place is amazing. We stayed here for a one night stop over during safari and all 6 of us wished we had stayed here there full 3 nights. The place is so quirky but not only that I could not fault anything. The staff are amazing and would do anything on request. The place is immaculate and we were probably the closest to most of the animals we saw on safari than when we were on the jeep, due to the little stream running along side reception or the underground tunnel. I rate this place 11 out of 10 and highly recommend.

We arrived at Taita Hill to book in and were met by a young Masai gentleman with the biggest smile and warmest greeting with hot towels to refresh....and we knew we home. After an amazing lunch we went to Salt Lick . All I can say is WOW. What an amazing bucket list experience. The staff are so warm and friendly, they really are an amazing asset. The accommodation was mind blowing and the elephant and animal experience is a real close encounter. Amazing food and service every day. Thank you.
