Salt Lick Lodge Hotel is a unique lodge built atop stilts overlooking a waterhole. t is linked by suspended walkways under which elephants potter.

The sanctuary where the Salt Lick Lodge is located was once a sisal plantation. It is now a successful animal sanctuary with abundant game. Both local and international tourists, due to its close proximity to the Indian Ocean and Mombasa town, frequent the lodge.

Tsavo National Park Information
The twin National Parks of Tsavo East and West together form one of Africa’s largest wilderness reserves. Tsavo as a whole consists of 10 million acres of pure wilderness, incorporating savannah, ranges and hills, acacia and montane forest, and an extensive river system. This single National Park is larger than the island of Jamaica.
The main Kenya –Uganda railway crosses the tsavo in the middle thus distinguishing the East from the west. In 1899, the scene of one of Africa’s greatest Adventure stories was this railway, where two large lions actively preyed on the railway workers as they built a bridge over the Tsavo River, claiming over 120 victims.

They evaded hunters for well over a year, which led to the birth of the legend of the Man-eaters of Tsavo.
While on safari here, you shall behold large herds of elephant, lion, Eland, Giraffe Impala, Kudu and possibly Rhinoceros. As a birder’s paradise, numerous species of weavers, hornbills, sunbirds, rollers, and raptors are commonly seen. There are interesting geographical features not to be missed.  The Lugard falls (not true falls but a series of rapids over rock formations) is of particular note.

The natural volcanic mzima springs are alive with Hippopotamus and waterfowl. A unique underwater observatory has been built that gives you an incredible view of this crystal clear underwater world, where massive hippos glide silently through swirling shoals of barbel. The park is host to a number of caves and due to its easy accessibility on foot; visitors can visit these along with the Shetani Lava Flow and the Chaimu Volcanic crater. Plentiful accommodation is available in the park.
