Salt Lick Safari Lodge – Kenya’s Iconic Stilted Lodge Overlooking Wildlife
Set within the private Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, Salt Lick Safari Lodge is one of Kenya’s most unique and photographed safari lodges. Elevated on stilts above a series of natural waterholes, the lodge offers a truly immersive wildlife experience where animals gather just meters below your room.
This architectural masterpiece blends seamlessly into its surroundings, allowing guests to enjoy uninterrupted views of elephants, buffalo, antelope, and other wildlife that frequent the waterholes throughout the day and night. The sanctuary itself is rich in biodiversity and offers a more exclusive and less crowded safari experience compared to larger parks.
Salt Lick is perfect for travelers seeking something different—a lodge where the safari never stops, even while relaxing in your room or dining area.

The lodge features uniquely designed elevated rooms connected by suspended walkways:
- Comfortable rooms with king or twin bed configurations

Every room offers a front-row seat to wildlife activity, making it one of the few places where you can watch elephants drink from your balcony.
