Salt Lick Lodge, in the Taita Hills between Tsavo East and Tsavo West, is known for stilted, tower-style rooms built around a floodlit waterhole that draws elephant and buffalo after dark \u2014 often visible without leaving your room. This two-day safari pairs a full day of Tsavo East game drives with a night at Salt Lick or a comparable Taita Hills lodge, giving you both open-plains game viewing and a distinctive overnight wildlife experience.<\/p>\n
Day one covers Tsavo East’s red-earth plains, with the Galana River and Lugard Falls included where the route allows, before continuing to the lodge in the late afternoon in time to settle in before dusk at the waterhole. Day two is a more relaxed morning at the lodge \u2014 often with wildlife still visible from the grounds \u2014 before the drive back to the coast.<\/p>\n
The lodge’s design means game viewing continues after the day’s drives are over, which suits travellers who want more time with wildlife without a longer safari. Photography from the rooms and public areas is genuinely rewarding after dark, when the floodlights are on.<\/p>\n
The price shown is a guide per adult sharing a twin room, based on Salt Lick or a similar Taita Hills property, full board. Lodge choice, room type and season affect the final quote, confirmed before payment. Wildlife at the waterhole is genuinely wild and varies night to night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
