Salt Lick Game Lodge

Sarova Salt Lick Game Lodge is located within the Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, a private wildlife conservancy spanning 28,000 acres at the base of the Taita Hills, adjacent to Tsavo West National Park. The lodge is elevated on stilts above watering holes and feeding pastures, providing a breathtaking view of the wildlife from above and all around.

Each room at Sarova Salt Lick Game Lodge features an en-suite bathroom with a permanent shower and WC, running hot and cold water, and 240 volts power. Rooms are available on two levels with double, twin, or triple beds, depending on the room type. All rooms offer views of the watering holes.

The main restaurant at Sarova Salt Lick Game Lodge overlooks the watering holes and serves buffet-style breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with live cooking stations preparing specialty dishes. The cuisine includes pan-African, pan-European, and pan-Asian options.

At night, the waterholes are illuminated, allowing guests to enjoy an uninterrupted view of the many animals arriving to quench their thirst. The elevated restaurant and the bar, located a level higher, also offer stunning views of the sanctuary and are ideal vantage points for game viewing.

Activities at Sarova Salt Lick Game Lodge include game viewing, early morning and late afternoon game drives. The waterholes below provide an excellent opportunity to observe animals up close in their natural habitat. An underground tunnel and bunker with ground-level windows offer incredibly close yet safe access to a variety of animals as they drink.

Ngulia Safari Lodge

Ngulia Safari Lodge is spectacularly situated on the edge of the Ndewe Escarpment, just below Ngulia Hills, overlooking the Rhino Sanctuary. It is surrounded by scenic hills and offers a vast panorama of Tsavo West National Park’s sweeping plains.

Ngulia Safari Lodge features 52 rooms with bath and shower facilities and a balcony offering views of the vast wilderness and floodlit water holes. The main restaurant is designed in an open-air style and overlooks the floodlit water holes and the Leopard dining tree. The lodge’s Leopard view bar opens in the evenings before the leopard arrives from the wilderness.

Guests can cool off in the lodge’s pool during the heat of the day. At night, the waterhole by the lodge is floodlit, allowing guests to observe nocturnal animals, including the elusive leopard, as they come from the bush to quench their thirst. Game drives to Mzima Springs, the Rhino Sanctuary, and other parts of Tsavo West National Park are available.

Kibo Safari Camp

Kibo Safari Camp is located at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, which, at 5,896 meters, is the highest freestanding mountain in the world and is topped by one-fifth of all the ice in Africa, in the renowned Amboseli National Park, Kenya.

Meaning ‘salty dust’ in Maa, the language of the Maasai, the park is a place of stark contrast. It provides the classic Hollywood image of Africa, set in rolling savannah scenery and dwarfed by the presence of the pink-tinged, snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Kibo Safari Camp is a luxury tented camp within the Amboseli National Reserve. The camp features an open terraced restaurant and bar under acacia trees, overlooking the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro, and a beautifully landscaped swimming pool.

Each tent at Kibo Safari Camp is equipped with a double bed or two single beds, depending on guests’ needs. Family tents can accommodate up to eight people comfortably. There is also a small porch/veranda with seating and a coffee table. All tents are electrically lit by power supplied from an on-site generator.

At Kibo Safari Camp, the focus is on the experience of dining in the wild. Meals are served in a covered restaurant, and drinks are available in a traditional bar, but guests remain close to the action with large, open areas featuring seating and tables. This ensures guests are always immersed in the wild.
