The Salt Lick Game Sanctuary is privately owned by the Hilton Hotel Group. Once a sisal plantation, Salt Lick is now a successful animal sanctuary with abundant game. Most of what you find in Tsavo West, you will also find here.
There are two luxury lodges and a luxury camp in the sanctuary all run by Hilton Hotels. The best known is the slightly fantastic Salt Lick Lodge, which is a village on stilts linked by suspended walkways under which elephants potter. A drawbridge is the link to the rest of the world.
The salt lick and water hole attract a great number of animals, especially in the dry season. The neighbouring Taita Hills Lodge resembles a Germanic fortress and the architecture of both may or may not appeal, but the game spotting is great.
