Getting There
Located within the Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, bordering Tsavo West National Park, Salt Lick Safari Lodge is one of Kenya's most iconic safari lodges, renowned for its unique stilted design overlooking a busy waterhole frequented by wildlife.
By Air: The fastest and most convenient option is a scheduled flight from Nairobi Wilson Airport to Taita Hills Airstrip (Voi Airstrip), which takes approximately 1 hour. Guests are then transferred to the lodge in a safari vehicle, with the drive taking about 20–30 minutes. Flights are also available from Mombasa, taking approximately 30 minutes.
By Road: Guests can drive from Nairobi via the Nairobi–Mombasa Highway to Voi and Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary. The journey covers approximately 350–400 km and takes around 5–6 hours, depending on traffic and road conditions. From Mombasa, the drive takes approximately 3–4 hours. A 4x4 vehicle is recommended for maximum comfort.
By Train (SGR): Travelers can take the Madaraka Express (SGR) from Nairobi or Mombasa to Voi Station, followed by a road transfer of approximately 45–60 minutes to the lodge. This is a comfortable and scenic alternative to flying or driving.
