| Property description: |
Sarova Salt Lick Game Lodge is located in the heart of the Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary and is a truly unique architectural concept consisting of 96 distinctively luxurious oval-shaped rooms- overlooking a waterhole which attracts a large array of wildlife- especially elephants. In the evenings the animals gather at the waterhole - a spectacular site to behold- to drink at the watering hole.
The restaurant - which serves international and local cuisine - and terraced bar command spectacular views of the waterhole and surrounding grasslands. Elephant- buffalo and a variety of plains game can be seen throughout much of the year. The area is illuminated by floodlights to facilitate game viewing at night- and there is an underground tunnel and chamber allowing guests to closely and safely view wildlife at ground level.
The Sanctuary offers many diverse opportunities for guests to experience the unique flora- fauna and culture of this fascinating ecosystem. Night game drives provide guests with an opportunity of seeing animals not usually encountered on a daytime game drive.
Take a nature walk with qualified guides; enjoy a bush dinner or breakfast- champagne sundowner at Kudu Point or visit local communities and experience their culture. Night game drives are available conducted by our highly trained rangers giving an opportunity to observe some species not seen during daytime game drives. |

2- Nature Trail
Adopted as one of the tourist recreation at the Taita Hills Resort- the trail needs to be established in a meticulous manner which will incorporate distinct and important botanical- geographical features and capture diverse avian habitats/ roosting areas which will form the basis of the educational tour. Bird watching- insect termite ecology will be an integral part of the nature walk.
3- Game Drives
The best times for viewing wildlife are early morning and mid to late afternoon. Light conditions at these times are also optimal for photography. The Sanctuary also offers a unique and unobtrusive facility for viewing wildlife from a different perspective in this area - night game drives. Since almost 40pct of the wildlife species at Taita are nocturnal- night game drives provide guests with an opportunity of seeing animals not normally encountered on a conventional game drive such as spotted and striped hyena- various species of mongoose- jackal- civet- genet- honey badger- porcupine and bush baby. Since most of our predators are also more active at night- the chances of encountering them on such a trip are also increased. |
