Excellent location and super surroundings. we stayed here for two nights on our first safari experience in April 2012! The journey there was unforgetable we had to travel down a road for 30mins known as the "Bone shaker" to the locals (it was certainly as its name implies) on arrival we were greeted by many elands just in the entrance...

On arrival we were greeted with a lovely cool flannel and cold tropical drink, very welcome after a long drive to the resort. Friendly staff and reception area is stunning, rooms are clean and tidy, fully equipped with tea making facilities and hairdryer etc. our sons mosquito net feel down when we tried to open it, informed reception and they...

After 6 days safari, our last lodge was the Sarova Taita Hills Game lodge. After a lengthy drive over the Tanzania/Kenyan border at Taveta, we went onwards to this desperately needed watering hole. We arrived in the late afternoon and after checking in went to the bar for our rewards. Beer in hand, we took a walk outside to find... More

The lodge was perfectly located for an overnight stop for our family when we were on the way from the Kenyan coast to Tanzania. The dinning room and lounge area looked like it had been refurbed. The swimming pool was a welcome distraction for the kids and the animal sanctury an easy safari length with elephants sighted, along with a... More

This was our first stop on our Kenya Tanzania safari, and I’m glad it wasn't the last night. We had booked our safari as part of the Thomson/First Choice package hence had no choice of lodges. (Plus we had changes to elements of the itinerary at the last minute). We arrived in time for lunch to a crowded restaurant with... More

We arrived at Taita Hills for our stay at the Saltlick with the floodlit watering hole. Except we didn’t as we’d been changed to the cheaper Sarova Game Lodge just down the road instead. To say we were gutted would be an understatement as we’d been sold on the Saltlick as a unique hotel, but concentrating on this hotel it’s... More

The Sarova Taita Hills is fine but the Salt Lick, also in the Sarova chain, is 7km away and is a better hotel in every way. For some reason the Salt Lick was also cheaper on a resident rate. More

Lovely peaceful setting – rooms looked out over the reserve and animal watering hole which was just the other side of the swimming pool. Comfy room, with extra pillows, safe, tea and coffee making facilities, though had to get a kettle from reception. Free tea and coffee was provided all day in the hotel foyer. Good shop with postcards, stamps,... More

We only stayed one night at this hotel and to be honest that was enough. The room we were given was a triple and had a view of a tree and the back area of the hotel, lots of crashing bottles and bins. The toilet didn't work and we had to get a guy to fix it twice, the bath... More

Whilst on a three day Safari we stayed in this lodge for 1 night. The only negative I can say was that the facilities are a little dated and we had to tell reception that our toilet was broken a couple of times before getting it fixed but the rest of our experience was great. The lodge accommodated three girls... More
