Great location

Very good location, nice personal, I recommend you to take a hiking toor

I had Salt Lick for a long time on my bucket list and it exceeded my expectations. What a stunning location in the middle of Tsavo West. Views are breathtaking, and possibility to observe wildlife right from the lodge is unique. They have many staff with warm heart for their guests, manifesting true warm Kenyan hospitality. Elsie the restaurant hostess was very kind and professional, welcoming us in a personal way every time. We did our game drives with Martin who was excellent, very punctual and ensuring we got the best photos. All staff at the restaurant servicing the buffet area are very friendly and hardworking. Victor at the reception was fast and attentive when I needed assistance while not feeling well. The team also made my birthday truly special, with a happy song, delicious cake and a nicely decorated room. I am very grateful and we will come back soon.

To stumble across this little paradise and to be lucky to book it for three nights was one of my best travel decisions ever. It is simply the most special accomodation and nature adventure I ever experienced in Kenya. I will not repeat the details others wrote about the place here, so I'll try to add a bit: Serah is a most beautiful, accomodating, friendly and happy (I think) person and she will do whatever it takes to make you feel "at home". Jay, who guides the nature tours, checks for snakes, brings a coconut for refreshment or just gives you a smile, likewise. Didn't know before that just one bubble exists so far as it's a very yound "resort" (3 more are planned sometime), but being alone amidst the beautiful Taita greens with my partner made it all the better. There's a freezer to keep your food and drinks cool, and a village in 15 minutes walking distance to buy stuff and eat. WiFi worked soso, but if you require Internet being in this place you've lost it anyway I'd state. Spending our time here at dry season and 35+ degrees made it impossible to enter the bubble during daytime (at least I wasn't up for sauna), but all the better during the clear starry nights. As there's close to zero scattered light any astronomy fan will just do the same as I: Stay up all night on the terrasse, or lie awake on the bed admiring the vaastness of universe. The waterfall tour was beautiful and Jay is keen to share his Kenya, Taita and nature knowledge, the strenuous hike uphill the Taita ranges on the next day (joined by Angus) even more fulfilling. 7 hours with those folks (for a ridiculous price that stimulates tips...) and I learned sooo much about the region, it's beautiful and friendly people, and how to best hike at 36 degrees without getting a sunburn. It didn't work :-) I'm still grateful to have spend time with the lot, and in this little special paradise. Asante Serah!

The staff was amazing. The location was incredibile and the food was really good

It was good generally. The food was well prepared.

Rooms are in good shape but overpriced

I was well looked after by the staff on site who were incredibly welcoming and helpful during my stay. My room was clean and very comfortable. I enjoyed breakfast especially the fresh fruits. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends and family when they visit Voi.
