AMBOSELI NATIONAL PARK
The snows of Kilimanjaro, white and crystalline, form a majestic backdrop to one of Kenya’s most spectacular displays of wildlife – lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, cheetah, buffalo and hosts of plains’ game, creating Kenya’s most sought after photographer’s paradise.
But the Park’s popularity is also causing serious concern. The combination of wildlife, tourist vehicles and Maasai cattle are destroying the delicate but precious grassland. Park rules now insist that vehicles stick to roads and tracks. The Park’s best game runs are around the swamps and there is a fine lookout on Observation Hill which offers views over the whole of the Park and beyond.
Salt Lick Safari Lodge is built on top of stilts overlooking a waterhole located in the heart of private game sanctuary adjacent to Tsavo National Park. it is one of the largest game reserves in the heart of a private game sanctuary. Flanked by the craggy Taita Hills, the park offers a safe haven for a wide variety of animals and birds in a compact area of natural beauty.
The food and service are very good with meals taken in a central restaurant. The waterhole is floodlit during the night to allow viewing of the animals as they come to drink.
