Paul United Kingdom

It was the best of all the meals, i woke up famished and always looked forward to taking the Masala tea and waffles and eggs among other things

Millie Kenya

Amazing close encounters with wildlife - extraordinary location. Food was diverse and catered for vegetarians. Friendly and welcoming staff members. Reception staff at Salt Lick worked hard to solve problems which we felt had been created by Taita Hills Management. Great service from game drivers. Lovely walk with rangers.
