Nowhere in the world can one live more luxuriously while viewing a rich concentration of wildlife. Salt Lick is like nothing you have ever experienced. The lodge is a complex of towers, roofed in typical African thatch and perched atop stilts, with interconnecting, bridge-like walkways. Its name is taken from its setting - a natural salt lick which is a congregating place for the neighborhood�s salt-hungry resident game. There are elephants and their trailing young; numerous species of graceful antelope; the skyscraping giraffe; even, upon frequent occasion, the proud, magnificent lion. They are all more preoccupied with the salt-flavored earth and adjacent water holes than with you, above. You take in the scene from the broad open terrace over afternoon tea and scones, the cocktail lounge or, for that matter, the restaurant as you enjoy a candle-lit dinner with vintage wines. Or you may wish to relax around the swimming pool during the afternoon. At Salt Lick you will find large, comfortable rooms and you may look out of your bedroom window and perhaps spot a baboon, a giraffe or an impala. Salt Lick affords game viewing not only from on high, but from a specially constructed, secure, ground-level bunker, from where you may photograph the animals between the steel bars of the bunker�s window. You�ll find yourself staying up late into the night, for the fun part of safari is the friends you make as well as the animals you spot.
