Situated amidst the lush greenery and diverse landscapes of the sanctuary, Taita Saltlick is renowned for its exceptional concentration of wildlife drawn to its mineral-rich waters.

The name “saltlick” originates from the natural salt deposits found in the area, which are irresistible to a variety of animals seeking essential minerals. This phenomenon creates an extraordinary spectacle as numerous species gather around the saltlick, providing visitors with unparalleled opportunities for wildlife observation and photography.

Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary itself is part of the larger Tsavo West National Park, forming a crucial corridor for wildlife migration between Tsavo East and Tsavo West.

This diversity supports a wide array of wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, zebras, lions, leopards, buffalo, and an abundance of bird species.
