Where to stay

Rooms are limited at Taita — so book early. There are 52 rooms available at Taita Hills, with plenty of space at Salt Lick Safari Lodge for overflow. Book as soon as you can to guarantee your room at Taita — note that Salt Lick is more expensive, and the $40/day park fee (see below) is mandatory there.

Park fees. If you plan to go on Safari in Tsavo, or if you're staying at Salt Lick, mandatory park fees apply: $40 per person, per day, for foreigners. Taita Hills is just outside the park, so park fees are not mandatory if you're staying and celebrating there.

Primary Venue

Taita Hills Safari Resort & Spa

Wedding venue accommodation

This is where the wedding will take place and where many guests may choose to stay.

• We encourage guests to arrive on Sunday, June 13 — likely on the afternoon train.
• If you'd prefer, you can travel down to Taita on the morning of Monday, June 14, arriving by midday, before celebrations start.

Don't worry, Salt Lick is just 15 minutes down the road if rooms at Taita fill up!

Decide what suits you best: if travelling down on the 13th, book 3 nights; otherwise, book 2 nights. We'd encourage booking soon, as rooms will fill up (a nearby alternative is available — see below).
