The Lodge was a lovely setting and buffets great for breakfast, lunch and dinner (although we ate too much!) Safari was awe inspiring and we saw so much. This place is made even better because of the amazing staff. They bend over backwards to assist but are also friendly and chatty, making the stay that bit more special. Shout out to Patterson and Rose who looked after us at mealtimes. Their friendliness and attentiveness was appreciated. John was lovely too. The girls at the pool bar ( one named Catherine but didn't clock the other) were so sweet, kind and helpful, they made it a pleasure being down at the poolside. The pool itself is top class. Warm and clean. Also hanging over the edge watching wildlife on the outer reaches was just amazing. Would highly recommend Taita Hills.
Response from Property: Dear JKK28, Thank you so much for your glowing review and for sharing your experience with us. It’s a joy to hear that you enjoyed everything from the delicious buffets to the awe-inspiring safari, and especially the warmth and care of our team. We are incredibly proud of our staff, and I will be sure to pass along your kind words to Patterson, Rose, John, Catherine, and the entire poolside team — your appreciation will mean the world to them. I’m thrilled that you enjoyed our signature heated salty water infinity pool — it’s one of our proudest features! Beyond its inviting warmth and cleanliness, the pool’s mineral-rich waters are perfect for soothing tired muscles after a game drive, while the view over the wildlife sanctuary adds that magical touch you described so beautifully. We’re honored by your recommendation and can’t wait to welcome you back to Taita Hills Safari Resort & Spa in the future. Warm regards, JUDY MWANGI, GENERAL MANAGER

After 2 weeks of loving our time roughing it camping in beautiful locations all around Kenya, we could not believe our eyes when we got to Taita Hills! It has the perfect blend of luxury, serenity, wildlife, amazing staff, FANTASTIC FOOD, and amazing conservation promotion and practices. I truly hope I get the privilege to return again in the future. It was my dad and his partner’s first time in Kenya and Africa and it was amazing they also got to experience their first night safari at Taita Hills. I can’t thank you all for your kindness, hospitality, and passion for the conservation message. Asante sana tena Shedrack (ama “macho”) for your amazing services to us. I can’t wait to be back again. Samantha Gillam
Response from Property: Dear Y414KZsamanthag, Thank you so much for your deeply heartfelt and beautifully written review. It brings us immense joy to know that your transition from camping to Taita Hills Safari Resort & Spa was not just a change of pace but a reminder of the harmony between luxury and nature. Your words truly capture the spirit of what we strive to offer — a sanctuary where guests can reconnect with the natural world without sacrificing comfort. We are especially touched by your appreciation of our conservation efforts — it is a mission we hold close to our hearts, and your recognition means everything to our team. I’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Shedrack (or "Macho" as we fondly call him) — he’ll be thrilled to know he left such a lasting impression. We're equally thrilled that your father and his partner got to enjoy their first African night safari with us. These are the magical moments we live for. And next time you return, we warmly invite you to relax in our heated salty water infinity pool — its mineral-rich warmth not only soothes the body after a long day of adventure but also offers a peaceful space to reflect on the beauty of nature that surrounds us. Asante sana, Samantha — we can’t wait to welcome you back again. Warm regards, JUDY MWANGI, GENERAL MANAGER

The location is beautiful and right next to Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, perfect for peaceful game drives with incredible wildlife sightings. The staff made our stay truly memorable.Mr Patterson, our waiter, was attentive and friendly, and Ms Naomi from guest relations went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable throughout our stay.

Situated in a Private Sanctuary, Taita Hills resortl is the best hotel one can visit,stay and feel like adding more double stays.we arrived with a warm welcome ,the smiles from staff were an indication of a warm home away from home. a.).Spacious Rooms Our room was very clean,spacious,with an african touch making it comfortable for our stay b).Food variety .they have a great variety of food on the buffet to choose from.the chefs were keen to guide us through during the serving and this was amazing tasting and enjoying delicious meals for a foodie like me every food was tasty. c).Therapeutic pool While at the resort enjoy the infinity pool over looking taita Hills with animals grazing lower hill was amazing. d).Extra services Our last dinner before check out was at the salt lick the hotel does transfers for sampling either.having dinner and animals hunting at night was the best memory for my kids. e)Activities They have akids club with an attendant you don't need to watch over them. Game drives on arrangement from the hotel is plus. If you are that conservative person not ready to do agame drive, They also have a Museum at the resort very informative and unique experience. Our holiday has been amazing and very short.we shall be back thank you team taita and salt lick Awesome service great place for holiday.

We arrived at Taita Hills Resort and Spa at 8:30 am, we were swept into a serene escape nestled within the breathtaking Taita Hills. The air was fresh, and the tranquility was unmatched. Victor welcomed us warmly, making check-in seamless and personalized. The spacious, ambient lobby—adorned with a fascinating World War II exhibit featuring relics, attire, and rich historical narratives—immediately sparked our curiosity. The culinary experience was nothing short of delightful. Each meal offered a new and sumptuous twist, catering to every palate. The conference facility was impeccably managed, thanks to Geoffrey’s attentive service and professionalism. Afternoons were spent unwinding by the pool, its warm waters offering the perfect view of the rolling hills beyond. The rooms, naturally designed and immaculately maintained, offered a peaceful retreat each night. Encircled by a conservancy, the hotel provided unforgettable encounters with wildlife. A night visit to the Taita Salt Lick offered a magical view of waterbucks and antelopes grazing under the moonlight. Our stay concluded on a heartwarming note—staff serenading us with farewell songs led by Jonathan Mwanzui and presenting a thoughtful goodbye cake. It was a gesture that truly captured the spirit of Taita Hills Resort: authentic, warm, and unforgettable. I can’t wait to return.

Your special mention of the farewell serenade and the thoughtful goodbye cake led by Jonathan Mwanzui truly warms our hearts. These are the moments we cherish most — when our guests leave not just with great memories, but with a sense of family. We can’t wait to welcome you back for more unforgettable moments in the hills.

Everything was just good, from; The Service, To the Food and Especially the Hospitality. It was also educational with the World War One museum which gave a short but detailed information on the events. Since we were on our honeymoon they prepared the room perfectly for us with an amazing view of the pool side with the jungle. Spacious room and cosy bathroom. All in all everything was on point.
