The said "salts" are quite common places in forests near water places,arid and semi-arid areas.....Years back,it was common to go herding and encounter other wild herbivorous (Mostly elephants and buffalos) sharing the licking places with goats and sheep.The name for such places in my lugha is "Munyu".....and so it's true,goats from this area and given that they feed on lots of herbs,have more healthier and tastier meat than the Nairobi goats.
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
