Sala's Camp

Be the first to see the wildebeest migration arrive in Kenya and the last to see it head back to Tanzania at this fabulously located camp.

Enjoy breathtaking scenery and exciting wildlife in traditional safari style.  Each luxury tented camp has been carefully designed to give you the ultimate comfort with spectacular views of the river.

The camp can accommodate fourteen to sixteen people in seven individual canvas tents – perfect for a family holiday. Bring your family to the ultimate African safari as children are very welcome. Each tent is reminiscent of the traditional under-canvas safari, with a pleasing touch of the modern.

All tents have hot showers, flushing toilets and running water. Tents are equipped with shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, mosquito repellent, torches, dressing gowns and a sewing kit.  The honeymoon tent can be used for families accommodating an extra two children.

Unwind on comfy sofas with various engaging books on birds and wildlife. Enjoy a fun board game or just relax in our hammocks and watch the world go by. If you are feeling energetic, join in on one of the occasional friendly games of volleyball by the river, or try exercising on the trampoline.

Enjoy a relaxed pre dinner drink around the fire before making your way to one of the African dinner settings. From formal candlelit tables under the stars, to silver service in a cosy tent, you can truly unwind whilst listening to the tales of real African adventures by your hosts.

We can arrange morning, evening or even full day game drives, setting out at dawn to watch the natural world as it wakes up. A full day drive takes you further afield to different parts of the Mara where a picnic under a Kigalia africana tree (also known as Sausage tree) can be set up.

Discover the Mara’s vast array of birds from the privacy of your tent or as you lounge in one of the hammocks around camp.

Balloon rides are a fun way to view the game and enjoy the expanse of the Mara. It is also an exhilarating way to view the wildebeest migration in action. Balloon rides can be organised in camp or before arrival.

Sala’s camp has the good fortune to be located on the convergence of two rivers, and in the heart of the Masai Mara. This secluded spot, offers tranquillity, and tremendous views over the Sand River towards Tanzania and the Serengeti. From your tents you will be able to enjoy an abundance of birdlife and wildlife and the indigenous environment. The camp prides itself on its hospitality, and from this wonderful location one can easily explore the vast Masai Mara Reserve.

During the Great Wildebeest Migration in the months of July to September, Sala’s Camp is extremely well located as many of the animals move back from the Serengeti in search of lush grasslands in the Mara. The game viewing during this time is exceptional, with dramatic river crossings, and plentiful predators.
