Sala's Camp has been welcoming visitors to the Maasai Mara Game Reserve since 2004. Sala’s Camp is situated in the southern corner of the Maasai Mara, where the Sand River and Teekorok River converge. The location of the camp makes it the ideal place to experience the thunder of the annual migration, as it is the first port of call for wildebeest and zebra travelling from the Serengeti deeper into the Maasai Mara.

Each of the seven very spacious tents boasts an en-suite bathroom, bathtub, indoor shower and private plunge pool. Two of the tents are reserved for families comprising a maximum two adults and two children. Sala's Camp is very child friendly and offers a special programme for kids.

Guests fly in a small aircraft from Nairobi Wilson to the Keekorok Airstrip. The drive from here to the camp then takes about 30 minutes. The flight time from Nairobi Wilson is about 45 minutes.

The Maasai Mara abuts the Serengeti to the north to form the border with Tanzania. The reserve covers an area of approx. 1'510 km² and receives water via the Sand River, the Talek River and, of course, the Mara River.

The Maasai Mara is home to one of the highest concentrations of big cat in Africa and more than 50 species of raptor. Lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena, buffalo and elephant are high on the must-see list of most visitors here, and it is indeed the most likely place to get a snapshot of all of them.

Additionally, July sees the arrival of the first ca. two million wildebeest, zebra and Thompson’s gazelle that migrate from the Serengeti to feast on the fresh green grass of the Maasai Mara. They remain until September, when they make their way south again towards the Serengeti. The animals traverse the Mara River, where hungry crocodiles lie in wait for their prey, a spectacle known as ‘river crossings’.

Game drives, balloon flights (additional costs).

The southern bridge over the Mara River means that game drives are possible in both the actual reserve and in the Mara Triangle.
