Day 5 & 6: Sala's Camp - Masai Mara

Program

After breakfast you will be driven to Nanyuki to catch your flight to the Masai Mara and then head straight to Sala’s Camp, with a small game drive en-route.

Site

Sala’s Camp is situated in the relatively unvisited southern area of the Mara, very near the border of the Serengeti in Tanzania. It is here that the great herds of wildebeest first migrate into Kenya at the begining of July each year in search of better grazing.

Accommodation

The camp offers a traditional safari-under-canvas experience. Having started as a mobile safari operation, the true sense of an opulent mobile safari operation still exists in the camp, and offers a taste of early pioneering days. Each of the tents is spacious, with olive wood beds and en suite canvas bathrooms that have flushing toilets and hot showers, and outside each tent is a private hammock perfect for relaxing and afternoon siestas. read more

Experience

Explore the Masai Mara on our spectacular game drives arranged early in the morning and late in the evening when the animals are most active. Or book a bush lunch, take some binoculars and go further afield to find the wildlife in some of the most remote corners of the Masai Mara. Play volleyball in the river bed or just relax and enjoy the view from the hammock outside your tents. We can also arrange an evening drive accompanied by sundowners, a nice way to end the day.
