A traditional tented camp, Sala’s Camp stands on the banks of the Sand River, which traverses the southern tip of the Masai Mara Reserve. Located within the boundaries of this famous reserve, the camp is surrounded by wilderness and in close proximity to the main migration corridors of the annual migration of the wilderbeest. Surrounded by indegenous forest, the camp looks south towards the north of the Serengeti, the Tanzanian extension of this natural biosphere. The camp also lies adjacent to a designated Rhino conservation area.

The camp is closed from 15th March - 14th June & 15th October to 14th December.
