Sala’s Camp enjoys the privilege of being the first Mara property to welcome the spectacle that is the annual wildebeest migration. This season the gnus arrived early and in earnest, crossing the Tanzanian border in front of the camp in huge, vocal numbers. The timing of the wildebeests’ arrival could not be more fitting as Sala’s re-opens to welcome its first guests of the season with a new look befitting one of the world’s most astounding natural phenomena. While still embracing the traditional ‘under-canvas’ safari camp, Sala’s has also incorporated contemporary elements like glass doors and plunge pools, lending just the right amount of modern luxury to what remains an authentic safari feel.

In October 2016, The Safari Collection was involved in the travel industries first-ever Sustainable Mega Familiarisation trip. We hosted eight leading travel experts from around the globe at our properties. The trip was stitched together to allow the travel experts to become intimately acquainted with the pillars of sustainable tourism in Africa; conservation of natural resources and wildlife, involvement and development of local communities, and commercial sustainability of authentic experiences. This video describes what makes The Safari Collection portfolio stand out from the crowd in both experiences and sustainability and why staying at all of our four properties will give you the most epic safari of a life time.

Our Christmas video for 2016 has been recorded in Kenya by Kenyan musician Maia Von Lekow. We are also giving a contribution to our sustainability fund on behalf of every guest staying with us this Christmas Season. Thank you for helping us keep the spirit of Christmas giving alive all year round!

We are making a splash with our new plunge pools at Sala’s Camp! Here is a short clip of the team having a silly but absolutely splashing time! As of 1st December each of our seven tents now enjoy private plunge pools with a spacious deck overlooking the Sand River and rolling hills of the northern Serengeti. This new pool side paradise is the perfect place to unwind and relax after the excitement of your day’s game drive. Cool off with a refreshing cocktail and dip your toes whilst watching the wonders of the Masai Mara pass by.

The season of giving is upon us and we are feeling privileged and excited to welcome our guests and give them the magical and unmatched gift of a journey to Kenya this Christmas. With only 10 sleeps to go until the big day, Christmas preparations are underway with decorations being hung, fridges filled and presents wrapped. As we wrap up the year and reflect on 2017 we would like to pass on a heartfelt thank you to all of those that have come on safari with us this year and for giving us the greatest gift of all… the gift of your journey. Every safari gives us the ability to do many wonderful things like supporting vital wildlife conservation, local communities and education projects. Over the past few months The Safari Collection team have been busy creating a Christmas video with a life size emoji box representing the gift of your journey and the people it brings joy to along the way. Working with Maia Von Lekow and her African version of 'Jingle Bells' we hope that this short, fun film will bring a smile to your face and some Christmas cheer to your heart! Thank you for the gift of your journey, the most meaningful gift that you can give!

Sala’s Camp is one of the top locations in Kenya (and even Africa) to see the endangered pangolin which is perhaps the most unusual and elusive creature to see whilst on safari. We are incredibly lucky as once a month we have seen one of these very rare and retiring nocturnal creatures close to Sala's Camp.

The beautiful Sala’s Camp with its seven luxury tents and idyllic location offers a once in a lifetime experience for travellers. This remarkable place delivers a clever mix of the traditional and the comfortable, and is renowned for combining an authentic safari experience with hospitality and fine dining. Sala’s enjoys the privilege of being one of the first Masai Mara properties to welcome the spectacle that is the annual wildebeest migration.

This festive season, nothing is more precious than the special time spent together with loved ones. The most priceless gift of all this Christmas is the ‘gift of experience’; a time for sharing, cherishing and deepening family bonds. This year, we are excited to share The Safari Collection’s very own version of our favourite festive poem, which captures the magic of an exciting family adventure through a child’s eyes on safari. We hope that it makes your spirits soar and inspires you to cherish the ‘gift of experience’ with your friends and family this Christmas. From all of us here at The Safari Collection, we wish you a magical, memorable festive season with your loved ones.

The Safari Collection's Lion King Safari trailer captures the magic of Kenya’s real ‘circle of life’. This trailer is a taster of our privately led Lion King Adventure that will throw you into close encounters with all of the ‘real’ characters from the film and enable you to experience the magic and majesty of the breath-taking African Savannah which inspired Disney.
