Location
Sala’s camp is located at the convergence of the Sand and Keekorok Rivers, in the heart of the Masai Mara. It is perfectly situated as the first Mara property to welcome the annual wildebeest migration, from July to September, when over a million gnus pour into the Masai Mara from the Serengeti.
By road it is four hour drive from Nairobi to Narok Road, then towards Sekenani gate, past Keekorok and on towards Roan Hill.
