Sala’s Camp: The Ultimate Migration Vantage Point Nestled in the southern, more secluded reaches of the Masai Mara Reserve, Sala’s Camp sits right on the banks of the Sand River, making it the perfect spot to witness the Great Migration. Here, you don’t just see the migration; you’re right in the thick of it, even if the herds decide to cross the river a bit further afield. The camp exudes understated luxury, with spacious, elegantly furnished tents, each boasting its own plunge pool for a refreshing dip with a view. And the gourmet menu? It’s tailored to your tastes, with chefs happy to whip up whatever your heart desires.

Nine large tents are designed in a safari style – all shades of natural tones, light furniture made of natural leather and wood.
The veranda offers a fantastic view of the surrounding area of the camp. There is something to see here: the camp is located just 50 meters from one of the most important points of the Great Migration – the Talek River. Twice a year, millions of wildebeest and zebras cross the river. You can watch this majestic spectacle while comfortably sitting on your veranda or even without leaving the tent.

Mara Nyika, meaning “Great Plains,” is an intimate camp nestled in a valley alongside a small stream on the western edge of the Naboisho Conservancy, bordering the Maasai Mara. Spend your nights in bright canvas tents under a canopy, gazing out at the endless expanse; after a hot African day, sink into bronze bathtubs brimming with cool, luxurious refreshment. Naboisho, in the Maasai language, means “coming together.” This place represents 500 local landowners who have united to create the conservancy. Mara Nyika embodies a fusion of conservation, cultural preservation, tourism, and community upliftment. By staying at this lodge, you’re supporting over 500 local families.

Each of the 12 exquisitely appointed tents at Mara Bushtops camp is named after the magnificent creatures that roam the surrounding plains. Every suite is a private sanctuary, boasting over 100 square meters of wooden decking, a jacuzzi, both indoor and outdoor showers, and panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides. Just beyond your canvas walls, a world of wildlife unfolds – buffalo, giraffe, eland, elephants, impala, zebra, and wildebeest, not to mention the occasional pride of lions or elusive leopard. Situated within the private Siana Conservancy, Bushtops offer unparalleled access to walking and night safaris, sundowners atop Sekenani Hill, and explorations of the nearby Kakia Caves.

Sir Richard Branson’s Mahali Mzuri is a swanky, 12-tent safari camp nestled deep in the Kenyan bush. A photographer’s dream and a multi-award winner, this place sits pretty in the 33,000-acre Olare Motorogi Conservancy, smack-dab in the heart of the Maasai Mara ecosystem. And let me tell you, they don’t skimp on anything – from the exotic spa treatments and those chic, domed-roof suites, right down to the chef, who, get this, was personally mentored by Gordon Ramsay.

If you want to combine exoticism and adventure with luxury and comfort, come to Governors’ Il Moran Camp. It is located in the heart of the famous Masai Mara Reserve. Ten huge tents are tucked away in the cool shade of the dense forest on the banks of the Mara River. Walking down to the river you will see hippos lounging in the water, walking around the camp you may well meet an elephant, and at night you will hear the call of hyenas and the menacing roar of a lion.
