Sala’s Camp

Sala’s Camp is renowned for providing an authentic and understated safari experience, where guests will discover a perfect balance between tradition and modernity.

Sala’s Camp prides itself on its warmth and hospitality, with a phenomenal team, many of whom come from local Maasai communities and grew up in perfect harmony with the wilderness. Although small, Sala’s Camp makes big impressions. The Mara is teeming with wildlife all year round. Elephant sightings are best between December and March, while the Great Migration begins in June and lasts until September, and the Big Cats tend to have their cubs around June and July.

Kitich Forest Camp

Withdrawn from the dry savannah plains and secluded in verdant ancient forests, Kitich is like no other camp in East Africa. On the slopes the Matthews Mountain Range you can step into a world held in harmony between the indigenous Samburu people and the beasts roaming the age-old forest, untarnished by urban modernity.

Speke’s Camp

Alongside the Olara Orok River in a quiet corner of the Maasai Mara, Speke’s Camp embodies everything you could want in a traditional safari camp – a closeness to nature, peace and quiet, originality, rustic charm and a warm welcome. Though it’s a small and simple camp, you’ll not be wanting for anything! The experience at Speke’s is all about immersing in the natural wonders that the Maasai Mara has to offer. You’ll have your own safari vehicle and guide while you stay so every day can be planned on your terms. Speke’s is one of the more budget-friendly camps in the Maasai Mara, making it a great addition for a longer safari tour or for those looking for an amazing and authentic experience in a more affordable price range.

Elewana Elsa’s Kopje Meru

Elewana Elsa’s Kopje is a timelessly elegant lodge in an equally spectacular location within the Meru National Park. The bond between the two is a special one – the National Park was popularised by George and Joy Adamson, who authored a book about their experiences rehabilitating lions; the book was made into a film entitled ‘Born Free’ starring Virginia McKenna, who became one of the lodge’s founders, and the revenue made by Elsa’s Kopje single-handedly saved the Park from quite literally disappearing off the map. Blending seamlessly into the slopes of Mughwango Hill, Elsa’s Kopje is blessed with cinematic views of the Meru plains that guests can relish from the decks of their luxury cottages. As one of only 2 lodges in the Meru Park, guests can have an exclusive safari experience among some of the most diverse wildlife practically all to themselves!

Rhino River Camp

Looking out over the crystalline Kindani River and surrounded by verdant forest, Rhino River Camp is a fantastic base from which to explore the natural beauty of the Meru National Park and to rediscover that connection to nature again. The Meru hosts abundant populations of wildlife including elephants, lions, leopards, giraffes and many more! You’ll also have prime access to the Meru Rhino Sanctuary, one of the very best places in Africa for rhino sightings. With just 7 tents in the camp, you’re promised all the peace and quiet you’ll need to recharge and make the most of all the adventures Rhino River Camp has to offer.

The Emakoko

The Emakoko is a one-of-a-kind lodge perched on the edge of the Nairobi National park, just as it perches on the edges of the natural and urban worlds. It’s this unique balance that allows guests to make the most of Kenya’s natural beauty and the vibrant urban culture of Nairobi. From this boutique, family-owned lodge, you can see right over the Mbagathi River and into the Park, which hosts a wonderful variety of birds and wildlife, while being less than an hour away from Nairobi’s top attractions. Emakoko is an ideal destination to begin or round off a longer safari tour throughout Kenya as it gives you that first or final taste of safari without disconnecting entirely from a more urban environment.
