Views from Sala's Camp breakfast lunch & dinner...

One of my favorite memories from our trip was our "bush breakfast". Jackson pulled a whole grill out of the side of the jeep! They set up a spread of pancakes, eggs, bacon, yogurt, & fruit right by the river so you're far enough from the hippos below but you can still watch nature unfold. Like the Disocvery Channel, but better. For a look into our bush breakfast & an almost hippo brawl: https://www.instagram.com/p/DLkV0z_xxdD/

A part of the fee for your stay goes to local conversation, protecting the Masai Mara and all of its animals. Hakuna Matata! Giraffe Manor was created to replopulate the reticulated gioraffe species which is now endangered. Sala's Camp also contributes to rhino conservation and you might even be lucky enough to see one during your stay!

Important notes if you're considering a trip to Africa,

• Never drink the tap!

  • Even when brushing your teeth, use distilled or bottled water

• You need Travel Authorization!

  • Republic of Kenya Electronic Travel Authorization, Apply online

• No Avoiding These Vaccines!

  • Trust me, if I could've I would've. You'll need Typhoid, Yellow Fever,
