After breakfast, we will take our private charter from the Solio Airstrip to the Maasai Mara for our stay at Sala's Camp.

Your Masai Mara safari will begin the moment you arrive at Sala’s Camp. It sits in one of the best locations in the whole of the Masai Mara National Reserve. Intimate and secluded, it is nestled along the tree lined banks of the Sand River in the southern tip of the reserve. As such, it is less than two kilometers away from the Tanzanian border and enjoys a splendid wild outlook and wonderful views into the Serengeti National Park. This also means that it is one of the first camps in the Mara to witness the legendary annual wildebeest migration which thunders by from June to September each year. With teeming wildlife year round, Sala’s game drives never disappoint. Get excited by exploring some of the wildlife and scenery you can expect to see on your Masai Mara safari, as well as the beautiful camp you will be relaxing in. Cook-out breakfasts and sundowners out on the savannah make for magical memories. The landscape is spectacular, the birdlife impressive and the feeling of being totally immersed in nature cannot be beaten.

Activities include: game drives, guided bush walks, camel walks, fly camping (by prior arrangement), school/ village/ clinic/ market visits. Also included all meals, house wines, house soft drinks, beers, spirits, laundry, bush meals.

Not included: champagne, luxury spirits, spa treatments, quad bike excursions or other services.

After breakfast with the giraffes, we will say a sad goodbye to Giraffe Manor - but hello to Nairobi!

Because most international flights depart from Nairobi in the very late evening, we have taken the liberty of planning something for us all to do. If your flight leaves during the day, no worries! We will transfer you to the airport at any point.

For the rest of us who likely don't depart until 9 pm or midnight, we will spend our final day exploring Nairboi, including a stop to the Kazuri Bead Factory, a bead collective that is women-owned and run, and, a visit to the African Heritage Museum.

After an afternoon of exploring, we will check into day rooms at the Four Points by Nairobi Airport, giving us time to freshen up and rest before the long flight home.
