Sala's Camp

Our Sala’s Double Tents include Tent 1 which is also known as the Keekorok Honeymoon Safari Tent and Tents 4, 5 and 6 are spread out along the riverbank next to our Sala’s Honeymoon Tent which is Tent 7.

Whilst they are all subtly different in design, they each have the same amenities and tranquil natural surroundings with views across the Sand River and into the Serengeti. The seclusion, sumptuous nature and incredible outlook of all our double tents make them the perfect choice for a honeymoon safari. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors lead out onto either a patio or a wooden deck, with space for intimate star-lit dining if desired. Private plunge pools and wooden decks allow for total relaxation in the soothing green surroundings of nature.

The Keekorok Family Tent, also referred to as Tent 2, is located on the corner where the Keekorok and Sand Rivers converge and is reached by crossing a small footbridge over the Keekorok River. The space boasts two roomy en-suite bedrooms, interconnected by a communal lounge area. This communal space forms the main entrance and is perfect for groups to relax in or even enjoy a private dining experience in if they wish. An enormous 108 square-metre wooden veranda spans the whole tent and provides a spectacular relaxation deck. Here you’ll find a private plunge pool, sunken seating, deck chairs and a hammock, all south facing, looking out across the Sand River and into Tanzania beyond.

The Keekorok Family Tent can sleep up to six guests in a variety of layouts, depending on requirements. Both rooms can be doubles, twins or triples. Alternatively, the central lounge area contains a double sofa bed and can be separated by sliding doors to become a third bedroom. The two spacious en-suites each contain rain showers and free-standing copper bathtubs with fabulous views out into the wilderness.

The Forest Family Tent consists of one enormous open-plan room with a bedroom at either end. The two sleeping areas are divided by an open-plan lounge area in the middle with a small wooden screen for separating each end if desired. Both bedroom areas have their own ensuite bathrooms with rain showers and flushing loo and one also has a bathtub. A small grassy area shaded by trees makes a great space for little ones to play in front of the tent.

The Forest Family Tent can sleep up to five guests, each end of the open-plan room able to be configured as a twin or double, with an additional fifth bed upon request. A large veranda spans the length of the tent and a private deck is located a stone’s throw away beside the Sand River with views looking south into Tanzania. Here there is a private plunge pool and day bed, plus a sunken seating area and fire pit.

Exclusive use of game drive vehicle is included for all guests staying in the Forest Family Tent.

Setting off before sunrise offers the best chance of exciting wildlife encounters, and being able to eat a scrumptious, freshly cooked breakfast whilst doing it is even better! Sala’s vehicles are specially fitted out with stoves for freshly cooked bush breakfasts so you can enjoy eggs, omelettes and pancakes cooked to order whilst soaking up the incredible scenery.

Sala's team of chefs are renowned for their delicious, vibrant and nutritious lunch time platters. Enjoy a selection of stunning dishes with ingredients picked fresh from the organic kitchen garden. Dining takes place in front of the main mess tent, where it is not uncommon to see wildlife wondering past on the opposite bank of the river, so game viewing might continue over lunch!

At certain times of the year (and weather permitting) the Sand River next to Sala’s Camp is dry and we can set up a candlelit dinner in the riverbed. Enjoy a yummy barbeque prepared by our chefs whilst listening out for nocturnal wildlife.
