Sal Salis | Luxury Wilderness Safari Camp at Ningaloo Reef

Main Information

Sal Salis Ningaloo Reef is an exclusive safari camp hidden in the white sand dunes of Western Australia’s Cape Range National Park.

Sixteen spacious, innovative and charming wilderness tents metres from the water’s edge and the world’s greatest fringing coastal coral reef. A snorkel among the coral before breakfast? Why not…

Sal Salis accommodation and hosting style is a careful blend of barefoot luxury, warm hospitality and appreciation for the Australian environment. Sal Salis guides deliver extraordinary insights into one of the nation’s best kept natural secrets, Ningaloo Reef, as well as the little-explored Cape Range with its haunting chasms and gorges.

The beachside coral gardens are home to a colourful variety of marine life all year, but from April to July, you can arrange off-shore encounters with the fabled whale sharks or migrating humpback whales (July to October). Alternatively, you can just lie back in your deck hammock and watch the whales as they puff and breach on the far horizons.

At the centre of the camp is the open-fronted main building, your place to relax, dine and learn about the remarkable environment. At the top of a dune at the rear you’ll find a timber deck elevated to best savour the sunset – always complemented by canapés and champagne.

Ningaloo Reef

Ningaloo Reef is one of Australia’s incredible natural phenomena and has taken its place amongst the world-heritage list. It is one of the world’s longest coral reefs and is particularly unique in that it can be reached by simply stepping off the beach and into the ocean.

Ningaloo Reef experiences up to 320 days of luxurious sunshine per year, making it the perfect all-year-round holiday destination.

Accommodation Options and Facilities

Your accommodation is designed to expose you to the sights and sounds outside your tent – a kangaroo grazing amongst the dunes, the beautiful song of a butcherbird or a humpback whale breaching just beyond the reef.

The tent structures are timber underfoot, spacious and naturally comfortable. Guests appreciate that an exclusive bush experience does not need to be 5-star in the traditional sense, so there are no TVs, telephones, minibars or other modern appliances. But it’s the few key comforts that make the experience so special – like the supremely comfortable bed, 100% cotton linen (500 threadcount), a choice of pillows, soft bathtowels, an ensuite bathroom, delicious food and great hosting.

All power is solar generated and each ensuite bathroom has a natureloo (marketing jargon for a state-of-the-art composting loo!). Water usage is very carefully managed and no waste material escapes into the surrounding ecosystem. Native herb soaps and ecologically sound shampoos are provided.

Ningaloo Reef is one of Australia’s great marine experiences, while the limestone hinterland of the Cape Range hides deep gorges of spectacular beauty. The coral reef is literally on your doorstep and Sal Salis guides enjoy nothing more than sharing their knowledge and passion for their backyard – home to 500 species of fish, 250 coral species and 600 species of mollusc.

Dining

The main camp building is raised above the sand and coastal scrub with views out to the reef and breakers beyond. Dinner is hosted against a back-drop of rich orange sunsets over the Indian Ocean and the sight of kangaroos and wallaroos appearing from the bush for their evening graze.

The chef provides contemporary Australian cuisine with hints of bush food and native produce; guests may help themselves to the self-service bar at any time.
