Sayari Camp

Back

Sayari Camp is situated at a fantastic site on the Mara River in the remote northern Serengeti, one of Africa’s best kept secrets! Sayari Camp is ideally located to witness the great migration between June and November, weather depending.

The camp moves to be sighted for the best migration movements and in the early part of the year is in the Ndutu area of southern Serengeti. As well as game drives, Sayarai Camp also offers walking safaris in the early morning and late afternoon. 

The camp is personal and original and only has 15 guest tents, divided into 2 wings. Each tent is very spacious and has its own veranda with comfy chairs to enjoy the beautiful view of the Serengeti. Inside are comfortable king-sized beds, beautiful traditional fabrics and contemporary furniture. The en-suite bathrooms have flush toilets, a double sink and shower - all done in an environmentally-friendly way. In addition there is one suite, ideal for honeymooners or guests wanting a little more privacy, complete with private butler.

The camp's central area has a large comfortable lounge with a bar. The 2 'chill-out' areas make ideal places to relax and enjoy the peaceful setting. There is also a rock swimming pool.

Great food - a fusion of authentic African and nouvelle European cuisine - is served to compliment the atmosphere in this idyllic bush retreat.

Highlights

  • The only camp in this area of the Northern Serengeti (June - Nov).
  • Situated in a fantastically wild and scenic area on the banks of the Mara river.
  • Small and personal camp.
  • High quality game viewing year round.
  • Great option for the Migration around June - July and November in the north and a luxury camping option early in the year in the south.

Viewpoints

Sayari Camp - what a place! Wildebeest and zebra almost surrounded the tent - game viewing here was without doubt some of the best (November) at most we saw 3 other vehicles a day. The wildebeest even behaved and crossed the mara river! The staff at Sayari were the best of the whole holiday and made my birthday one to remember.

This was the best accommodation of all - brilliant staff, and top food and rooms.

Best times to go

Tanzania's main rainy season runs from April until the beginning of June. There is also a short rainy season in November. The northern Serengeti has great resident game but is at it's best when the Great Migration passes through ... generally June - July and November.
