The award-winning Sayari Camp is based in the north of Serengeti National Park, with a prime location to witness thousands of wildebeest crash across the Mara River as part of their Great Migration.
The classic Sayari Camp boasts fifteen tented suites, each built from canvas, sand, stone, and mahogany — blending seamlessly with the natural surroundings.
Each Luxury Tented Suite features a king-sized bed (twin beds available), en-suite bathrooms with walk-in showers, and separate bathtubs that overlook the Northern Serengeti plains. Beautiful private verandas extend from each suite, offering exceptional views.
Sayari has been thoughtfully designed to offer various relaxation areas for guests. The camp takes pride in delivering personalized service. Guests can enjoy several indoor and outdoor dining areas for a sumptuous meal, a cozy library with a fireplace, and a rim-flow swimming pool offering breathtaking views of the Serengeti and its abundant wildlife.
Meals at Sayari are wholesome, with most fresh produce sourced from local farms in Nyamakendo, Mbalibali, and Merenga villages as part of Asilia’s Taste of Serengeti project.
Breakfasts can be enjoyed in camp or out in the bush and include continental or full English breakfast options. Lunches are light buffets, while dinners are three-course plated meals. If you're embarking on a full-day safari, you have the option to enjoy your lunch in the bush.
From July to November, large herds of wildebeest gather on the banks of the Mara River, preparing to cross the crocodile-infested waters as they journey north. These crossings are action-packed, with predators waiting on the other side for an opportunity to strike. Witnessing the thunder of millions of wildebeest crossing is one of the dramatic wildlife spectacles seen at Sayari Camp.
During the months of December through March, the migration moves south, leaving the Northern Serengeti. At this time, the area offers a more exclusive experience with large herds of plains game closely followed by lions and cheetahs. Leopards often stay in the lush riverine forests, while sightings of elephants and rhinos are common. The arrival of European migratory birds boosts the bird population to over 500 species, making it a spectacular time for birding enthusiasts to visit.
Activities offered at the camp include twice-daily open vehicle game drives, bush walks, bush breakfasts, picnics, starlit dinners, cultural and community visits, and hot air ballooning.
Sayari Camp is ideal for solo explorers, couples, and families seeking an exclusive safari experience.

My 2nd time booking with Safari.com
My 2nd time booking with Safari.com - Amazing is all I can say from the first trip last year to booking this one for next year - they tailor the trip to what you want to do and see and keep in touch the whole way thru. I would never book with anyone else ever! Kim Abrahams was a godsend - so patience with all my changes and requests. She made sure I was getting the right place to stay to have the best chance to see the animals I want to see.
