The Sayari Camp

The Sayari Camp is situated at a fantastic site on the Mara River, in the unspoilt and undiscovered northern part of the Serengeti National Park, one the best kept secrets of African safaris. The camp is ideally located to witness the world famous river crossing of the Great Migration in the months of July to November. Outside of these months, the Mara River area still hosts a very high density of cats, elephants, crocodile, hippo and antelope.

The camp is intimate and original and has 8 guest tents only. Every tent has its own private veranda equipped with comfortable chairs and couches from which the wide Serengeti landscape can be overlooked. Inside the tents you will find special, comfortable king-size beds, beautiful traditional cloths and contemporary furniture. The spacious en-suite bathroom has a double sink, a shower and a ceramic flush toilet, all environmentally friendly.

Sayari Camp has a fantastic cook that offers a great blend of authentic African and nouvelle European cuisine. The atmosphere at Sayari is very personal and intimate and the camp crew does everything to make the experience unforgettable.

Game drives from Sayari Camp are unlike anything else in the Serengeti: due to the exclusive location on the Mara River, fantastic game drives can be enjoyed without meeting many – if any – other tourists.

Conservation

• No tropical hardwood is used in the construction of the camp.
• Locally available materials are used as much as possible in the construction of the lodges/camps; this to support local economies and to limit damage to the environment from large scale transportation of construction materials.
• The camp uses water in a very responsible manner. Especially in the areas of greatest scarcity of water (Tarangire NP, Serengeti eco-system), water consumption is limited as much as possible, whilst the client comfort is not jeopardized.

 From Sayari and Olakira Camp’s revenues, US$ 20 per bednight go to surrounding communities (Wakuria communities when the camp is located at the Mara River, Maasai communities when the camp is located at Piaya / Soit Sambu) These donations aim at self-help projects such as their own tourism camp/site (Wakuria) and/or educational measures (Maasai).
