Set up seasonal at three different locations in the Serengeti, the Sayari Camp always following the migration and is close to it. It is located in Piaya, in the Southern plains from January to April, moves to the Mara River area (north-western Serengeti) for June to September and is based in Soit Sambu in the North-Eastern part of the Serengeti from October to mid January.

Sayari Camp is always set up just outside the park borders of the Serengeti, therefore offers also walking Safaris, night game drives, and closeness to local communities. Furthermore the camp offers fly camping, and bird watching.
The 8 luxury tents offer comfortable beds and ensuite bathroom facilities, each with a private verandah overlooking the plains of the Serengeti.
There is a lounge/mess tent, and a cosy fire place where you can exchange experiences of the day time, and watch the stars.

Activities

Fly camping

Fly camping is a wonderful way to sleep under the stars and enjoy the pure tranquility and raw excitement of the bush. Ten foot square tents made of heavy duty mosquito mesh ensure that you are close to nature but apart from only bugs.
Fly camping in the Serengeti eco-system is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The freedom of movement, the intimacy of the light camp and the thrill of being so close to nature is the pinnacle of many guests’ safaris. Our fly camp is light enough to move easily and strike quickly, but still retains the everyday luxuries that characterize Asilia’s tented Camps – hot showers, comfortable bedding and cold drinks served with gourmet food.

Walking Safaris

Walking in the bush is an unforgettable safari experience that brings you the feeling of really being part of the nature around you. Wildlife is frequently encountered, but the sheer beauty of the nature or true interaction with local cultures can be just as rewarding! Walking safaris from Sayari can differ in length and pace according to you choice; the emphasis can be on taking it slowly and having time to smell flowers or on chasing animal trails into the unknown. Walking safaris can be combined with fly camping to give guests the ultimate safari experience: walking into your own private camp – where food and drinks await you - after a day of walking through majestic Serengeti area. Walking safaris are professionally guided. Vehicle pick-up and drop off if required. Walkie-talkie radios allow contact with vehicles and camps.

Game drives & photography

The local guides at Sayari Camp have a fantastic knowledge of the area surrounding the Camp. We use open vehicles and enjoy the freedom of off-road driving to access hidden areas and rare wildlife. Sayari Camp operates in the remotest areas of the Serengeti eco-system, allowing for long game drives undisturbed by other vehicles and affording our guests private and unique sightings.
