"Wow. Sayari was amazing. "
The camp is really nice and the rooms, like the rooms at Namiri were wonderful. They don't miss a thing there, from laundry service, turn down, and handy beverages you have everything you need. I think Asilia in general does lodging just right. Not too opulent, just beautiful, relaxing, and generous in any of your needs. And the food is amazing...they really know how to make a good soup!
This is probably the best choice for lodging in the area if you are coming to see the migration. It certainly checked all my boxes.
here's a tip - definitely do the african ritual massage...it's a bumpy day out there and ending with a nice massage is a very generous way of thanking your bones and muscles for putting up with it." See all these reviews: 16n in Tanzania

"Sayari Camp review"
Facilities staff were the least personable or any of the camps. Apart from the welcome, we barely saw the camp managers.
Our butler took a clear dislike to my husband after he complained (politely and with valid grounds) about being served warm white wine, cold food in a freezing room where they left all the doors open" See all these reviews: 11n in Tanzania; 6n in Zanzibar; 1n in Kenya
"Sayari Camp review"
My arrival at the airfield was already expected and the welcome was very warm. Also in this camp everything was to my complete satisfaction. I felt immediately at home here as well.To make it short: Great staff and camp in an even greater landscape. Just very different from the other parts of the Serengeti. In addition, I was the only guest in the entire northern Serengeti (all other camps were closed). An incomparable stay that will never be repeatable.
Although I did not arrive for the migration, a visit is always worthwhile. Each game drive contained a highlight. I was not looking for a particular animal (I have seen them all before) but spent each day simply in nature with wild animals. From monkeys, to lions, cheetahs, hippos, crocodiles, elephants, etc.
Who spends a few days in this camp can enjoy great food and should not miss the beer tasting. Home-brewed beer in different flavors. I found my favorite... :-)" See all these reviews: 17n in Tanzania
"Most Amazing Trip We Have Ever Had!"
The team at Sayari led by Goodluck, including Baraka, Chris, Daudi, Samson, and Sidiki are among the best hosts we have ever had! They tailored everything to our needs and planned amazing camp meals for us. Goodluck went out of his way to connect with us on a personal level and we exchanged many experiences over dinner and drinks. The food was fantastic and we had a really nice "traditional" meal one evening.
The camp itself is excellent and has everything you could ask for. The location is perfectly located near the Mara River and has access to an amazing portion of Serengeti National Park. Our guide, Baraka, was highly skilled and took time not only to answer our questions on the wildlife but extended those discussions to the flora, insects, and environment. This man has a true passion for the outdoors and nature.
We would definitely do this again. Thank you so much for a great memory.

Ebenezer was an excellent guide with great knowledge and great feeling what your interests are.
The camp is very well run and the staff was very helpful and welcoming.
Great food with a lot of salads and vegetables.
Maybe the (beautiful) tents are in need of some refreshments..." See all these reviews: 7n in Rwanda; 4n in Tanzania
"Sayari"
We saw the famous Mara river crossing here, with the loss of one Wildebeest to the crocks--a gruesome sight as it took the wildebeest some long to succumb. Again the food was great as were the drinks around the firepit." See all these reviews: 11n in Tanzania
"Wonderfully organised fantastic guide food OK"
Our guide, Elia, was phenomenal and hugely enhanced the whole experience.
The food is so so, but they catered wonderfully for my gluten/dairy free diet, when my special foods were often better than the regular offerings!" See all these reviews: 12n in Tanzania; 6n in Zanzibar
