Sayari Camp

Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

Witness the Wild in Style at Sayari Camp

Sayari Camp delivers an exceptional blend of exclusivity, eco-conscious luxury, and unrivalled wildlife viewing in one of Africa’s most sought-after locations. Perched close to the Mara River in the northern Serengeti, this elegant camp provides a front-row seat to the dramatic river crossings of the Great Migration, all while cocooned in refined comfort.

The 15 spacious tented suites are thoughtfully designed with contemporary decor, large decks, and en suite bathrooms featuring both indoor and outdoor showers. Each suite invites guests to relax and soak in the Serengeti’s expansive views, with the gentle soundtrack of the wilderness ever-present. The main areas echo this sense of calm with an open-plan lounge, pool, and a campfire setting perfect for evening storytelling beneath the stars.

Sayari’s safari experiences are immersive and flexible, led by expert guides with deep knowledge of the region’s complex ecosystems. Game drives and walking safaris offer opportunities to witness lion, cheetah, elephant, and the elusive leopard. The camp also runs meaningful community visits and supports local initiatives through AsiliaGiving, ensuring tourism has a lasting positive impact.

One of Sayari’s standout features is its solar-powered craft brewery—the first of its kind in the Serengeti—where guests can sample cold beer brewed on-site, an unexpected delight in the heart of the bush. Dining is a relaxed yet refined affair, with fresh, locally sourced meals served in the open-air dining area or alfresco under acacia trees.

Sayari Camp is ideal for travellers seeking a remote yet luxurious base from which to explore the northern Serengeti, particularly during the migration season, when nature’s grandest show unfolds just beyond your doorstep.

Thank you for putting together the ancestral adventure of a lifetime. I cannot speak highly enough of the trip. The transfers went smoothly, the accommodation was excellent, the drivers were amazing as they manoeuvred through the traffic and every tour guide had a great deal of knowledge and information. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The contrast of poverty and riches of the country was striking, from the beggars in the street and struggles of the poor to the spectacular, impressive sights of the forts and monuments. There were so many highlights. A moment in time that will never happen again.

Exellent and wonderful, reaching way above expectations.

We wanted the opportunity to see as many wildlife parks as possible and the Classic Safari Company provided an action-packed itinerary that included six, with 11 tiger sightings and nine leopard. This was overlaid with an introduction to Jaisalmer, Jaipur and the 'real' India. Pench and Panna were the hidden gems of a really great trip, very well organised, seamless and enjoyable. As a solo traveller I felt incredibly safe at all times. I want to go back!

Mark Taylor
