Sayari Camp & Sayari Retreats

Sayari Camp & Sayari Retreats sit in the far north of the Serengeti, ideally positioned for witnessing the dramatic Mara River crossings during the Great Migration. From July to October, herds of wildebeest, antelope and zebra thunder across crocodile-filled waters just minutes from the accommodation. For the rest of the year, the plains return to a quieter rhythm, with resident black rhino, lion, leopard, cheetah and elephant roaming the savannah. The remote location ensures an exclusive feel among the vast, secluded landscapes.

Twice daily game drives reveal the northern Serengeti’s open plains, rocky kopjes and riverine woodlands, as well as big cats. Seasonal walking safaris offer a slower, more intimate perspective. Crocodiles and hippos add to the migration drama and the birdlife is spectacular, especially after the seasonal rains. Between safaris, spend your time at the rim-flow pool, in the spa or on your shaded veranda watching as the wilderness unfolds before you. When evening falls, cosy up and join the conversations around the fire pit.

The comfortable, light-filled tented suites feature wraparound decks, king or twin beds and spacious bathrooms with both indoor and outdoor showers as well as free-standing bath tubs with sweeping views. For complete privacy, the Sayari Retreats cater to families or groups and include your own private accommodation, host, chef, guide, safari vehicle and fire pit. Whether in the main camp or the Sayari Retreats, children aged five and over are most welcome.
