Set close to the mighty Mara River in the northern Serengeti, Sayari is perfectly positioned for access to the exclusive Lamai Wedge and has a front row seat to the Great Migration when it passes through from July to October. The camp is one of the larger tented camps in the area, but its layout and location ensures exclusivity and intimacy. Built on raised wooden platforms with rolling panoramic views, you’d be hard pressed to picture a more idyllic place from which to enjoy Africa, or indeed, the migration. And migration aside, it’s a winner for phenomenal, year-round wildlife.




Sayari Camp has fifteen stylish en-suite hillside rooms, including an indulgent honeymoon suite. The tents are about as luxurious as they come - we’re not even sure the word tent is appropriate. Built on raised wooden floors, with generous windows and a private veranda, they are well spaced with loads of privacy. Each suite’s spacious bathroom is equipped with a walk-in shower and a large egg-shaped bath. Expect everything you could possibly need in a room.
Sayari Camp is owned by African Bush Camps who has been dedicated to improving the lives of communities near their camps in Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Zambia. Focused on education, empowerment, and conservation, they tackle challenges like unemployment, food scarcity, and wildlife poaching. With a commitment to sustainability, they cover operating costs, ensuring that every guest's stay directly supports their impactful projects, fostering a partnership to preserve Africa's natural heritage. A contribution of $85 per guest, which is included in the nightly rate, goes towards the above goals.
