Sayari Camp is a Luxury Safari Lodge in the Northern Serengeti

The camp overlooks the Serengeti Plains that are home to an array of African wildlife including a large number of big cats, giraffe, elephant, buck and an increasing population of rhino.  

Sayari Camp combines luxury with a perfect location to witness the Great Migration of game crossing the Mara River.  During the migration season, millions of zebra and wildebeest arrive to share the fertile land with the permanent inhabitants of this part of the Serengeti, which include all of the big five game animals.  The camp, its staff and the incredible wildlife, ensures that Sayari Camp will remain one of your most enjuring memories of Africa.

Features

Wildlife

The remote area of the Northern Serengeti offers you a wealth of undisturbed wildlife viewing. Witnessing the Mara River crossings and the open landscape are two of the joys that come from a stay at the camp.  A bush breakfast observing thousands of migrating wildebeest and zebra is a awesome sight and a very memorable experience.

The camp offers game drives led by local guides both in vehicles, but also the rare opportunity to experience the Serengeti on foot.  Giving you a sense of freedom and an connection to the sights and sounds of the bush around you.  

Spa

Sayari Camp also has a spa facility where you can pamper yourself. The spa offers the following treatments: Full Body Massage, Head, Neck, Shoulders Massage,  (Maggie, was trained in India and does wonderful Indian Head Massages), Pedicures and Manicures.  (All Treatments are non-inclusive)

Activities for children:

The camp offers archery classes and archery competitions for children with the camp’s Askaris. The camp’s Askaris bring their local attire from home. They carry their personal bows and arrows while performing their night patrols. Kids love having a chance to shoot the bows and arrows and are taught by the Askaris.

Sustainable/Ethical Credentials

When Sayari started in this area, the camp along with the Honeyguide Foundation started a vegetable program. The Honeyguide Foundation supplied the villages with seeds and showed the villagers how to grow different types of vegetables.  The camp then arranged to buy these vegetables from them, for the guests and staff in the camp. The program has been a great success and has provided the local community with an additional income.  The camp buys vegetables from the community now on almost a daily basis when the camp is full.

Inside the Serengeti National Park the Camp works hard to minimise its carbon footprint on the environment.  It does this in the following ways:

-  Sorting all waste, both bio and non-biodegradable.  All non-biodegradable waste eg  plastics, glass, rubber, foil/tin/metal, everything that can be recycled is then taken out of the park and recycled in Arusha.

- All non-biodegradable waste before leaving camp is weighed and recorded so that the camp owners can see changes in consumption and cut that consumption where possible.

 - The Camp has installed a grey-water recycling unit and all grey-water gets cleaned and reused to cut down on water consumption.

-  The hot water for all guest tents is solar heated to cut down on generator running times. 

- The camp also has a very good environmentally friendly battery/inverter system that supplies power to the camp when the generator is off; again cutting down on the amount of hours the generator is used. 

-  Almost all products used within the various departments within the Camp are eco-friendly including some of the cleaning products.
