Travellers' Choice
The award-winning Sayari Camp is renowned for extraordinary wildlife sightings and supreme comfort. Set on the unspoilt plains of the Northern Serengeti, close to the famous Lamai Wedge, Sayari gives you easy access to the Mara River and multiple river crossing points. Sayari Camp offers some of the world's finest game viewing - and it does so in remarkable style. Relax in your extra-comfortable hillside suite after a day on safari, or take a dip in the glorious rim-flow swimming pool with dramatic views over the northern plains. Intimate, contemporary and elegant, it is no surprise that this permanent camp is regularly voted one of the top safari escapes on the planet.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

An exceptional Camp. We were the only guests there and the service was all the better. We had an effective private senior guide, with an open side vehicle. Our guides knowledge of the bush seemed infinite ! Fully flexible and the trip of a lifetime …

Property's Favourite Review
We ended our 9 day Safari in the northern Serengeti staying two nights at Sayari. It was the perfect way to finish our adventure, the cherry on top if you will. Sayari is true luxury in the Serengeti. The staff are amazing and catered to our every need. I traveled with my husband and our three daughters age 25, 23 and 15. Charles and George made sure we felt safe and cared for during our stay. The grounds are so beautiful. The pool overlooks the Serengeti, and we could see and view animals while sitting on our porch or while enjoying the outdoor shower. The food was exceptional and pleasing to both the eye and mouth. I only wish that we couldve stayed longer. Thank you to all staff at Sayari for making us feel warm, welcomed and at home.

Asilia is the most amazing operator and Sayari was the second destination. Both camps are unique and off contrasting landscapes but both have the same 6*service. We have never felt so cared for on a holiday and all with such warmth and authenticity

We arrived in Tanzania to be greeted by Nelson our guide for the next 5 days. We had an amazing time game driving every day twice a day with Nelson who tried so hard to show us so much, Serengeti is vast and you have to drive a lot further and the grasses were long so hard to spot the animals but Nelson was an amazing spotter! The Camp is beautiful, but sadly we had some issues with our water supply, it seems the elephants dig up the pipes every so often so they moved us and treated us ( as the camp was quiet to the top tent) it was amazing and everyone made us so welcome and comfortable. We were lucky enough to have the best butler ever .. Nicolas who was so well-spoken and professional that I can not praise him enough, Nicolas made our holiday complete! Nicolas knew very quickly what we needed and when and was so engaging and a true gentleman. We had Peter as our Housekeeper who also quickly knew what we liked and kept the tent very clean and tidy, Peter was the best Housekeeper ever! Emanuel the chef cooked our meals every day at the tent and we ate our meals in the tents which was lovely after a long game drive. Sadly the weather was not so kind to us and it rained a lot and we had a lot of muddy game drives, but we had some adventures with Nelson and made our holiday special. We got to know Baraka and Deniss who were also part of the amazing team at Sayari. We learnt so much and experienced so much and I will always have special memories because of the people like Nicolas who helped make our stay so special. Thank you all and I will always remember Nicolas our butler for being a very special person Thank you 🙌🤩

Hello, We can’t thank you enough for your lovely review of Sayari Camp – it really has made our whole team’s day to read your kind words! Nelson, Nicolas, Peter, Emanuel and the whole team were sad to say farewell at the end of your safari. Thank you for noticing all the small details – we love to find ways to spoil and surprise our guests, even in our setting in the Serengeti National Park and it makes us so happy to hear that they were so appreciated. It was a pleasure for us to host you and we would welcome the opportunity to do so again. When you are longing for the unique charm of Sayari and the very warm hospitality, we will all be waiting for you! Warmest regards from Africa, The Sayari Camp Team

Sayari Camp is one the most beautiful places on earth. I stayed there a few days and honestly never wanted to leave. The managers and staff there are one of the politest welcoming people that I have ever met. Their attention to detail is unmatched. The Chef was kind and catered to my many allergies by creating a special meal for me daily. I was so impressed with the level of service and the excellent job the entire team did to make my stay superb. Here is a special thank you to Denise and Charles (camp managers), Baraka, Abdul, Abraham, Makame and the best tour guide of all time Octavian. Thank you all those I didn’t mention.

Great guides. Great wildlife. Great Vehicles. All the makings for a successful safari. We loved the sounds of nature at night. Food was incredible at every meal. A special thank you for Nicolas in dining for the warm attention. And to Mourice who did so many little things for us each day. Both Nicolas and Mourice made our stay extra fun.

Sayari Camp is the third Asilia Camp we stayed with on our African adventure. The Highlands, Dunia and lastly Sayari. Staff, service and facilities were awesome at every lodge. Sayari as the largest was most impressive and the fact it is only 20 minutes from the Airport was a bonus.

Truly so blown away by our stay at the Sayari Camps. The staff was so incredibly attentive, kind and professional. Each and everyone went above and beyond making us feel like we were royalty. Our guide was so knowledgeable regarding all animals we saw and was a true delight to spend the days with. Our butter was the same! So attentive and kind, so enjoyable to be around. We are so thankful for this stay on our trip, thank you Asilia team!!! Cannot wait to get back.

We had an incredible stay at Sayari Camp. It’s an absolute top class camp with exceptional staff, guides, and accommodations. The food was always delicious for every meal. We saw the Big 5 all in one day! Special mention to our guides Timan and Charles who were extremely knowledgeable and gave us such amazing drives.

The safari sightings were superb. At one point, we saw all of the Big 5 in a single day. However, what truly made the experience was how friendly every member of staff was. It was easy to share banter with everyone.
