Sayari is Kiswahili for universe/planet. The name captures the vast plains and endless skies in which the camp is immersed. Sayari Camp is a seasonal camp that follows the migratory patterns. The camp delivers miles of breathtaking African nature in all directions along with many creature comforts right in the middle of the bush.. The name Serengeti stems from the Maasai word 'siring' referring to 'endless plains', and that's really what it is. The locations of this Tanzania safari camp are all near the border of the national park (Mara is just inside the park and Piaya and Soit Sambu just outside the park). This is to allow for the superior combination of top wildlife viewing, walking safaris and interaction with local cultures like the Maasai just outside the park.
LOCATION: Sayari camp is a seasonal camp that follows the migration. It is located in Piaya, in the Southern plains from January to April, moves to the Mara River area (north-western Serengeti) for June to September and is based in Soit Sambu in the North-Eastern part of the Serengeti from October to mid January (the camp is closed during April and May, the season of the long rains). The locations of the camp are all located near the border of the national park (Mara is just inside the park while Piaya and Soit Sambu are just outside the park).
CLIMATE: The Serengeti can be visited throughout the year, except perhaps during the season of the long rains from mid April to May. Altitudes in the Serengeti range from 900 to 1800 metres. Temperatures therefore vary from 15 degrees to 25 degrees Celsius, with chilly evenings from June to October.
ACCOMMODATION: Sayari Camp is an intimate seasonal tented camp of 8 guest tents.
ROOM DECOR & AMENITIES: Guest tents are very originally designed, spacious and are equipped with fully en-suite bathroom facilities. Each tent at this Tanzania safari accommodation facility has its own spacious private veranda with a very comfortable couch and chairs, overlooking the vast Serengeti that is spread out before you.
Inside the tent, there are very comfortable king-size beds with beautiful cloth and contemporary furniture, giving the tent a very stylish yet homely feel. Lighting in the tent can be made both atmospheric and at reading strength. The spacious bathroom has a shower, double sinks and a ceramic flush toilet that is
environmentally friendly.
FOOD AND BEVERAGE ACTIVITIES: Central to the camp are two stylish common tents. When this Tanzania safari camp is occupied by multiple small groups, one tent will serve as a dining tent and the other one as a lounge, where drinks are served and safari stories are shared. When a somewhat larger group (e.g. 8 people) visits in the camp, one of the common tents can be made the exclusive lounging/dining tent for that group. The other tent will then be set up as a lounging/dining tent for the other guests of Sayari Camp.
The lounge tent welcomes you to completely relax, sipping on your drink while looking out over the Serengeti, reading a book or discussing the adventures of the day. A sea of cushions, a wide range of quality drinks and snacks and a wealth of books on nature and wildlife in the area make this a place where you can easily lose track of time.
Dining is intimate in the dining area of this Tanzania safari accommodation facility, but can also be enjoyed privately under the millions of stars in the Serengeti sky. Either way, the amicable staff will prepare you a meal you wouldn't dream possible in the middle of the camp's remote wilderness locations. At night, be overwhelmed by the many stars whilst sitting next to the camp fire.
GENERAL FACILITIES: Sayari's shop offers local artefacts and camp gadgets; presents for the ones staying behind or reminders for an unforgettable time in the middle of one of the world's natural wonders.

The freedom of movement, the intimacy of the light camp and the thrill of being so close to nature is the pinnacle of many guests safaris.
