Sayari Mara Camp

Sayari Mara is a luxurious permanent lodge situated in the far north of the Serengeti National Park. The undulating bush around is bisected by the Mara River and home to permanent game. This part of the Serengeti is also a great place to witness the great migration: it’s within the Serengeti National Park and as remote as possible from any population centers. Here you can still see the migration with few other vehicles or visitors around you.

Our view of Sayari Mara Camp

Our consistent experience has been that Sayari is a very well run camp, with high levels of service and great food. Its biggest draw is its location: perfect for seeing the migration with few other vehicles or visitors around. Our only negative comment is that the sheer luxury of the latest incarnation of Sayari Camp does mean that it’s lost some of the ‘wilderness feel’ which it did used to have, and that its sister-camps still enjoy.

What’s perhaps not so well understood is that Sayari is a great safari camp even when the migration is not here; its resident game is good and there are even less other people around.
