Sayari Camp

Kogatende, Northern Serengeti, Tanzania

An Asilia camp positioned directly on the Mara River’s migration crossing points in the far north of the Serengeti.

Overview

Sayari Camp sits close to the Mara River in the far north of the Serengeti, positioned specifically for the migration’s dramatic river crossings each year, one of the most sought-after wildlife spectacles on the continent.

Rooms & Table

The Rooms

Spacious tented suites with expansive glass frontages and private plunge pools, set along a granite kopje overlooking the surrounding plains.

Food & Service

A strong, contemporary dining programme served with wide views over the northern plains, in keeping with Asilia’s broader design-led approach.

Activities

Game drives to the Mara River’s crossing points during migration season, plus year-round game viewing across the northern Serengeti’s remote plains.

Wildlife & Photography

The northern Serengeti hosts the wildebeest and zebra migration’s river crossings from roughly July through October, with crocodile-filled waters and predators gathering along the banks.

A Photographer's Note

River crossing photography rewards patience and a long lens from a fixed vantage point on the bank; guides here are specifically experienced at reading which crossing points herds are likely to use.

Conservation & Impact

Asilia’s Sayari operation supports Serengeti-wide anti-poaching funding and community projects in the Kogatende and Mara River border areas.
