Location and surroundings

Sayari Camp Asilia Africa lies close to the Mara River in the northern Serengeti, a remote and wildlife-rich region of the park. Between July and October, thousands of wildebeest and zebra pass through the region on their migration, and you can watch the herds’ river crossings. The landscape is characterised by gentle hills, open savannah and pockets of woodland. From the Kogatende Airstrip you reach the camp in a 20-minute drive. Far from the main routes, the camp offers you a quiet retreat in the vastness of the Serengeti.

Sayari Camp lies in the northern Serengeti region. You can find further accommodation in this region in the overview of lodges in the northern Serengeti.

Rooms and facilities

The camp consists of 15 tented suites, including two family tents and one honeymoon tent, plus two retreats. Each tented suite has a bathtub, a rain shower, comfortable beds, a lounge area and a private veranda overlooking the expanse of the savannah. The interior is bright and designed with natural materials. The central area includes a restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, an open lounge, a bar, a spa and an infinity pool overlooking the landscape. The property runs on solar energy.

Nkoaranga Orphanage

The Nkoaranga orphanage at the foot of Mount Meru has existed since 1997; around 30 children up to the age of three live there with 12 carers. Instead of a fixed contribution, Wildfinder Safaris regularly buys supplies for the orphanage: groceries, toiletries and similar items.
