Sayari itself is a simple camp, though it has been well designed and thought out. All of the camps nine fairly Large Tents are well spread out and equipped – all with proper beds and en-suite bathrooms including a flushing toilet and a shower. Visiting during the migration is simply amazing. It's certainly worth timing your trip to see this if you can. The staffs are charming and very welcoming. Whilst we were there, guests wanted to witness a crossing, and so the camp stationed a team member with a radio on the river bank during lunchtime, to alert dining guests in case of a crossing. However, don't dismiss the idea of coming to Sayari when the migration is not here, as you'll find plenty of game

Sayari Camp Activities
Walking Safari: Walking in the bush is an unforgettable safari experience that brings you the feeling of really being part of the nature around you. Wildlife is frequently encountered, but the sheer beauty of the nature or true interaction with local cultures can be just as rewarding!  Walking safaris can differ in length and pace according to you choice; the emphasis can be on taking it slowly and having time to smell flowers or on chasing animal trails into the unknown. Walking safaris can be combined with fly camping to give guests the ultimate safari experience: walking into your own private camp where food and drinks await you - after a day of walking through majestic Serengeti Plains. Walking safaris are professionally guided. Vehicle pick-up and drop off if required. Walkie-talkie radios allow contact with vehicles and camps.

Fly Camping: Fly camping is a wonderful way to sleep under the stars and enjoy the pure tranquility and raw excitement of the bush. Ten foot square tents made of heavy duty mosquito mesh ensure that you are close to nature but apart from only bugs. Fly camping in the Serengeti eco-system is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. 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. Your fly camp is light enough to move easily and strike quickly, but still retains the everyday luxuries that it characterizes hot showers, comfortable bedding and cold drinks served with gourmet food.
Children are welcome at Sayari, as long as they are over the age of 7.Sayari would be a lovely camp for mature children. They would have to be aware of the remote location and the high risk of wild animals. It is also a peaceful camp, so they would have to be old enough to respect this.
