Locate d in the remote northern area of the Serengeti, Sayari Camp provides complete exclusivity and undisturbed game viewing. Its position close to the Mara River is a spectacle unto itself as one is literally in the path of the Great Migration- known to many as “the greatest show on earth.”
A day at Sayari Camp
Begin with an early morning wakeup call and a steaming cup of coffee. Typically the client will get an adrenaline rush with a hot air balloon ride cutting through the cool air of the plains as herds of elephant, buffalo and zebra scatter in search of food below you. Upon landing- you are treated to a breakfast and your guide will then take you either back to the camp for a well deserved nap or continue on a game drive. Return for lunch and an afternoon nap. Later go out for an evening game drive retuning to camp for a hearty dinner and cold beer.
Wildlife watching
While this area is full of animals all year round, the annual migration is at its peak in the Northern Serengeti between June and November as thousands of wildebeest cross the dangerous Mara River into Kenya. The big cats- lion, cheetah and leopard is often found there hunting the migratory species and on occasion the black rhino is also found.
