Introducing Asilia’s brand new permanent Sayari Camp- right at the Mara River:

The former seasonal Sayari Camp has just undergone tremendous renovations and upgrading and now is Asilia’s most luxurious and breathtaking property. Striving with space, comfort and luxury, this stylish camp will become a synonym for sensational wildlife in a great setting with a high level of personalised service. The camp layout and staff numbers allow for guests’ experience to be unique and tailor made- every stay at Sayari shall result in a once in a life time experience. The camp, although luxurious in many ways holds a great balance with offering guests a true safari experience embracing the unique elements of the ‘real African bush’.

Sayari Camp’ s 15 luxury tents are split into 2 wings- one with 9 and one with 6 tents all of which are raised on wooden platforms to offer a spacious and extremely comfortable stay. Both wings have their own entertainment and hosting tent making it possible to book each wing exclusively for groups. All unique tents in Sayari Camp offer panoramic views over the Serengeti through glass sliding doors and windows and allow guests to enjoy the tranquillity of the bush while relaxing on their private wooden deck where a large sofa/day bed and table and chairs are just waiting for them.

The tents are spacious and equipped with very contemporary and comfortable furniture, the ensuite bathroom has a flush toilet, indoor shower double stone hand basins, as well as a free standing bath. The camps’ central area consists of a large, comfortable lounge with an ‘all day’ bar service, rock swimming pool and fire place as well as two ‘chill out’ areas under canvas slightly away for the main lounge to give a quiet area to read a book or bird watch. Sayari Camp is the first of the Asilia Camps to offer a uniquely designed Honeymoon Suite which boasts not only one rock bath but two – one indoor and one outdoor, positioned in a secluded corner close to the raised wooden deck. A private butler will look after guests and provide private meals under the stars or offer any services as required. All measures will be taken to ensure that every Honeymoon couple will never forget their experience at Sayari.

The migration together with their predators are of course the main attraction of Sayari Camp- especially in the months August- November where- if guests are lucky- they can experience the spectacular phenomenon of the river crossing when on a morning or afternoon game drive, but that is not all, Sayari Camp is now also able to offer walking safaris either in the early morning or late afternoon.

Africa : Tanzania

The majestic landscape of the northern Serengeti is one of the best kept secrets of African safaris. Far from the tourist track, the area offers undisturbed exploration of the fantastic Serengeti National Park, with off-road driving still allowed in some parts. Endless rolling plains and riverine woodlands are home to lion, leopard, cheetah, elephant, large herds of antelope and many, many other animals. The stunning Mara River, filled with hippos and crocodiles, cuts through this land and hosts one of the greatest spectacles nature has to offer: the dramatic wildebeest crossings of the Mara River. Between mid July and November, the Great Migration typically visits the area and crosses the Mara River back and forth in search of green grass.

FACTS AND FIGURES
Tanzania is slightly larger than twice the size of California with a total of 945,087 sq kms. It has a population of 37.5 million (July 2006 estimate). The capital is Dodoma. However, the commercial capital, and by far the largest city, is Dar es Salaam on the Indian Ocean. Arusha, in the north, is the center for tourism.

OFFICIAL LANGUAGE
Kiswahili (or Swahili) and English are Tanzania's official languages. Kiswahili is the national language and the language used in primary school education; English is often the primary language of commerce, administration and higher education, and is by no means spoken fluently by all Tanzanians.

THE MAJESTIC FEELING OF HAVING THE ENDLESS PLAINS ALL FOR YOURSELF

The remote, vast lands of the northern Serengeti offer undisturbed wildlife watching that stuns even the most experienced Africa travelers. Spectacular Mara River crossings, off-road driving and endless landscapes overflowing with animals, and no humans to be seen, are some of the specialties of this remote and wild paradise. A bush breakfast observing thousands of migrating wildebeest and zebra is a majestic and most memorable experience. Reading, dreaming, drawing, painting, writing and simply contemplating are just some of the activities that Sayari Camp invites you to partake in when in camp. Life just might appear in a different light when you return home after a stay in this enchanted area.
