We were fortunate with the game, seeing just about everything in abundance - including a wildebeest crossing late in November. However, it was not the game that made it so wonderful but the place, the setting, the accommodation, the service, the personal attention, the food, wine, staff and our hosts. I cannot recommend Sayari highly enough."

We really enjoyed laying by the nice pool, but there is also a pretty beach. Tides and seaweed however do make it a little less attractive to swim. Activities such as snorkeling around Mnemba Island however truly make up for this."

I have recordings of the morning sounds from Tent no 4 on my phone that I listened to today on my return to Mumbai, and I was transported to a magical place in a country far away. Tanzania is a gentle place full of gentle people, and Sayari Camp harks back to a time long gone - very Karen Blixen, very "here I am; and here I was meant to be"."

Having visited this island National park a few times in the 90's I always wondered when a decent camp/lodge experience would be established. It wasn't easy to get there then but now it's a piece of cake! The beauty of Rubondo is special and my visit in late November last year was delightful. It's all being upgraded right now I hear and after any dusty or muddy safari I would prefer this type of experience to any beach! The atmosphere at the 'new' lodge is peaceful and one feels immersed in central African forest at once. A great contrast to the open plains of the Serengeti! The fishing is great fun and the hikes around the island are beautiful but its the overall natural history diversity and the serenity that is so rewarding here. The birding is great!"

Each tent (I'll call it a tent but it was very luxurious) is situated with a view of the Talek River. From the comfort of your bed you can gaze out at zebra, hippos, elephants, wildebeest, baboons, topi, gazelle and giraffe stopping for an afternoon drink. There are some places on earth that are magical. Rekero is one of them."

The rooms were big, comfortable and clean. We had a good time. This is a place where you can really relax."

I was blown away by the level of service which would put many top Sydney restaurants to shame. (…) Being woken each morning with freshly baked cookies and plunger coffee, while in the wild, was awesome ... not to mention evening drinks around the campfire.  I am telling all my friends and family about this camp; hospitality deluxe + wildlife migration = perfect holiday."

We had a truly wonderful time and Naboisho Camp exceeded our already high expectations. (…) The conservancy and the Mara were teeming in game and we were particularly lucky on the leopard front with our guide Benjamin leading us straight to the action two nights in succession."

I took my girlfriend on a trip around Eastern Africa and stayed at some exquisite places in all the countries, but out of all the places we stayed, Naboisho Camp left the deepest impression. Naboisho was like our home away from home."

The location is amazing, all tents face the east and you can see beautiful sun rise while lying in your bed. The camp is located in the wilderness and wild animals are near and close which makes it very exciting!"
