CAMP HISTORY
For many years, Asilia’s partner Sokwe operated mobile camps for it guests in the large Loliondo Game Controlled Area, east of the Serengeti. Sokwe pioneered partner agreements with the Masai villages including Piyaya, Ololosokwan and Soit Sambu to have the right to undertake respectful and low impact tourism. Through these agreements, the Maasai people receive an income for the use of their land for sustainable tourism in these wonderful, remote and exclusive areas.
In 2005 Asilia Lodges and Camps decided to establish a more permanent position in the Loliondo area. For a season, Sayari Camp moved from the Mara River to the Piyaya area, in the southern part of Loliondo. Sayari Camp now stays on the Mara River, but the new Piyaya Mobile Camp is fully dedicated to the beautiful Loliondo land.
