Superb Serengeti Safari at Asanja Nyasirori Camp by Asanja Africa.

5/5

We were a group of 6 and we spent 4 nights at the recently commissioned Asanja Nyasirori Camp of Asanja Africa from 9th to 12th June 2026. My impressions and experience in this Camp is briefly stated below:

CAMP LOCATION:
The Camp has an excellent hillside location in the proximity of Grumeti River – overlooking the scenic valley below with occasional sightings of large herds of migrating wildebeest as well as elephants and impalas – with hyenas calling almost throughout the night and occasional roar of lion. As we were checking in at the Camp on the 9th we were thrilled to witness thousands of migrating wildebeest file past in the valley not too far from the Camp.

ACCOMODATION:
The Camp is a modern unique rendition of traditional ethnic concepts with a luxurious lay-out. All amenities in the rooms were top-class. Each spacious unit was cleverly hidden from the adjacent unit by green foliage and enjoyed a superb view of the valley below. What we missed however was a curtain between the bedroom and bath/toilet area for providing better privacy. Also, during mid-day the rooms (probably because of the concrete structure and external colour scheme) became rather warm making it difficult to get an afternoon nap (which we feel is necessary to be fresh for the evening game drive). The performance of the fan above the bed was not adequate enough to make a difference. A portable table/stand fan near the bed would easily solve this issue.

FOOD:
The food served (both occidental and oriental) were delicious. We were pleasantly surprised with the authentic vegetarian and non-vegetarian Indian dishes prepared by the Chef as per our suggestions. What we missed here was the preparation of bakery items in the Camp.

SERVICE:--
Service was absolutely top-class, courteous, efficient and professional in all aspects – whether in the room, dining, lounge or in any other area of the Camp. All requirements of guests were met promptly.

GAME-DRIVES & WILDLIFE:--
We were fortunate to witness the arrival of the wildebeest migrating herds. The sight of large migrating herds at Nyasirori swamp was breath-taking. Plenty of other animals, including lions, elephants and antelopes – not too far from the Camp. We however could not witness any crossings of Grumeti River by the migrating herds. We saw very few other safari vehicles in our Game-drives and enjoyed most of the sightings almost exclusively -- which was a huge plus point.

DRIVER-GUIDES :--
Our Driver-Guides, Toshi (Emanuely Pallagyo) and Hamidu (Hamidu Adinani Mgwano), were simply superb in every way. Their expertise gave us the best game-drive experience. They were extremely courteous, always cheerful and amiable and full of enthusiasm to show us all that was ever possible in the game-drives while at the same time enriching us with their expert knowledge regarding our wildlife sightings. The Special Photographic Vehicles allotted by Asanja Africa were a great help in capturing some impressive scenes during our game-drives – more so because Toshi and Hamidu knew exactly when and where to place the vehicle for the best photographic shots. The credit for our super Safari experience goes to a very large extent to these two Driver-Guides. From my personal experience with 7 Safari outings so far, I will rate them among the best Driver-Guides that I have come across.

In conclusion, we thank Ajay Singh of Asanja Africa for coordinating our Safari from beginning to end in a seamless manner for a hassle-free and truly enjoyable experience. We will certainly recommend Asanja Nyasirori, especially during June when the wildebeest migration is passing through this area. Accommodation, food and service is excellent - so is the wildlife sightings, without the crowd of safari vehicles.
