Sayari Camp, Tanzania

Inspired by the colorful culture of the Kuria tribe who call the northern Serengeti home, Sayari Camp's bold new look was conceptualized by the mastermind behind Jabali Ridge and Namiri Plains. It's a favorite lodge for East Africa safari aficionados thanks to its location directly in the path of the Great Wildebeest Migration. The 15 spacious tents, including a redesigned family suite for 5 guests, all have striking views of the rolling plains. And when Sayari reopens next summer, it will be home to the first solar-powered microbrewery in Africa.

• Reopening: June 2020
