The Olakira Camp is designed to give you optimum game viewing opportunities.
Location: Olakira Migration Camp offers front-row access to one of nature’s greatest spectacles: the Great Wildebeest Migration. As a mobile camp, it follows the herds, spending July to October in Tanzania's northern Serengeti for the dramatic Mara River crossings, and moving south during calving season. This unique positioning ensures exceptional wildlife viewing year-round.
Rooms: The camp features nine spacious canvas tents designed to blend hotel-style comfort with bush authenticity. Each tent includes a king-sized bed, handwoven rugs, and wooden furnishings. En-suite bathrooms come with flushing toilets, hot running water, and a traditional outdoor bucket shower. Guests can also relax on their private veranda and enjoy meals in seclusion if desired.
Amenities: At the heart of the camp is the open-sided mess tent, combining a cosy lounge and dining area. Guests can unwind on large sofas while taking in sweeping views or gather under the stars around an outdoor seating area. Meals blend African and Western flavours and can be served in camp or packed for bush picnics on game drives.
Activities: Game drives are a highlight here, with expert guides offering insights into wildlife behaviour and the migration’s movements. During the northern season, walking safaris offer an intimate exploration of the Serengeti, while hot-air balloon rides provide a bird’s-eye view followed by a champagne bush breakfast. Cultural visits to nearby Kuria villages round out the experience.
Sustainability: Olakira prioritises low-impact travel through its mobile design, which leaves a minimal environmental footprint. The camp also supports local communities by sourcing supplies locally and offering cultural tourism that benefits surrounding villages.
