Olakira Migration Camp
Experience the wonders of the Great Migration at Olakira Migration Camp. Witness the thunderous winter river crossings as wildebeest bravely navigate the northern rivers, or marvel at the mass summer calving on the lush southern plains.
Olakira moves with the great wildebeest herds, setting up in two breathtaking locations within Serengeti National Park and the Ndutu region. From December to March, the camp is based in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA), offering game drives that explore both the NCA and the southern Serengeti. This prime location provides frequent sightings of big cats, elephants, buffalo, and even the elusive African wild dog. As the dry winter months approach, Olakira relocates north to the meeting point of the Mara and Bolongonja rivers, offering front-row seats to remarkable game viewing along the Mara River.
While Olakira is celebrated for its incredible Migration locations, it also offers a unique feature: its brand-new stargazing tents. These tents are expertly designed with a portion featuring a 270-degree view through a meshed net, allowing for an unparalleled outdoor experience while staying comfortably indoors. For an unforgettable night, you can roll your bed into the meshed area and sleep beneath the glittering stars, letting the galaxies above inspire dreams of your day’s adventures. It’s an extraordinary experience you won’t want to miss.
Olakira’s nine tents blend modern comfort with the timeless charm of East Africa. Each tent features a king-sized bed (twin beds are also available) dressed in luxurious linens, a shaded veranda with a cozy chaise lounge, and an ensuite bathroom complete with a dressing area, hot-water safari bucket showers, and flushing toilets.
While Olakira is renowned for its exceptional locations during the Migration, it also offers a unique feature: the innovative stargazing tents. These specially designed tents include a section with a 270-degree view through a meshed net, allowing you to enjoy the outdoors while remaining indoors. For a truly magical experience, you can roll your bed into the meshed area and sleep beneath the starry sky. With the galaxies shimmering above, you’ll drift off while dreaming of your adventures—an unforgettable experience not to be missed.
