Location:
 |
Olakira Camp is a mobile
tented camp that moves through the southern and central Serengeti, in
areas of great wildlife concentration. From December to March, the
camp is in the southern Serengeti, or Ndutu area. Here are the famous
Serengeti plains - endless grasslands where lion and cheetah find
perfect hunting grounds. The December to March period is the magical
time when the Great Migration takes over the Ndutu plains to give
birth to the next generation.
The camp moves up to the central Serengeti from June to November,
where the concentration of animals is denser at this time. The central
Serengeti valley offers varied landscapes and a very high density of
game year round. During these months, you can sneak up on the animals
from above with a balloon flight over the Serengeti from Olakira Camp.
The Serengeti hosts the largest concentration of wildlife in the
world, and is home to one of the great wonders in the world, the Great
Migration. Over a million wildebeest and some 600,000 zebra move
through the eco-system, with lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena, wild dog
and crocodile making sure only the strongest survive. The sheer volume
combined with the daily dramas of life and death make this an
experience that will be the star of the stories you tell years and
years from now. |

Accommodation / Facilities:
Olakira Camp is an
intimate mobile tented camp of 6 guest tents and 2 common area tents.
'Olakira' means 'star' in Maasai and with its sister camp, Sayari, on
the Mara River, they cover the best areas of the vast Serengeti
National Park. Whilst the mobile nature of Olakira Camp allows it to
move to the densest concentrations of wildlife, it manages to surprise
with its spaciousness and comfort. Large beds, wide private verandas,
convenient bathroom facilities, a great lounge area and wonderful food
served under the Serengeti stars ensure total well-being.
A stay in Olakira Camp is not about 5 star luxury though. It's about
something more than that. Being in the middle of this wonderful
spectacle, with wild animals roaming around camp at night, is a dream
come true to even the most experienced of travelers. |

Guest tents
The guest tents are spacious and
comfortable with large king-size or twin beds and convenient
bathrooms. Each tent has its own private verandah with an amazing view
overlooking the Serengeti. Bathrooms are extremely comfortable for a
mobile camp, with shower, wash basin and an environmentally friendly
toilet.
Common area
Central to the camp are two common
tents that are open to the surrounding nature. When the camp is
occupied by multiple small groups, one tent will serve as a dining
tent and the other one as a lounge, where drinks are served and safari
stories are shared. When a larger group (e.g., 8 people) visits the
camp, one of the common tents can be made the exclusive
lounging/dining tent for that group. The other tent will then be set
up as a lounging/dining tent for the other guests. Fantastic meals are
served in the dining tent or in a private location: your own veranda
or under the Serengeti stars. |

Game
Viewing /Activities:
 |
The southern and central
Serengeti areas are renowned for fabulous wildlife viewing. Drives in
these areas, short trips or full day explorations give you close
encounters with astonishing numbers of animals. Lunch in the bush
while enjoying an amazing view and delicious food and wine, is a
welcome interruption to otherwise action packed days.
Olakira Camp operates from June to December in the central Serengeti.
Here, balloon safaris give you the unique experience of observing the
animals, and the Serengeti landscapes from above.
Back in camp, story telling, playing chess, star gazing or simply
listening to the great sounds of the bush are some of the activities
you can enjoy back in the comfort of the intimate Olakira Camp. |
