EXPERIENCE OLAKIRA
The annual Serengeti Wildebeest Migration is, quite simply, a drama in two acts: the dramatic dash for freedom as the herds cross the deadly Mara River on their march from Kenya, and the remarkable months of calving in the lush grasslands of the south. And with Olakira Camp itself migrating twice per year, you’ll always have a front-row seat to the action.
With the expertise of top guides, the camp has year round access to the finest areas in the Serengeti for game viewing. Game drives are the main activity at Olakira Camp with walking safaris being exceptionally popular when the camp is in the south during December to March.
In the evening, guests gravitate towards the campfire to reflect on the day’s adventures. Here under the Serengeti stars, the friendliest staff share stories and serve a delicious dinner few would imagine possible in the middle of the wilderness.
Game Drives
Wildlife viewing and bird watching game drives are offered twice per day. Experienced guides encourage guests to see and experience the Serengeti through their eyes, sharing a world of small and large wonders that only they truly know and understand. Guests can arrange full days in the bush with picnic lunches or shorter excursions returning to enjoy the tranquility of camp.
Walking Safari
Walking safaris are offered during December to March when Olakira Camp is in the south. Officially situated inside the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area (NCCA), it allows Olakira’s highly trained guides to offer walking safaris within the NCCA while game drives take place in the NCCA and across the border in the southern Serengeti.
The privilege of walking in this area gives you an exhilarating feeling of adventure. Although you'll usually get close to large mammals such as elephant, giraffe, buffalo or even lion, walking safaris are very safe. The experienced guides of Olakira Camp and armed national park rangers will accompany you on every walk. Walking safaris can take an hour or a whole morning or afternoon.

Olakira Camp featured in Conde Nast Traveller Magazine
31 January 2012
About Olakira Camp:
“The short rains begin around early November. A little after this, in late November and December, the herds of the wildebeest migration arrive on the short-grass plains of the Serengeti. The grass here is sprouting, fresh and particularly nutritious thanks to the layers of phosphorous-rich volcanic ash which has been deposited here over millennia. These grasslands of the Southern Plains offer exceptional grazing - south and east of Seronera, around Ndutu and including the north side of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.”
