Olakira Migration Camp

Olakira Migration Camp follows the Great Migration in the Serengeti, moving north to Kogatende for the dramatic river crossings from June to October, and south to Ndutu for calving from December to March. This means you’ll be right in the centre of the action during both seasons. Immerse yourself in the wild as you rest in stargazing tents that open to the night sky and traverse the plains on game drives. For an unforgettable vantage point, you can also opt for a breathtaking hot-air balloon ride.

Days at Olakira revolve around exhilarating safari drives across the Serengeti’s varied landscapes, with the chance to see lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, hyenas and abundant plains wildlife alongside the famous migratory herds. Birding is excellent after the short rains and the drama of predator–prey interactions during calving season makes for thrilling encounters. Evenings invite quieter pleasures – sundowners in the bush, fireside stories under starlit skies and the unique sounds of the wild as night settles in.

Fall asleep beneath the stars while protected by the fine mesh of Olakira’s unique stargazing tents, each of which has its own en-suite bathroom and safari-style bucket showers. Wooden decks extend your living space into the outdoors, while shared lounges and dining areas create a relaxed and sociable atmosphere. Families with children aged five and older are welcome in a special family tent with two bedrooms.
