Tented Camps · Northern Serengeti, Tanzania
Olakira Migration Camp - North (Jun - Oct)
Overview
Known for its superb locations during the Great Migration, Olakira Migration Camp also boasts beautiful stargazing tents with 270-degree views from your bed.
Olakira immerses itself in the Great Migration, moving twice a year to follow the herds, ensuring a front-row seat to nature’s greatest spectacle.
Between June and October, Olakira is in the north to witness the crossing of the Mara River. Here, watch thousands of wildebeest take a leap of faith into the water, facing hungry Nile crocodiles and cantankerous hippos. When the herds are on the move, the air is full of grunting, thudding hooves and billowing dust.
The nine spacious tents with en suite bathrooms and fully plumbed showers provide the perfect retreat after a day of adventure.

Stargazing at Olakira Camp, Asilia Africa
Whilst Olakira is known for its superb locations during the Migration, the camp has one more surprise that awaits you – our brand new stargazing tents. Olakira’s tents have been perfectly designed so that a portion of the tent boasts a 270-degree view from beneath a meshed net, offering you an outdoor experience whilst still remaining indoors. Our stargazing tents allow you the flexibility to roll your bed into the meshed area for a magical experience of sleeping beneath the stars. With the galaxies glittering above you while you dream about the day’s adventures – it truly is an experience that you don’t want to miss out on.

Activities
What you can do
Balloon Safari
Balloon safaris are a romantic and evocative way of experiencing the wilderness of East Africa, as you silently fly over the plains teeming with herds of wildlife in the early morning. Typically, a balloon safari begins around 6 am and lasts for around 1-2 hours. Balloon safaris (additional cost) take off from designated sites in the nearby Ndutu Area. The safari is followed by a champagne breakfast in the bush, a fitting end to a memorable flight in the wild. (At an additional cost)
Cultural Visits
Experience the wild while being able to give back to the community and experience the true life of the Tanzania inhabitants.
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.
