After breakfast, depart camp with a packed lunch and make your way towards the airstrip to begin your journey across the border into the Serengeti in Tanzania. You will fly to Migori near the border, where a driver and vehicle will meet you and drive you across the land border, stopping to complete immigration formalities. From there it’s a short distance to Tarime on the Tanzania side, to arrive in time for your flight into the Serengeti. Upon landing at Kogatende, you’ll be whisked away to Olakira Seasonal Camp, your haven for the next four nights.
Nestled in the heart of the Serengeti’s pristine wilderness, Olakira Camp provides a luxurious and authentic safari experience that allows you to witness the breathtaking natural phenomenon of millions of wildebeest, zebras, and other wildlife as they traverse the Serengeti plains.
The camp consists of spacious and beautifully designed tents that blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment. Each tent features comfortable beds, en-suite bathrooms with hot showers, and a private veranda that overlooks the vast plains of the Serengeti. The elegant interiors are adorned with stylish furnishings, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere amidst the untamed wilderness.
The primary draw of Olakira Camp is its proximity to the Great Migration. Depending on the time of year, the camp is strategically positioned to offer unparalleled views of the migrating herds. Witnessing the dramatic river crossings, where thousands of wildebeest and zebras brave crocodile-infested waters, is a sight that will leave you in awe of nature’s power and resilience.
Game drives at Olakira put you right in the thick of wildlife activity. The camp’s expert guides lead thrilling game drives that take you to the heart of the action, ensuring unforgettable wildlife encounters and the opportunity to capture breathtaking photographs.
In addition to game drives, Olakira Camp offers guided walking safaris and options to visit a local community or enjoy a Hot Air Balloon excursion.
