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.
