At Olakira Migration Camp, the horizon shifts with the seasons—and so does your base. This mobile tented camp is a rare gem: luxurious yet lightweight, wild yet wonderfully personal. It moves with the Great Migration, positioning you in Ndutu (Southern Serengeti) from December to March for calving season and in the Northern Serengeti (near the Mara River) from June to October for dramatic river crossings.
For travelers with Eagle Soul Adventure, this is more than a stay—it’s a journey beside the wild, in rhythm with the most dramatic movement of animals on Earth.
AN INTIMATE CAMP THAT MOVES WITH PURPOSE
Unlike fixed lodges, Olakira is built to embrace motion. But that doesn’t mean you sacrifice comfort. In fact, each of the nine canvas suites is a private cocoon of serenity, fitted with:
- Mesh-covered stargazing tents , allowing clear views of the African night sky—right from your pillow.
- King-size or twin beds with premium linens
- En-suite bathrooms with flushing toilets and safari showers (hot water delivered at your preferred time)
- Wooden writing desks, woven rugs, and handmade décor from East African artisans
- Soft lighting powered by solar energy, reflecting the camp’s strong sustainability ethos
Whether you're sipping morning coffee with elephants in view or enjoying a post-drive sundowner under canvas, Olakira’s atmosphere is light, elegant, and filled with soul.
DINING THAT HONORS THE LAND
Meals at Olakira are crafted daily by an in-house chef who sources fresh, local ingredients where possible. Expect three-course dinners, fresh-baked breads, and warm afternoon snacks after game drives. Meals are served in a communal dining tent or alfresco under the stars—with warm conversation and flickering lanterns.
Special dietary requests are welcomed with advance notice—vegan, gluten-free, or paleo travelers are all thoughtfully accommodated.
MORNINGS,MAGIC & MIGRATION
From the moment you unzip your tent at dawn to the sound of zebras grunting, your day unfolds at your rhythm. With expert naturalist guides provided through Eagle Soul Adventure, your safari may include:
- Game drives twice daily , tailored to migration movements and animal behavior
- Early morning starts to catch predators in action and golden light over the plains
- Birdwatching outings , especially rich near Ndutu’s woodland and lakes
- Cultural visits to nearby Maasai communities (available on request)
- Hot air balloon flights over herds in motion (optional add-on for sunrise magic)
In the evenings, return to warm towels, chilled drinks, and the soft glow of lanterns as the bush begins to hum with night sounds. Gather around the campfire as stories are shared, drinks are poured, and stars scatter overhead.

WHY OLAKIRA MIGRATION CAMP IS EXCEPTIONAL
Olakira seamlessly blends the authenticity of a bush experience with understated luxury. With just nine en-suite tents, each featuring open-plan “stargazing” sleeping areas, the camp offers an immersive, close-to-nature experience without sacrificing privacy or elegance. You’ll wake to the calls of the wild, dine under endless skies, and fall asleep beneath a canopy of stars—all while resting on comfortable bedding, enjoying thoughtful service, and savoring meals that reflect East African flavors with gourmet flair.
This is a camp that adapts to the migration's pulse:
-
From December to March, Olakira is based in the Ndutu region of the Southern Serengeti, during the calving season. This is a remarkable time when wildebeest give birth and predators are active.
-
From June to October, the camp moves north near the Mara River. This is the season of dramatic river crossings and high-density wildlife interactions, especially with big cats and crocodiles.
Let Eagle Soul Adventure craft your migration story with Olakira as the heartbeat—pairing it with our handpicked guides, cultural immersion, and off-the-beaten-path experiences for a Serengeti journey that lives in your soul.
