Olakira Migration Camp – Follow the Herd, Find the Magic
By Asilia Africa
Every year, millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles move across the Serengeti in one of Earth’s greatest natural spectacles—the Great Migration. At the heart of this ancient rhythm is Olakira Migration Camp, a mobile luxury camp that shifts with the herds, placing you at the center of the action whether it’s the thrilling river crossings in the north or the dramatic calving season in the south.
A Camp That Moves with the Migration
From December to March, Olakira settles in the Ndutu region of the southern Serengeti, where life begins. This is calving season—an awe-inspiring time when wildebeest give birth to thousands of young amidst a landscape pulsing with new life and ever-present predators.
From June to October, the camp relocates to Kogatende in the northern Serengeti, where dramatic Mara River crossings take center stage. Crocodiles lie in wait, lions linger in the tall grass, and the stakes are survival.
At Olakira, you’re not just witnessing the Migration—you’re living it.
✔ Prime locations for calving and river crossings
✔ Expert guiding from some of Tanzania’s best safari minds
✔ Intimate, exclusive experience close to all the action
Luxury Under Canvas, Inspired by the Wild
Olakira Migration Camp redefines mobile camping with refined elegance and thoughtful touches that never disconnect you from the wilderness.
• Spacious tents with plush bedding, solar lighting, and panoramic mesh sides for stargazing from your bed
• En-suite bathrooms with eco-friendly flush toilets and safari bucket showers
• Star domes in select tents let you sleep under the African sky without leaving your comfort zone

Would like to use them again.
KATJAJENI2024-02-15Uforgetable safari 5/5 We had been communicating on Whatsapp from my home country. They prepared various options at my request and were very responsive and kind. After arriving in Arusha, they picked us up at our hotel and left us at Kilimanjaro Airport as per our request. The safari was amazing! The lodges exceeded expectations, and the food there was also nice. The tour guide was so kind and fun, making the experience truly enjoyable. We saw all the Big Five and many other animals! It was an unforgettable experience!
Eva L2024-02-14Best safari It was great traveling with kilipath African safaris. They were amazing. My friend was unfortunately sick most of the safari, but the staff was very understanding and helped us a lot! Plus the food was so so delicious
Baasit K2024-02-07Words cannot explain how amazing this experience is Lovely/amazing/once in a life time/crazy/incredible… words cannot justify the experience that we have had with this tour, a gentleman called felix is who we booked our safari with and he picked us up personally from the airport and took us to our first hotel for the night in arush he was lovely and very kid hearted and hospitable, our driver was also very nice and very educated and alert to make sure we didn’t miss out on any of the amazing animals… and we saw lots, antelope/zebras/wild beasts/lions/rhinos/elephants/giraffes just to name a few… the camp site looked amazing however we had booked tented lodges before hand and regretted it incredibly when we had seen the camp sites but non the less the tented camps were also amazing, the food was incredible both on the safari and in the lodges and it was nice to have picnics with the group, I would 10000% advise you to book with these guys as just a recommendation is not enough, I hope to be back in the near future and will be booking with these guys again :)
Haleema H2024-02-07The best experience of my life This tour was absolutely amazing!! Our guide felix was absolutely amazing he made us super happy. The experience was far better than we thought and we got to see all big 5 and the migration of the zebras and wildbeast.
Allyson Phillip2024-01-30Amazing Day To Climbing Mountain Kilimanjaro My husband and I reserved a one-day hike to Mandara Hut on Kilimanjaro with our guide, Mr. Joel. He picked us up from the hotel at 6 am and returned us by 8 pm. Mr. Joel ensured our comfort throughout the day, attending to all our needs during the hike. We highly recommend him to anyone considering a Kilimanjaro trek.
