Olkarien Eco Safari Camp – Northern Serengeti
Raw Beauty, Deep Connection, True Wilderness

A Sustainable Sanctuary at the Edge of the Wild

Tucked near the remote Olkarien Gorge in Tanzania’s Northern Serengeti, Olkarien Eco Safari Camp is a soulful retreat designed for nature lovers, adventurers, and conscious travelers. Here, the Serengeti reveals its most untouched self—rugged, majestic, and alive with possibility. From the thunderous movements of the Great Migration to the quiet presence of nesting vultures along the cliffs, every moment is a testament to nature’s grandeur and grace.

Olkarien Eco Safari Camp invites you to experience safari as it once was—raw yet refined, immersive yet intentional, simple yet spectacular.


Eco-Luxury Reimagined – Living Lightly in the Landscape

Built with reverence for the land and designed to disappear into it, the camp is a model of sustainable comfort. Each tent is a minimalist haven, placing you close to nature without compromising on warmth or rest:

  • Comfortable canvas tents with cozy beds, natural fiber linens, and local artisan accents

  • Private decks offering front-row views of the gorge, plains, or dramatic escarpments

  • Eco-friendly en-suite bathrooms with composting toilets and solar-heated bucket showers

  • Solar-powered lighting and water systems to minimize environmental impact

  • Design that prioritizes ventilation, serenity, and a sense of place

Whether waking to birdsong or gazing at a star-filled sky, your stay is shaped by rhythm, respect, and real connection.


Authentic Safari Adventures – Untamed, Unscripted, Unforgettable

Olkarien Eco Safari Camp offers a unique vantage point for wildlife lovers and conservation-minded explorers. This is not mass tourism—it’s an intimate, meaningful journey through one of East Africa’s most biodiverse corners:

  • Game drives across the Northern Serengeti’s remote valleys and migration routes

  • Close proximity to the Great Migration’s dramatic Mara River crossings (seasonal)

  • Guided walking safaris in the Olkarien Gorge and adjacent highlands

  • Opportunities to observe rare species like Rüppell’s vultures and klipspringers

  • Deep storytelling from local guides who share ecological insights and ancestral knowledge

At Olkarien, you don’t just witness the wild—you become part of its ongoing story.


Bush Dining – Simple, Seasonal, and Soulful

Food at Olkarien Eco Safari Camp is wholesome, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared to honor both health and heritage. Meals are shared in communal spaces or in nature, creating a sense of community and belonging:

  • Daily menus inspired by local ingredients and global simplicity

  • Picnic breakfasts, open-air lunches, and candlelit dinners under the acacia trees

  • Freshly baked breads, hand-ground spices, and lovingly prepared vegetarian options

  • Locally sourced beverages, herbal teas, and chilled sundowners

  • Personalized meal options based on dietary preferences and wellness needs

Here, nourishment feeds both body and spirit.


A Place Apart – Remote, Responsible, Remarkable

Olkarien Eco Safari Camp is set far from the Serengeti’s tourist corridors, offering a raw and peaceful experience that favors slow travel and genuine immersion:

  • Perched near the dramatic cliffs of Olkarien Gorge, a vital nesting site for birds of prey

  • Access to seasonal migration activity and rich predator-prey interactions

  • Low-footprint camp infrastructure blending seamlessly with the natural terrain

  • Operated in close partnership with local Maasai communities and conservation groups

  • Ideal for conscious travelers seeking meaning, solitude, and authenticity

It’s a safari for those who value experience over extravagance—and presence over performance.

Uforgetable 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!

Words 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 :)

Amazing 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.

Kilimanjaro day hike materuni waterfall and hotspring "Thrilled with the Kilimanjaro private day hike to Materuni Waterfall and Hot Spring by Kilipath African Safaris! Seamless logistics, a personalized guide, and stunning landscapes made it a highlight of my Tanzanian journey. Materuni Waterfall and the soothing hot spring were an unbeatable combo. Highly recommend Kilipath African Safaris for an enriching blend of nature and culture in Kilimanjaro's heart!"
