As the wildebeest migrate across the Serengeti plains, Olakira Camp, a compact and welcoming tented camp, follows them. For a few months every year, this camp is spread out over two different locations, allowing visitors to get a close-up look at the drama of the wildlife. In the Ndutu region, visitors can see wildebeest giving birth, while in the northern location, they can see herds crossing the Mara River, which is teeming with crocodiles. In the mornings and afternoons, guests can take part in game drives to look for the impressive wildlife of the Serengeti, and they can unwind by the campfire at night while exchanging sightings-related tales.
