Plan your safari

Olakira moves twice a year to the migration’s two great theaters: the Mara River country in crossing season, the Ndutu plains for the calving — and its signature is what happens after dark: each tent’s netted “stargazer” sleep-out lets you roll your bed under the full southern sky.

Asilia’s conservation-first culture runs it: superb guides, light footprint, and a camp warmth that has made Olakira one of the Serengeti’s most rebooked addresses.

The honest pitch

Why book Olakira Migration Camp through NndeeAfrika

You never pay more than booking direct — usually less. And everything around your stay is handled.

01

A better rate, more safari

As a trade partner we access preferred rates and seasonal offers the camp doesn’t always publish — you’ll never pay more than booking direct. And a camp can only sell its own beds; we build the journey around it: international flights, permits, the right nights, and where you go next.

02

Door-to-door, no gaps

A private car waiting at Kilimanjaro airport, transfers timed to your route, and a guide who already knows your name. Book direct and the gaps become your problem; book with us and there are none.

03

We know this camp personally

We know both of Olakira’s seasonal homes and the weeks each performs best — and how to pair its canvas with a permanent lodge for the complete circuit.

04

One call if anything changes

A missed flight, a weather delay, a change of heart mid-trip — you contact one person, and we re-arrange everything behind the scenes. The camp looks after you on property; we look after the whole journey.
