Olakira Migration Camp is a seasonal tented camp that moves between the southern and northern Serengeti depending on the time of year.

Olakira is a seasonal tented camp in the Serengeti and although the camp is still obviously a seasonal camp, it strives to offer a superior level of comfort and service that is more suitable for some clientele. Owned by Asilia Africa, who have a number of different camps across Tanzania, there is an element of corporate structure to the running of the camp, but this has the positive impact of helping to guarantee certain standards.
