Olmara Camp

Experience & Activities   

Located in Soit Le Motonyi, Olmara Camp, by Entara, has been established in the far eastern plains of the Serengeti, a remote and wildlife-filled pocket lying at the crossroads of the endless grassy plains and the woodlands. ‘Olmara’ is the Maasai epithet for the ‘cheetah,’ the great dotted cat, one of the most emblematic of the area’s inhabitants. 

With its isolated location, the camp takes full advantage of the African night skies. Three tents have been designed as stargazer tents; large open rooftops where you may comfortably recline on large cushions and fall asleep beneath a natural planetarium. The evenings are beautiful with the borderless flow of clarity from the glowing moon to glittering stars, flickering planets, and a swish of the milky way: the vast, seemingly emptiness beyond stretched out for infinity; glorious and mesmerizing.  

The dining and lounge area is located in the centre of the camp, the meeting point for exciting stories and meals by the campfire. Share your experiences with friends and family with the satellite wifi connection.  

The camp itself is permanently positioned throughout the year. Freshwater is collected from wells within the national park and solar panels provide the electricity for lighting and camp operations. Careful attention is placed on environmentally-friendly water drainage and habitat impact. Each tented suite is spaced for privacy. 

Accommodations         

Olmara camp offers eight tents designed to merge with the eco-environment, all under canvas, with expansive views of the wilderness ahead. Each tented suite contains a lounge cove with comfortable couches and coffee tables, a dressing area with handcrafted cupboards, a net-draped king-size bed with bedside tables and lamps, a writing desk, full-length wall mirror, and soft carpets laid over teak floors to wander along. The suite flows into an ensuite shower, double-hand basins, and a flushing toilet. 

Two tents welcome families of up to 4 in inter-connected suites with a private lounge to kick back, read, chat, write, or play games. 

Olmara Fly-Camp 

Fly camping is an overnight experience that places guests in the wilderness with a simple camp. It allows you to be immersed in the African savannah’s sounds at night and appreciate the magnificent African skies. Enjoy sitting around a campfire at night to share meals and stories of African adventures. 

A back-to-basics camp does not mean a lack of comfort. A few luxuries are added, such as lovely soft duvets and down pillows. Dining is generous, wholesome, and served with a cold beer or a glass of wine.
