About Olmara Camp

Hidden in the eastern plains, where big cats rule and tourist vehicles are scarce, eight elegant tented suites nestle among ancient acacias overlooking the savannah. Lions sprawl on sun-warmed kopjes, leopards lurk in riverine valleys, and some of Africa's finest cheetah sightings unfold before your eyes. Three stargazer accommodations and permanent water sources complete this wildlife haven, where everything from mighty elephants to dainty serval cats roam freely.

The Serengeti National Park is an ecologically rich environment and home to vast herds of wildebeest, zebra, Thomson's gazelle and buffalo grazing on the sweet grasses of the savannah. Even after the Great Migration has moved through, the game viewing is exceptional in this region. The predators are never far off, with cheetah and lion in abundance and leopard readily seen in the Seronera region of the Central Serengeti. Enjoy expansive grasslands, acacia thickets, meru kopjes (granitic hills) and riverine forests.
