Tanzania Camps & Lodges
Olkeri Camp, Tarangire, Tanzania
A Tented Camp in Tanzania
Camp Details
Olkeri is the Maasai epithet for the Leopard, the spotted ambush hunter, one of the most emblematic inhabitants of the area. Home to great Elephant herds, this beautiful tract of wilderness, replete with views of woodlands, rocky hills, and shaded by gnarled old-growth Baobab and Acacia, offers the ultimate freedom to explore day and night.
The camp’s heart is the mess tent, the adjoining lounge tent and the outdoor fire pit. It is well-stocked, and a waiter is on call at any time to serve up a G&T or an ice-cold beer.
Dining is generally individual but can be communal if friendships are kindled at the fireplace.
Enjoy family style dining with an elegant table setup overlooking the water hole and mud bath, where diverse wildlife – ranging from elephants to lions – come to drink and bath throughout the day.
WHY CHOOSE OLKERI CAMP?
• Hemmed between seasonal rocky river beds and overlooks a wooded valley, located near a water hole with access to a mud bath.
• The area hosts large wildlife populations, particularly elephants and Buffalo.
• Available activities include night game drives, walking, and fly-camping for a truly immersive safari experience and Maasai cultural interactions.
Questions about Olkeri Camp
What can we expect to see from camp itself?
Olkeri is hemmed between seasonal rocky riverbeds overlooking a wooded valley, close to a waterhole and mud bath where elephants, lions and other wildlife come to drink and wallow through the day. Dining is set up looking over that water, so game viewing carries on between drives.
Can we do night drives and walking safaris from Olkeri?
Yes, both are part of the personal activity plan, along with fly camping, a baobab sleepout and Maasai cultural interactions. The camp is set up to explore this stretch of Tarangire by day and night rather than only on morning and afternoon drives.
What do the rates cover, and what should we budget on top?
Rates run from US$720 to US$862 per person per night depending on season, covering accommodation, all meals, a limited drinks offering, a private guide and game viewer, your activity plan, exclusive sundowners and bush dining, laundry and return transfers to Kuro airstrip. Park fees apply separately.
