Olakira Camp: The staff here works very hard, simple food, but good. For camping, we still had a full proper bed. We were impressed that they have "running" water in the tents, but some customers were unhappy with the bucket showers.
For us the change in accommodations was great, gave us a taste of all

Olakira was by far the best experience of our whole trip. The staff were spectacular, the accommodations great, the atmosphere family-like and the food and drinks were amazing.

Jambo! In a word, the trip was fantastic. The driver-guide was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and certainly added a lot of value to the trip. The Olakira tented camps were fantastic, the quality of the accomodation far exceeded our expectations and the staff could not do enough for us.

Every overnight accommodation was at least very good and all the way to a the safari tent experience of my dreams. The Olakari camp was more rustic, but so close to nature and the animals and it was difficult to imagine you were in mobile tents.

My expectations were completely met with the Olakira Lodge. That WAS the highlight for me. No fences and real tents but with bathrooms that worked!!! The staff was amazing as was the food (actually the best food on the whole trip was from Olakira). Each safari from there left us in awe and the best part; the vehicle was not restricted to following tracks. It felt like a safari of "old", at least the safari of old from my imagination. And Yes, we did have animals around our tents at night!!!

This camp has definitely been our favorite one! It was managed in a very good way by Pascal and the tents were the best ones we have ever experienced.

TANZANIA WAS SUPER!!! We really had a great time. The tented camps and lodges you chose were very nice with good service, the parks we went to were a great choice. Great mixture too! Taking our own jeep and guide was good advice! We had quite some rain, but it never bothered us except that it spoiled our Fly Camp. A pity, but this was quickly forgotten thanks to the fact that we saw lots of animals. Great safaris, honestly.

Very Positive experiences. The manager was good. Staff very friendly. Nice sunrise and distant views of wild life from the window of our tent. Easy to get adjusted to the toilets and shower routines. Coffee at the tent in the morning was a nice touch. Group Campfire was memorable.
-
In truth, we really enjoyed the camping experience, because of the happy hours around the campfire before dinner. The happy hour gave us a chance to meet with other tourists, exchange stories with each other and enjoy a dinner together. All of the campsites and lodges had their own charm, and we thought that the staff in each place were very friendly and helpful to us.

I was completely blown away by the Serengeti, the camp at Olakira and the staff, and East Africa in general. I've definitely "caught the Africa travel bug" and correct people when they tell me it's a once in a lifetime experience - it will be more than once for me - I'd go back anytime! Or, perhaps once the credit card is paid off :)
