The camp is situated to optimize your time on safari. Just 14 miles (23 km) from the Seronera Airstrip, the wildlife experience starts on arrival. The surrounding landscape is reminiscent of “Out of Africa”, with flat-topped acacias and passing wildlife dotting the plains at the foot of the Makoma hills. During the Great Migration, you are ideally placed to witness the spectacle.
From the welcome song on arrival to the attention to detail and personal touches in your safari tent, you will feel both welcome and pampered during your stay with us. The experience we offer exemplifies both the romance and the adventure of a true African safari. Our staff are as passionate about hospitality as they are about sharing the wonders of Africa and her wildlife.
The camp offers a relaxing space where you can enhance your sense of connection. Our family-friendly ethos means all are welcome. The social spaces and meal times are an opportunity to forge new friendships. And our location in the heart of the wilderness invites you to connect with yourself and the restorative magic of Nature.
The camp is the ideal base from which to explore the central Serengeti. Built with your comfort and sense of immersion into the surrounding landscape in mind, the luxurious accommodation and facilities invite you to relax and savor the best of the African safari experience. Our friendly staff are dedicated to ensuring that your stay is hassle-free and rich in memories.
The 17 spacious safari tents offer privacy and appreciation of the surrounding savanna landscape, decorated with warm, African style. With a wraparound deck, comfortable indoor seating, veiled four-poster bed, and an en-suite bathroom, you are assured of a most rejuvenating experience.
This is the Serengeti’s classic activity and not one to be missed. Learn all about the Serengeti’s diverse and abundant wildlife, including the Big 5 (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, rhino) from expert guides whose innate understanding of animal behavior ensures an up-close-and-personal experience you won’t forget.
Let the overwhelming influx of sights, sounds, scents and sensations of this ancient land re-awaken your primal being. Be it the rich tones painted across each dawn’s horizon, the chant of Maasai song, the aroma of African fusion cuisine, or the serenity of your own quiet reflections – Olkarien Eco Safari Camp will inspire your soul.
Drift over the herds of the Great Migration in a hot air balloon. Be welcomed at a Maasai manyatta, for a glimpse into an ancient culture. Hold your breath and predator and prey face-off in their quest for survival. Share in the majesty of Africa’s wildlife, scenery and rich cultural heritage.
We invite you to indulge in a bit of pampering in the care of our trained massage therapists. Using a blend of African and traditional massage practices, your body will rejoice in their rejuvenating care.
Your tastebuds will celebrate the array of delectable treats on offer, to be enjoyed at scenic picnic spots. Our kitchen has got the packed picnic lunch down to a fine art.
No evening on safari would be complete without the crackle and warmth of a roaring bonfire. Dubbed the ‘bush TV’, you’ll be mesmerized as you are serenaded by the other sounds of the African night.

EXCELLENT Based on 408 reviews Charlotte B2023-10-25 Parfait ! Accueil à la fois luxueux et très chaleureux, au cœur de la réserve, avec les rugissements de lion en s'endormant...Tentes très confortables, restaurant très bon, serveur/ses attentionnés. Nous étions un groupe de 8 dont 2 enfants. Parfait ! Ashley H2023-10-20 Perfect accommodations for friends trip I stayed at Acacia Serengeti back in August, during the dry season and truly loved this resort! The staff and service was really considerate and we loved the chef and her food! We even got a special lunch one day and it was this amazing chicken with a peanut sauce. Our driver, Walter, ate dinner with us each night and was great company! We were 3 friends from college traveling together and we got our own queens even though we expected twins so that was a huge plus! Would definitely go back and stay at this resort. Cecilia V2023-08-31 Magica emozione Abbiamo trascorso 2 notti in questo campo tendato, è stato fantastico! Le tende sono pulitissime, grandi, con letti enormi e comodissimi forniti di zanzariere (io sono stata ad agosto, per la Tanzania periodo invernale e non ho visto una zanzara). All’interna della tenda ci sono water e doccia. Come essere a casa … quasi ☺️. Cene e colazioni ricche. Personale molto disponibile. Ma la cosa magica del campo tendato è andare a dormire con un branco di decine di zebre a pochi metri, che poi durante la notte vengono a brucare attorno alle tende. Sentire i movimenti degli animali e sentirsi al sicuro, una grande emozione. Non si può fare un safari e non dormine in campi tendati, l’Acacia è consigliatissimo! Elizabeth C2023-08-28 Acacia Rongai & Acacia Mara My husband and I had a wonderful stay at both Acaia’s Rongai & Mara Camps! Rongai: location was well located in central Sergenti with beautiful sunset views. We stayed here two non-consecutive nights, so we stayed in two different tents, both which were wonderful. The rooms were fully furnished with comfortable beds, bedding, towels, and toiletries. The full bathroom with private, flushing toilet rooms, and hot bucket shower were wonderful to have after a dusty safari day. The food at the restaurant was fresh and delicious. I have unique dietary restrictions (low-FODMAP) that the entire staff made sure to custom accommodate for all my meals. The entire staff was especially warm and friendly. Mara: we stayed here one night in between our two nights at Rongai. It has all the same great features and I have the same comments as the Rongai camp except that the food was a little less good (could have just been our options that day), and the bathroom was a little less well-appointed (shower curtain for toilet room privacy rather than wood door line Rongai, more utilitarian looking than nicely designed), but honestly without comparing the two Mara was still an incredibly comfortable stay. The manager was SO friendly at Mara. It also was my birthday during our stay and the whole staff did a lovely dance parade and cake for me to celebrate! So incredibly thoughtful. All in all, highly recommend both camps! Eric W2023-07-29 Great experience The service is excellent and the staff is so helpful and nice. We need hair dryer and they deliver it quickly to our room. All necessary equipments have been provided. The food here is very good and we enjoy the meals here so much. Dörte Z2023-07-21 Magisch!!! Ein wunderschönes Erlebnis diese Lodge. Wir waren 3 Tage als Paar in der zentralen Serengeti und haben hier übernachtet. Unser Logdezelt nannte sich Tanzanite. Als wir nach einem anstrengenden, aber aufregenden schönen Tag hier ankamen, wurden wir so sehr herzlich mit einem wundervollen Volkslied begrüßt, eine Erfrischung gereicht. Man hat uns, in der luxuriösen Bar alles erklärt. Beispielsweise wie es mit den Duschen und dem Walki Talki funktioniert, das man braucht um im Dunkeln vom Personal abgeholt zu werden oder anderweitig Hilfe benötigt. Ein ganz besonderer Service. Das Abendessen und das Frühstück waren ausgezeichnet. Ein gemütliches Lagerfeuer sorgt für einen rundum romantischen Abend. Die Bar war sehr gut ausgestattet und die Lunchpakete frisch und gut. Die Ausstattung des Zeltes ist sehr luxuriös und großzügig. Ein tolles Badezimmer, wunderbares komfortables Himmelbett. Am Morgen stand eine Giraffe direkt vor unserem Zelt. Ein Traum! Ein besonderes Dankeschön gilt dem überaus freundlichen und zuvorkommenden Personal der Lodge. Wir können dieses Camp nur weiterempfehlen. Corine M2023-06-24 Authentic and fantastic!!! My stay was amazing! It is right in the Serengeti reserve and our tent was just a mile from where we sighted a leopard running up the hill! The “tent” was luxurious with a full size bed and flushing toilets and inside shower with hot water! Our safety was ensured. The dinner was very authentic and plentiful. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful- thank you Jeffrey for your joyful welcome! Colten J2023-06-15 Honeymoon in the Serengeti We had an amazing 3 night stay! The food, people, and view of the Serengeti were all amazing. We loved falling asleep to the sounds of nature and couldn’t have asked for a better stay. We could even hear hyenas and lions at night which was such a cool experience. Martina C2023-06-09 Amazing experience! The place is amazing! Lovely staff and delicious traditional and international food! Facilities are very comfortable and clean! You can enjoy the best sunset and sunrise in Segerengeti! A true Tanzanian experience, we had a great time! Highly recommended!!!
