Location and surroundings
From December to March, Olakira Camp Asilia Africa stands in the Ndutu region, at the transition between the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the southern Serengeti. The area is known for its high concentrations of wildlife during the calving season: wide savannahs, acacias and open plains define the landscape, and game drives begin directly at the camp. It is a 20-minute drive from the Ndutu Airstrip to the camp. From June to October, the camp stands in the north of the Serengeti (Bologonja area), where you can reach it from the Kogatende Airstrip in a 45-minute drive; in April, May and November the camp is closed.
