We’re of the same blood,
you and I
In the vast expanse of the Serengeti, one feels a unique connection with nature. Here, the hustle and bustle of everyday life fades away, and a primal desire to become one with the wild takes over. Long-forgotten instincts awaken, and even the most hardened city dweller can hear the quiet call: “We’re of the same blood, you and I.”
The Serengeti is home to over 3,000 lions – the largest population in Africa. The Serengeti contains elephants, giraffes, wildebeests, leopards, zebras, rhinos, gazelles, buffalo, and cheetahs; this area represents the entire fauna of the African continent. And each has its own role to play.
The Serengeti is a stage, and the animals are its actors. Some animals play leading roles, others supporting ones, and some remain silent extras, but each occupies its rightful place. The majestic, measured movement of the grand, living mosaic—the genuine wonder of nature, the Great Migration—will be disrupted if even one animal forgets its role or leaves the Serengeti.
Wildebeests, zebras, lions, leopards, and hyenas swirl in a dance as ancient as life itself, with an almost leisurely air. Zebras and wildebeests race in circles, following the rains, while predators follow close behind, eager to snatch their share – because discipline here is strict. Only within their own territory are hunters allowed to hunt. Once a herd of antelope or zebras crosses the boundary, the landowner can only watch them go with hungry eyes.
The stage of the Great Migration you’ll witness depends on when you arrive. In January, the herds approach the southern part of the park to give birth.
In February, the southern Serengeti turns into a nursery – sometimes 7-8 thousand newborns arrive per day. Not all of them survive; they’re easy prey. In March, the antelopes move southwest – the young ones are still too weak.
In April-May, the herds pick up speed and head north, moving along the western border of the Serengeti, passing through the lion’s kingdom – the area where most of the park’s lions live.
June-July is the wildebeests’ mating season. During this time, the herds cross the Grumeti River – a colorful but challenging sight to behold, as this is the park’s most remote area, bordering Kenya.
August-September is the most intense period – the crossing of the Mara River, which flows along the border of two countries – Kenya and Tanzania – and two reserves – Maasai Mara and Serengeti. Therefore, those who want to witness this moment of the Great Migration head to Maasai Mara.
The wildebeest’s return to the lush northern Serengeti pastures occurs in October. South again is where they head in November. By December, they reach the southern edge, and the great cycle starts over.
Africa is first and foremost the wild animal world of the national parks, each of which is unique.

A sense of extraterrestrial civilization
Five times a year – the number of stages of the Great Migration – the camp moves from place to place, so there’s plenty to see whenever you come here. The simple canvas tents are decorated with true oriental luxury: fluffy carpets, fine chandeliers, soft sofas, tables set with silver and crystal, huge beds. The cuisine and beverages are beyond praise, and a caring personal butler will make sure that everything from the morning tea to the ashtray on the table is done and placed just the way you like it.
Perched atop a commanding rise, the lodge offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding terrain. Elephants at the watering hole, predators on the hunt, grazing antelope – all of this unfolds before your eyes, whether you’re relaxing in your room, unwinding at the bar, or soaking up the sun by the pool. The rooms have spotlights, and we’ve hooked up a television to a camera that focuses on the watering hole, letting you experience the savanna’s drama from your suite. Here, they cater to every guest’s individual tastes and desires.

Each room is a private luxury tented tent on stilts. For you a huge four-poster bed, a whirlpool bathtub and a personal butler. The cuisine is worthy of the best chefs in Europe. All meals can be served either in the main restaurant or on your own veranda or in the garden. Spa treatments are performed using the finest natural oils – baobab or South African fynbos. Kemp welcomes all year round, but the best time to visit and watch the Great Migration is from August to October.

At Olakira Migration Camp, the African sky is your roof. The thin but sturdy netting of the tent allows you to gaze at it as long as you like. And when astronomical observations get boring, you can spend time around the campfire with delicious food and pleasant conversation. Days in the camp are even more interesting. From June to November you can see the most dramatic episode of the Great Migration – the crossing of gnu and zebras across several deep lakes.
