Olmara Camp

Olmara Camp

Olmara Camp, formerly known as Ehlane Plains Camp, is a luxurious and intimate safari retreat set in the remote Soit le Motonyi region of eastern Serengeti, Tanzania. This exclusive location is far from the well trodden tourist circuits, offering a pristine wilderness experience in one of the most wildlife rich areas of the Serengeti. The camp is especially famed for exceptional big cat sightings, lion prides, elusive leopards, agile cheetahs, and even the rarely seen serval cats thrive in this unspoiled terrain.

Designed with a strong eco-conscious philosophy, Olmara Camp blends seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. The spacious canvas tents are thoughtfully spaced for privacy and panoramic views, and some come with stargazing decks or open rooftops for guests to sleep under the night sky. Materials are locally sourced, and the camp runs entirely on solar power, minimizing its environmental footprint without compromising on comfort or style. Elegant touches such as king-size beds, en-suite bathrooms, and cozy lounges provide a luxurious contrast to the wild outdoors.

Olmara Camp offers a highly personalized safari experience with expert guides leading daily game drives and walking safaris. The remoteness of the camp ensures low vehicle density, making wildlife encounters more exclusive and undisturbed. Whether you’re watching a pride of lions at dawn, enjoying sundowners on the open plains, or listening to the calls of the wild from your tent at night, Olmara delivers an immersive safari unlike any other, perfect for adventurers, honeymooners, and seasoned safari-goers alike.
