About Olmara Camp

An intimate wilderness escape in prime big cat territory.
Hidden in the eastern plains, where big cats rule and tourist vehicles are scarce, eight elegant tented suites nestle among ancient acacias overlooking the savannah. Lions sprawl on sun-warmed kopjes, leopards lurk in riverine valleys, and some of Africa's finest cheetah sightings unfold before your eyes. Three stargazer accommodations and permanent water sources complete this wildlife haven, where everything from mighty elephants to dainty serval cats roam freely.

Property details

The property

The main area brings elegance to the bush, with an open-sided lounge perfect for between-safari relaxation. Squashy sofas invite afternoon wildlife watching, while evenings begin with drinks at the bar. Candlelit dinners under the stars come with a soundtrack of distant hyena calls, creating an atmospheric safari experience.

The rooms

Each tented suite offers a private slice of wilderness luxury, with wooden floors, plush carpets, and king-sized beds draped in crisp linens. A cozy lounge cove and writing desk allow for peaceful reflection, while large mesh windows keep you connected to the wild. Three special stargazer suites let you drift off beneath the dazzling African night sky.

Activities

Game drives reveal extraordinary predator action, while walking safaris offer intimate ground-level encounters. For the adventurous, fly camping delivers nights truly immersed in the wilderness. Dawn hot air balloon safaris provide a bird's eye view of the awakening savannah, followed by champagne breakfasts in the bush.
