Olakira Migration Camp South - Ndutu

The rustic but comfortable main area offers guests the perfect place to rest between activities. Settle back in one of two small lounges, with long sofas and deep leather chairs set around sturdy coffee tables. There's no electricity, but lanterns at night create an atmosphere of enchantment. Dining either happens communally or at private tables for two. A well-stocked bar cupboard means that whatever your mood, it will always be accompanied by the perfect drink.

The nine tents are simple but cleverly designed – the smartest invention being the meshed-in porch where, weather permitting, beds can be placed to allow for lazy stargazing. The dark wood floors and wooden headboard give rooms a rich, classic safari feel, as do the leather-woven chairs. En-suite bathrooms at the rear have double basins (with deep brass bowls) and 20-litre bucket showers, so washing is rustic but perfectly adequate. Tea- and coffee-stations and bathrobes add to the creature comforts.

The Ndutu region throngs with wildlife at this time of year. Game drives are decidedly the best way to get those pivotal sightings as they allow you to cover vast tracts of land or follow predators on the hunt. Off-road driving is permitted, making for some really intimate encounters. Guided walking safaris are great for guests keen to stretch their legs and see the smaller treasures of the bush. Hot-air balloon rides are an extravagant treat, but worth every penny.
