We stayed here in the dry season, and had the feeling we whee in the middle of the desert. Amazing how they managed to facilitate us with so much luxury. However the staff was a bit rough, therefore I would not recommend staying here longer then one night. more

Olduvia Camp was a great experience. We'd been to some high-end lodges so it was a little rough and ready in comparison but by no means in a bad way. there were only two other people there when we visited, which admittedly was out of the migration season so it was pretty desolate, but that is part of the beauty... more

This is an absolutely wonderful camp! You have large tents under permanent roofs, with views to take your breath away. If you would like to camp out in Africa but don't want to forgo any comfort, this is the place for you. Complete with electricity and flushing toilets, as well as a great (but basic) restaurant and a friendly bar... more

This camp is part of the MKSC group which also operates Mawa Ninga, Olaado, Ronjo, etc. The location is this camp is oustanding and it has gorgeous views. The tents are nicely decorated but it needs a bit of freshening up. Staff is great and eager to satisfy and meals are good. One of the nice things about ths camp... more

We loved Olduvai, it is not a luxurious camp, but it had a really friendly feel and the camp was remote and in the prettiest of locations. Shortly after arriving we went for a walk with the friendly Masais, to watch the sunset. They were lovely, happy to chat about their culture and seemed to enjoy posing for pictures and... more

We stayed for 1 night at the beginning of our safari which was great - nice clean tent, great food, very organised and 1 night at the end when we were given an old shabby tent with single beds (although we booked a double) and not as much 'attention'. The sunset walk with the Masaai was good, the food was... more

We stayed on this camp for only one night and found it to be the worst of the tented camps that we used - but not by much. It's in an amazing location and has the potential to be fabulous but it seemed to be suffering from lax management. We travelled as two couples and thus got the low-down on... more

We visited this tented camp twice in the last year and its a lovely place to stay for a night or 2 on the way from the crater towards the west. We booked our trip with Africa Travel Resources both times and they are just the best. This camp now has flushing toilets which in a way ruins the authenticity... more

Olduvai Camp was chosen for us by our travel agent, Africa Travel Resource, as an "authentic" place to stay while on route to and from our safari in the Serengeti. I can't vouch for authenticity, but I can tell you that it truly is a unique place. The camp is a set of permanent tented camps (complete with front porches... more
