We enjoyed this stay immensely. We booked long walks with the Massai guides every afternoon to get a feel for the land and the people One guide showed us plants along the way that were used as medicine by the Massai, while another took us hiking in the hills surrounding the camp. We encountered wildlife both times, getting a good... More

This was a very nice camp over all with great service. While the tents are all circled around a rock outcrop which makes it more difficult to socialize, the dining area and bar are wonderful places to enjoy the view and sit with fellow travelers. Make sure to take advantage of the difficult to find but amazing look out point... More

We spent two nights at the camp as part of a longer trip in East Africa. The location is spectacular, especially for classic Seregeti sunsets. Our tent was nice and the food and service was pretty good (although the latter was nothing to rave about). Over dinner we even had a visit from a wild gennet cat and the chorus... More

We stayed here for two nights as part of an eight night safari. All our camps were slightly different and Olduvai did not disappoint. Although the sunset walk is much talked about and is really fun, we preferred the morning walk which was absolutely fabulous. We arrived after a hard days game viewing and were met with a welcome drink... More

We stayed at Olduvai Camp for one night, breaking up the long drive from the Ngorongoro Crater and the Ndutu area. We're really glad we did this because the drive from the crater was on a terrible road and quite jarring, and the camp itself was lovely. Both the tents and common areas were beautifully decorated. It's a permanent camp... More

Loved the location and the views from the tent. Great food - how do they do that in such a remote environment. Like the local staff and they way they engaged with the guests.

Olduvai was by far the most beautiful place that we stayed at during our 3-week Tanzanian vacation. The tented camps are spacious, luxurious and modern and our view from our tent and the surroundings were breathtaking. From Massai children hearding their goats to giraffes trotting along in the distance, Olduvai is truly a magical place in the middle of the... More

We stayed at Olduvai camp for one night en route from Ngorongoro to the seronera. If you were to pick to the most unique settings world for somewhere to have a hotel/accomodation, this would surely be up there! Nestled into the kopjes (granite rocky outcrop) were 17 (I think) large tents fully kitted out with furnishings. They have permanent wooden... More

This was our third accommodation of a safari organized by Tanganyka Expedition (we also stayed at Mawa Ninga Camp, Bashay rift lodge and Ronjo camp). I really loved Olduvai cause everything was really perfect: the tents, the nature, the food, the staff, the Masai, the location... I was really sorry for staying there only one day. i enjoyed the amazing... More
