Entara was founded by a diverse group of artists, safari guides, hoteliers, chefs, and entrepreneurs who share a deep passion for Africa’s wilderness and its people. Through years of hands-on safari operations, we've learned that the true essence of safari lies in the raw connection to wildlife and wilderness, not in fancy décor or sealed rooms. Our team strives to evoke a sense of adventure, wonder, and genuine connection through shared experiences and new friendships. Despite our varied backgrounds, the Entara team is a close-knit family united by friendship, solidarity, and a shared purpose with both colleagues and guests. Our collection of five intimate lodges and camps are carefully nestled within Africa’s natural wonders, offering comfort and service without compromising on the authentic safari experience. Katambuga House in Arusha, with its lush gardens and tranquil pool, serves as an oasis of tropical serenity. Olmara Camp, situated in the remote Ngare Nayuki River Valley, is a dream location for wildlife photography enthusiasts, featuring luxury tented suites blending seamlessly into acacia groves, grasslands, and rocky outcrops. Kisima Ngeda Camp, nestled among fever tree forests, provides a wilderness adventure with the option of an overnight fly camp on Lake Eyasi’s eastern shore for an unforgettable night under the stars. Esirai Camp moves alongside wildebeest herds during their epic 600km migration across the plains, offering an unparalleled African safari adventure. Lastly, Olkeri Camp, known for its vast elephant herds, offers expansive views of woodlands and rocky hills, shaded by ancient Baobab and Acacia trees, allowing guests the freedom to explore day and night.

Olmara is famed for Africa’s magnificent big cats and it is a Serengeti wilderness haven for wildlife photographers. The camp is open to the comings and goings of animals giving a stay here a true feel of being at one with the wilderness. Apart from cheetah, the area teems with lion, leopard, serval and other wildlife, providing visitors with an unsurpassed display of predator and prey activity. Solar power provides lighting and electricity for camp operations that all follow eco-friendly practices. The tented suites merge seamlessly into an ancient grove of acacias and offer vistas of endless grassy plains and the Ngare Nanyuki river valley, dotted with time-weathered rocky outcrops. The camp is set in a unique expanse of the Serengeti – unspoiled, wild, and remote. With its isolated location, the evenings provide a borderless show of infinite night sky that is dominated by the Milky Way.

The Eastern Serengeti is a landscape of sweeping grassy plains dotted with granite outcrops and sliced by meandering river valleys. An all-year destination, it is one of the remotest regions of the park and is home to Africa’s largest concentrations of big cats. It is ideal for photographers and adventurers who want a safari off the beaten track. Highlights include the bird migration from October to April, the Wildebeest migration between December and May, the Thomson Gazelle migration between March and May; and the dry season between June and September offers unrivalled big-cat viewing.
