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.

Olkeri is the Maasai epithet for the Leopard, the spotted ambush hunter, one of the most emblematic inhabitants of the area. Home to great Elephant herds, this beautiful tract of wilderness, replete with views of woodlands, rocky hills, and shaded by gnarled old-growth Baobab and Acacia, offers the ultimate freedom to explore day and night.

Tarangire is famous for its vast herd of 4 000-strong Elephant and large Buffalo herds. Its rugged and diverse landscape, that provides an unparalleled safari experience all year round, including woodlands where gnarled trees stand like sentinels – none more so than the ancient Baobabs. Designated by the Maasai community, Randilen is a community wildlife management area of 327 km², which extends organically from Tarangire National Park’s north-eastern boundary and is run along strict ecological principles benefiting both wildlife and the community. In the dry season between July to October, wildlife is concentrated around the few water sources, particularly the Tarangire River Valley. During the green season, wildlife moves into the surrounding hills that come alive with lushness, flowering blooms, epic skies and exuberant wildlife. Aside from Elephant and Buffalo, species most likely to be seen Giraffe, Zebra, Wildebeest, Waterbuck, Bushbuck, Impala, Lesser Kudu, Eland and Warthog.
