Lemala Mara Tented Camp

Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

Part of the Tanzania Safari & African Safari Collection

Lemala Mara is the ultimate seasonal camp in Serengeti, within touching distance of the Mara River and set under large Euclea trees in the heart of the best game viewing area of the Northern Serengeti.

Here, in this immense remote wilderness, almost double the size of the Masai Mara, guests can enjoy fabulous landscapes and terrific game viewing with practically no crowds. Resident wildlife numbers are exceptionally high, with prides of lion up to 30 strong, but nothing compared to when the migration starts arriving from June onwards. The area then turns into a wildlife paradise par excellence until November when the migration heads back south leaving behind a healthy population of resident predators and grazers. The migration and resident game affirm this area’s reputation as one of the finest in Africa.

Two of the largest crossing points on the river are nearby and occasionally guests may observe the exciting crossings from the comfort of the camp. The spectacular Lamai triangle, Wogakuria kopjes and Kogatende airstrip are all very easily accessible.

Alice Lombard says

“I prefer being closer to the river, so I will sacrifice the Bombai Saphire for an early start on the river. This is the old Sayari Camp location and one of the best on the river. As far as the mobile camp locations go, this spot and Olakira’s location would be the best. They are very similar in standard, with good product offerings. Lemala offers a good game package product for those who prefer to fly in. ”
