Overview of Lemala Mara Camp Northern Serengeti

Lemala Mara, a mobile tented safari camp, is an ideal accommodation from which to witness the Wildebeest Migration as it moves around the Serengeti. Enjoy the camp’s privacy and intimacy, personal attention from the staff and of course excellent game viewing. Following the migration route, the camp is located in a secluded area in Ndutu between December and March, then moves to the Mara River area in the northern Serengeti between June and October.

Set under shady trees in the heart of the northern Serengeti’s best game viewing area, Lemala Mara provides front-row seats as the wildebeest and zebra herds make their way to the crocodile-infested Mara River. It is situated close to the river’s popular crossing points, yet tucked away from the busy roads – which means less passing vehicles and more privacy. You will also have access to additional river crossing points where there are less crowds and better viewing opportunities. The camp’s tents are spread out far enough to offer guests privacy and spectacular views of the northern Serengeti plains.

Lemala Mara is a great option for families or groups of friends travelling together as well as couples and individuals hoping for fantastic safari experiences up close to the herds of the Great Migration in Tanzania’s flagship and storied reserve, the Serengeti National Park.

      General Facilities

      The communal area located in the mess tent includes a central bar for refreshment and plush leather sofas for relaxation after an exciting day of game viewing. Drinks can, and indeed should, be enjoyed out by the campfire as you watch the sunset and swop stories with your fellow guests.

      Younger children can join in on the fun with the Lemala Cubs kids programme where they can learn about and experience the magic of the African bush in a fun and educational way while of course giving parents a chance to relax.
