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.

Rooms

Standard Tent

The standard tents at Lemala Mara provide a comfortable yet authentic space in which to relax and unwind between exciting game drives and delicious meals.  Each tent is elevated on wooden platforms, with polished hardwood floors, cosy furnishings, a dressing room, two queen-size beds, and an en-suite bathroom with a flush toilet and safari-style shower. For families travelling with young children, the standard tent can be booked as a family tent with an extra bed provided.

Two Bedroom Tented Suite

Perfect for friends or family travelling together, this room type has two spacious bedrooms on either side of a comfortable shared lounge in which you can enjoy sundowners or morning coffee together. Each bedroom is similar to the standard tent with two queen-size beds and an en-suite bathroom.

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 swap stories with your fellow guests.

Guests have the opportunity to add on a hot air balloon safari to witness the Serengeti plains from a unique perspective. Float serenely over the wild below before touching down to a scrumptious bush breakfast.

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.

Dining

Meals at Lemala Mara are taken either at alfresco, if the weather permits, or in the dining mess tent under the glow of the chandeliers and in the company of the camp manager.
