Lemala Mara Mobile Tented Camp, Serengeti National Park, Tanzania
A Tented Camp in Tanzania
Camp Details
The 12 tents of Lemala Mara Tented Camp travel north between June and October to set up under large Euclea trees in one of the best game viewing areas of the Northern Serengeti. The exact location varies from year to year. Sometimes we set up camp close to the Mara River, but are always far enough away to remain discreet and not interrupt wildlife behaviour as the wildebeest mass along the steep banks during their frantic crossing on their way north to the Maasai Mara. Here, in this immense remote wilderness, guests can enjoy fabulous landscapes and terrific game viewing with practically no crowds. Resident wildlife numbers are always high, but nothing compared to the dramatic scenes during the migration as tens of thousands of animals gather to then plunge into the crocodile-infested river.
WHY CHOOSE LEMALA MARA MOBILE TENTED CAMP?
- Dining outside in the Shade for lunch or under the stars for dinner whilst listening to the african sounds is something quiet spectacular and one not to be missed
- Float in a hot air balloon over the famous Serengeti National Park with its enchanting scenery and amazing wildlife.
- Lemala Cubs activities may include identifying animals and birds, learning how to throw (blunt) spears and use bows and arrows like the Maasai, being taught tracking and spoor identification techniques by our guides, walking with the Maasai to hear stories about their culture and way of life in the bush, and even joining the chefs in the kitchen to prepare meals or roasting marshmallows over the campfire before bed.
