Lemala Mara Camp

The main guest tent sits on a wide timber platform, with a comfortable lounge on one side, a dining area on the other, and a cosy bar separating the two. There’s also a small library and a curio shop, with battery charging facilities for electronic devices. The interior is elegant and stylish: leather couches, sparkling chandeliers, beautifully hand-crafted wooden furniture, and plush carpets create a pleasantly luxurious feel without losing the authentic and remote bush camp character.

Twelve spacious tents on wooden platforms are set in lines of six on either side of the mess tent, one of which can accommodate a family of five. Interiors are fairly simple, with warm earthy tones brightened by colourful throws and cushions. Canvas window panels can be rolled up to catch the breeze, and there’s a covered veranda in front - a great spot to relax between game drives. Ensuite bathrooms have bucket showers, with hot water on request.

Twice-daily game drives into the wildlife-rich Serengeti offer superb game viewing, and the camp is carefully located to catch the highlights of the annual Wildebeest Migration. Witness the spectacular Mara River crossings, take a picnic and stay out all day to follow the herds, and explore on foot to discover the smaller aspects of the wilderness. Big cat sightings are excellent, and the region is also renowned for its huge herds of elephant, buffalo, and abundant plains game.
