Overview

Set in the vast, open expanse of the Seronera Valley in Central Serengeti, Northern Tanzania, are 12 deluxe-tented suites offering a luxury experience in a rustic camp setting.

With the Central Serengeti well-known for the Great Migration, the Lemala Ewanjan Tented Camp makes the most of the spectacular wildlife and scenery, offering uninterrupted views across the savannah as wildebeest roam in the distance. In the evening, at sunset, guests gather around a campfire for drinks and a chat, before dining under chandeliers in the lounge tent or the starry sky.

The guest tents are all en suite, with queen-sized beds, hot bucket showers, a flush toilet, 24-hour solar lamps and outside loungers. The tents are large and elegantly decorated, with rugs, duvets and cushions. Internet access is available in the main area only, where there is also a centralised bar. Highly-rated restaurant-quality meals are prepared on site from food trucked in weekly.

This place offers great game drives in their open four-by-four vehicles, fitted out with charging units and a large refrigerator. The area is excellent for sightings of great cats. Masai tribesmen patrolling the camp at night keep guests safe. Another option is to take a hot air balloon ride, surveying the panorama of the Serengeti from above.

Children of six years and up are welcome, although younger children may be accepted on request. Each of the two family tents houses two queen-sized beds, allowing plenty of space for two adults and a child. A single bed can also be squeezed in for a second child. The camp’s main activities are generally limited to daytime safaris. However, the Lemala Cubs Programme provides a range of educational activities to keep children entertained, from learning how to use a bow and arrow, to tracking around camp with resident guides, to sitting around the camp fire roasting marshmallows and listening to African fables.

Lemala Ewanjan Tented Camp promises comfortable, moderately-priced accommodation and excellent wildlife sightings in a stunning Central Serengeti location.

  • I was also just about to email you to thank you and the team for arranging yet again, another wonderful experience.

    Mount Kenya was spectacular and wild - I think I prefer it to Kili in many ways. The entire support team was professional, friendly and all round fantastic in making sure that we were safe, well fed and well looked after. In particular, we would commend Peter the guide as well as Paul one of the porters who doubled-up as his deputy on summit day. Our route was often shrouded in mist and rain that rapidly gathered in the valleys and moorlands, and we were very impressed at how Peter managed to navigate us safely through all of that notwithstanding. In addition, we loved learning about the history of Mount Kenya from him in the evenings. And ofcourse, I was blown away by the lovely birthday surprise at the end complete with balloons and a delicious cake that had journeyed with us from day 1. One thing we might recommend because of the sudden change in weather (it would sometimes get extremely cold and wet) is for the equipment list to be a little bit more detailed in terms of its recommendations e.g. layers to be moisture-wicking, walking boots be waterproof, doubling up on socks to avoid blisters etc.

    El Karama is a beautiful conservancy and the lodge a true labour of love. Great hospitality in a relaxed environment. Delicious, fresh food. We enjoyed the drives, even if we didn't see much wildlife as the heavens opened on us for the last two outings. However, since it was very much geared towards families, I am not sure if I would stay again without kids. That said, I think it was perfect for a 3d/2n stay post mountain, and a much better choice than flying to the masai mara given the limited time we had.

    Our transits were smooth. Samuel the driver was always on time, drove safely and kept the vehicle clean.

    So it was a brilliant experience and one which I certainly will cherish for some time to come. It was great to work with you for a third time, and I certainly hope it won't be the last

  • Thank you, we had an absolute wonderful time, and everything was well-planned and as described. Carla was crying on the day of our departure from Ants Nest, she didn’t want to go home and for it all to end, and when I asked how much longer she would want to stay, she responded “four weeks”

  • We had the most amazing time. It exceeded all my hopes of what the trip would be. The guides, the hotels - everything was of such a wonderful quality. Thank you for organizing everything. I will absolutely recommend Tourdust and use you again.
