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.

  • Dear Lisa. On behalf of the three generations of the Rowland family. Thank you, so much, for organising our wonderful holiday to Botswana and the Victoria Falls. The trip of a lifetime. The week mobile camping in the bush, with our guide Nandos and his crew was a fantastic adventure. How they manage to cook such wonderful food on an open fire is amazing. The sites were constantly visited by monkeys and once by elephants. We were even lucky enough to see two packs of wild dogs, once with a kill. Waterberry Lodge on the Zambezi River is a wonderfully tranquil place. Ideal to relax after the adventures of our safari and visiting Victoria Falls. Very many thanks once again

  • We had a great time - even with the flight between Governors and the coast being two flights and a car! We also experienced a power cut At Nairobi airport on the way home so 2+ hours late taking off. Governors. Wonderful people and dealt with the flight delay very well - taking us back and letting us know that we could stay there if the flight was delayed overnight. The game drives were excellent and our guide (Erick) obviously very experienced and managed to find all the key animals - no rhino in that part of the Masai Mara but everything else in abundance - never seen so many herbivores (many many elephants as well as all the others) as well as two prides of lions. Could not have asked for more. The ‘tent’ was excellent and comfortable and well serviced. The only ‘complaint’ would be that the food - especially dinner - could be improved (I think we got a bit bored of soup as a starter for every meal bar one) and the main courses were not at the same level as Kinondo Kwetu and while all were explained there was no choice offered. The breakfasts were just what was needed after an early game drive. Kinondo Kwetu. What a great location and the welcome when we arrived at just gone 11.00pm was better than you could have ever thought possible - they we’re disappointed that we did not at that time want the full dinner experience! The rooms we’re comfortable. The food was excellent but again no choice was offered - other than for allergy reasons (which we do not have). May be some choice would be nice. Having said that the food we did have was excellent as were the wines (albeit a short list!) and other drinks. There were (as you know) lots of facilities/sports options - but we spent our time relaxing which was exactly what we needed and there were lots of places to do that. Overall. We would go back to both places - perhaps a few more nights at Kinondo Kwetu next time but 3 nights at Governors was perfect for us. Thank you for organising and recommending both places. That you and your colleague for trying to find out about the plane (flat tyre) but communication by the flight company left a lot to be desired (Governors were furious that they were not told and had taken us to the airstrip).

  • It was certainly a holiday of a lifetime for us and we loved every minute!! The standard and location of each accommodation was excellent, as was the variety of each different accommodation type. Our schedule was perfect and we managed to achieve everything on our to-do task list. Your documents were also really helpful, as were the driving directions. We all thank you for making this such a wonderful holiday. Happy to leave a review publicly if you point me the right way. Best Steve
