EnquireLemala Ndutu and Lemala Mara Tented Camp is a highly unique camp with a simple philosophy: go where the game is. It is one camp that moves between two locations, with the seasons, to ensure guests are amongst the amazing scenes of migration throughout the year.
Between December and March, Lemala Ndutu Tented Camp is located on the edge of a permanent marsh in the Southern Serengeti that offers a spectacular view of migrating wildebeest. The camp moves to the Mara Serengeti from July to October, where it overlooks wildebeest playing in the Mara River beneath a collection of large Euclea trees. It is situated in the best game viewing area of the Northern Serengeti. With no crowds, vast landscapes, and great game viewing, the area already has exceptionally high numbers of resident wildlife, which is further diversified and transformed when the migration arrives.
Guest accommodation consists of 12 en-suite tents with twin or double beds. Triple tents are also available. The tents are spacious and combine an authentic bush experience with modern luxury.
The main area is a large mess tent. It features a separate lounge, dining, and centralised bar area. It is decorated with leather sofas, chandeliers, and authentic rugs. Excellent guides are always available to guests and are very knowledgeable. The camp organises brilliant picnic and lunches for full-day game drives. In the evening, after a game drive, guests can enjoy pre-dinner drinks and canapés around a campfire.
Children under the age of 6 are not recommended, but there is an opportunity to gain prior approval. Child rates apply to children aged between 6-16 years.
Trip was great and all the arrangements were excellent so thank you for all the help!
Drivers and transfers were all good - on time and very good service on each trip.
Accommodation was lovely - Douar Samra was amazing (weather could have been better but lovely regardless). Riad in Marrakesh was also great!
All in all a great trip and we loved the variety of the mountains, Marrakesh and the coast.
Thanks you once again!

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”
