Lemala Mara Tented Camp

🌍 Tanzania

📍 North Serengeti

Lemala Mara Tented Camp is a luxury seasonal camp in the North Serengeti, positioned near the Mara River during the crossing season (Jul–Oct). It’s for safari-goers who want polished service, professional guiding, and prime positioning while retaining the authenticity of tented living. The camp’s ability to balance comfort with close access to crossings makes it a favorite for migration enthusiasts.

Pricing: typically $1,250–$1,350 per double in high season; around $750–$810 in low season (Mar–May, when camp may close).

Thoughtful comparisons: Same tier: Mara Mara Tented Lodge (luxury; lodge comforts, same zone) and Mara Under Canvas (luxury; mobile, slightly less polished). Step up: Lemala Kuria Hills (premium luxury; villas with sweeping views). Step down: Mara Kati Kati (mid-range; rustic but in the area).

Safari context: Mara crossings are unpredictable—being close reduces delays and increases chances of witnessing them.

Rooms

Spacious Meru-style tents with king/twin beds, en-suite bathrooms (flush toilets, bucket showers), and verandas with seating. Shared mess and lounge tent, fire pit, and solar power for lighting/charging at set hours.

Meals

Flexible meals: early teas/coffees, picnic breakfasts and lunches for river days, and plated dinners in camp. Cuisine is hearty and well-prepared, with vegetarian options on request.
