Lemala Ndutu Tented Camp is a luxury seasonal camp in the Ndutu area (southern Serengeti/NCA), set up each Dec–Mar to follow the wildebeest calving season. It’s designed for travelers who want polished service and premium guiding right at the heart of predator–prey drama. The camp is highly regarded for positioning itself close to the action, making it one of the best options for photographers during calving months.

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

Thoughtful comparisons: Same tier: Masek Tented Lodge (luxury; lodge comforts by Lake Masek) and Ndutu Under Canvas (luxury; mobile, slightly less polished). Step up: One Nature Nyaruswiga (premium luxury; ultra-opulent, all-suite). Step down: Sero Tented Camp Ndutu (mid-range; simpler canvas, still prime location).

Safari context: Ndutu’s off-road permits give you unmatched freedom to follow predators and herds—something you can’t do in Serengeti proper.
