Lemala Mara Tented Camp
Location: Serengeti Tanzania
One authentic mobile tented camp, but in two locations, Lemala Ndutu & Lemala Mara moves north and south with the seasons to ensure guests enjoy ringside seats to the spectacle of the magnificent wildebeest migration year-round. Both are set up in sublime locations offering a high-quality safari experience with excellent guiding.
Here, in this immense remote wilderness, guests can enjoy fabulous landscapes and terrific game viewing with practically no crowds. Resident wildlife numbers are always high, but nothing compares to the dramatic scenes during the migration as tens of thousands of animals gather to then plunge into the crocodile-infested river.

The 12 tents of Lemala Mara Tented Camp travel north between June and October to set up under large Euclea trees in one of the best game viewing areas of the Northern Serengeti. The exact location varies from year to year. Sometimes the camp is set-up close to the Mara River, but are always far enough away to remain discreet and not interrupt wildlife behaviour as the wildebeest mass along the steep banks during their frantic crossing on their way north to the Maasai Mara.
Lemala Mara is a mobile tented camp offering an authentic bush experience, but the tents are spacious and each is furnished with two queen-size beds and all the little luxuries that make them surprisingly comfortable. After an evening game drive, your tent attendant ensures your safari shower is filled with hot water to wash away the dust of the African savannah.

Serian’s Serengeti Lamai
Location: Serengeti Tanzania
The open plains of the Lamai Wedge are incredibly beautiful and abundant with game. The landscape is reminiscent of scenes from Out of Africa, and there is plenty of freedom to roam and explore. The camp is situated opposite Crossing Point 4, midway among all crossing points along the river, and is perfectly positioned to spectate the wildebeest river crossings.
Away from the river, this area of rolling savannah, boulder-strewn hillsides, and fig-tree groves, is littered with inconceivably enormous herds of wildebeest, topi, and zebra as well as all the predators that gorge on this movable feast. The game-viewing is world-class. Cheetah, lion, and elephant especially make for fantastic sighting, but it’s not unheard of to see the Big Five in a day.
Serian’s Serengeti Mobile Kusini
Location: Serengeti Tanzania
Kusini is perfectly positioned to access the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, as well as the Serengeti National Park – two spectacular game-viewing areas encompassing high concentrations of cheetah, honey badger, golden-backed jackal and hyena, as well as a parade of predators feasting on the newborns.
Serian’s Serengeti Mobile Kusini as its name suggests is a movable camp and was created to make the most of the spectacular wildebeest migration. From December to March, they have perched on the edge of the short grass plains a perfect vantage point over the vast space where the herds amass to give birth to their young. Nestled in a well-watered wood, ancient trails weave the migration right through the camp.
Lemala Ngorongoro Tented Camp
Location: Ngorongoro Tanzania
Lemala Ngorongoro is intimately set in a delightful ancient acacia forest close to the rim of the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater.
As it is located next to the quiet Lemala crater, access road on the northeast side a key advantage of staying at Lemala Ngorongoro is the quick and easy drive down onto the crater floor in the morning; Lemala guests usually have an hour’s head start over others descending via the far busier Seneto crater access road on the western rim.
