Lemala Ewanjan 

Uncomplicated luxury

Lemala Ewanjan captures the heart and soul of the Serengeti in one completely enchanting camp of endless horizons and year-round game viewing.

A charming camp with incredibly warm staff and impressive freshly prepared food, Lemala Ewanjan is magical morning through to night. You’ll meet new friends over sundowner campfire drinks, learn from highly knowledgeable guides how animals survive and thrive in this spectacular land, and sleep under starry skies to the sounds of the bush at night.

Deluxe tents are designed in authentic safari style with wooden floors, queen beds, safari showers, old trunks and chests, and solar lighting. And your private outside decking is marvellous for early morning coffee views and late night drinks as the sun goes down.  The central mess has been created as the main hub of activity with large leather sofas, soft rugs, a fully loaded colonial-style bar and communal dining focused on meeting up, sharing stories and a place to charge your cameras.

The boutique nature of Lemala Ewanjan means you get bespoke service and attention. And the Seronera Valley setting has an abundance of water meaning that in dry season (June to October), you’ll find plenty of animals coming in search of water. But that’s not all that’s here. The high concentration of big cats means the year-round game viewing is extraordinary. Also, from April to May and November to December, the Great Migration of wildebeest and zebra thunder through. Game drives are taken early morning and late afternoon and it’s not unusual for lions and elephants to pass through camp at night.

Why we love Lemala Ewanjan

  • This area is known for its permanent water sources where herbivores and carnivores congregate

  • Like most traditional camps, each bathroom features a ‘bucket shower’ to order – an alfresco rainfall-style shower attached to huge pulleyed buckets filled with perfectly heated water

  • Location is key when it comes to the Serengeti especially during the migration. Lemala Ewanjan has a privileged position away from other vehicles

  • The camp is solar powered and triple filtered borehole water avoids the use of single-use plastic bottles
