TRAVEL GUIDES
FROMMERS:
Lemala Ngorongoro - 'It's the most authentic safari experience you can have on the crater, replete with regular camp visits from big tuskers and roaring camp fires'

Lemala Serengeti - 'This is my top pick, combining fantastic tented accommodations - a lovely eye for detail, both design-wise and for comfort - with luxury touches in the lounge (mini chandeliers!) and dining tents, and the best value for money'.

THE BRADT SAFARI GUIDE:
Lemala Ngorongoro - 'Situated in a wonderful stand of lichen-stained flat-topped red-thorn acacias...it has an an outdoor atmosphere lacking from all other camps on the rim & it also has peerless location for early morning game drive into the crater... 1st choice for anyone seeking to experience Ngorongoro in a real bush atmosphere'

'Here is a recent comment from a Lemala guest:

Overall, the trip was fantastic. In particular, the guides were absolutely great and went out of their way to find (and re-find) animals. Both of our guides – Samson Wilson in Ngorongoro, and Michael Massonda in the northern Serengeti – were excellent guides. We saw things that others in their own vehicles simply did not see, like a black rhino, a leopard and her cub, a family of cheetahs, etc., etc. Moreover, whenever we had a special request (such as going to see up close a long moving line of wildebeest I had seen in the distance), the guides would make it happen, even if it meant changing their plans and literally going far out of their way. I really don’t see how we could have had better guides, and that made all the difference!

MEMORIES GALORE AT LEMALA CAMPS

I have just returned from a fabulous inspection trip to East Africa from Nakuru all the way to Manyara. My abiding memories of the trip are: the drive from Lemala Ewanjan to Lemala Ndutu when the whole migration unfolded before our eyes, stretching from horizon to horizon; the wonderful sundowner on the Ndutu plains surrounded by the migration, with no other vehicle in sight, followed by a fly past of thousands of migrating Abdim’s storks heading towards the setting sun; the truly spectacular sundowner which Lemala Ngorongoro laid on for us on the rim of the crater at a very special site; and the 20 giraffes on the Lake Manyara lakeshore that happened to stroll past the mess tent of Lemala Manyara at 4.30pm and decided to stop and watch us having our cold Safari beers .

LEMALA KURIA HILLS
Permanent Camp Serengeti
Opening 01 October 2012
Northern Serengeti Valley of the Leopards

Lemala Camps proudly announce the forthcoming opening, on 01st October 2012, of our new permanent tented camp in Northern Serengeti, the ancestral home of the Kuria tribe.

The camp is virtually impossible to find for those not in the know. It is necessary to drive across two secluded valleys fed by streams and punctuated by boulders together with fig and sausage trees. On the way you might spot one of the numerous leopards that prowl in the valleys. On one of our first visits here 3 years ago, James, our guide from Grumeti Expeditions, spotted four leopards within 25 minutes. Over several subsequent visits, we have continued to spot leopards regularly. The abundance of water also attracts elephant, buffalo, bushbuck, zebra, lions and, of course, the wildebeest migration.

Steer the 4x4 round a few bends, then up a hillock towards a ridge and you still won't see the camp. An imposing kopje hides the camp from all. The views from the kopje extend across the tree-lined water courses below to the rolling hills of Wogakuria and the grasslands of Lamai, all the way to the Isuria Escarpment on the Tanzania/Kenya border. The sweeping vistas are simply exquisite.

The location of each of the 15 luxury tents has been carefully selected after 3 years of painstaking groundwork, taking into consideration the wonderful topography, sublime views and stunning wilderness. Each tent is shaded by mature trees or framed by boulders and designed with a raised deck, plunge pool, indoor and outdoor showers and a bath with a view. Two 2-tent clusters are available for families.

The largest of the kopjes on the ridge is where the common area is located, divided into public and private dining areas, sitting areas with log fires and a stunning bar on an upper deck which has arguably the best view in the whole of the Serengeti. Another kopje provides a gorgeous spot for the swimming pool, outdoor massages, barbecues and sundowners.

Kuria Hills camp is in a hauntingly beautiful part of Serengeti, only 30 minutes from the Mara River and the Lamai triangle yet completely concealed. Game drives, walks, bush meals, sundowners, massages, stunning wilderness, great hospitality, luxury tents are all on offer but we also hope to share some of the Kuria tribe's traditions with you. It is a fascinating place to be. See you in October 2012.
