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!

A FACE LIFT FOR ALL OF THE LEMALA CAMPS 

Lemala Ngorongoro has a brand new camp. The new tents have been increased in size to accommodate two queen size beds as the standard twin configuration and the double boasts an emperor size bed, all with spacious en-suite bathrooms. A new enlarged heated dining and lounge tent will allow guests the opportunity to relax and enjoy the cosy but spacious atmosphere of the tent from where they can enjoy the breath taking view. The camp, tucked below ancient Acacia trees which are naturally decorated with  with “old-mans beard”, has the most magnificent view of the forests which stretch all the way towards Olmoti Crater.




The other camps, Lemala Mara/Ndutu, Lemala Ewanjan and Lemala Manyara have all undergone soft refurbishments as well as the replacement of some of the furnishings. 

Lemala Explorer has come on line and will offer the same luxurious safari feel as the other Lemala camps. This six-tent camp moves between Ndutu NCAA (December to March), the Serengeti National Park Western Corridor (May and June) and Tarangire National Park (July to October). Lemala Explorer moves to gorgeous locations to coincide with the great migration and guarantees guests the best game viewing opportunities possible.

Lemala Manyara and Lemala Explorer tents have also been modified to include spacious, walk in en-suite bathrooms in all of the units.

Kuria Hills, Lemala’s new permanent camp is progressing steadily and will be operational by the 1st of June 2013. A unique design of recycled steel and canvas has a relatively low environmental footprint.

Each tent’s location has been carefully chosen, giving them privacy as well as magnificent uninterrupted views of the Serengeti landscapes. From a ridge which drops away abruptly, breath taking scenery is revealed, stretching all the way to the distant Olololo Escarpment across the Mara River to the north-west.

Guests can also enjoy these views from their units whilst cooling down in their own sunken plunge pools on the front decks.

The main area is set beside a large kopje and is a cluster of units on different levels comprising a library, bar lounge, bar, upper and lower lounge areas, bar and lounge decks, reception and gift shop, dining and client washrooms. There is also a pool and spa close to the main area.

The main area seen from above. The lounge area (furthest left) is on three levels and has a large deck in the front. The dining area (furthest right), is on one level and also has a large dining deck area in front of it. When guests first arrive, they will enter the reception area, office and gift shop (nearest right), before proceeding to the lounge for an informal check in. The main area store and guest washrooms complete the cluster (nearest left). The roofs will be clad with a dark green shade net.
