Lemala Mara North Serengeti – follow the Migration in remote Northern
Serengeti
Located at the foot of a
magnificent kopje overlooking a gently inclining expanse of the classic
Serengeti wilderness dotted with sausage and fig trees, Lemala Mara's 8
luxury tents and 1 family tent have
a prime position in Northern Serengeti with convenient access to
wildebeest migration transiting through Bologonja, Tabora B and Wogakuria/Lamai/Mara River areas.
Here, in this immense remote
wilderness, almost double the size of the Masai Mara, guests can enjoy
fabulous landscapes and terrific off-road game viewing with practically
no crowds. Resident wildlife numbers are exceptionally high with prides
of lion up to 30 strong but when
the migration starts arriving from June onwards, the area turns into a
wildlife paradise par excellence.
Through June, July and August the
wildebeest continues moving through the area, crossing the Mara River
and then heading north towards Masai Mara, but several herds remain
behind and weather changes could easily
bring the vast herds flooding back into the area. Migration and predator action lasts
up to end October assuring this area’s reputation as one of the finest
in Africa. Similar in size and style to Lemala Ndutu, Lemala Mara is
open from June to Oct and is best combined with at least 2 nights
at Lemala E-wanjan (4.5hr drive). The camp relocates to Ndutu from Dec
to March.
