The camp offers breathtaking views of the Serengeti plains and its prolific wildlife and sunsets. The Seronera valley is renowned for its year round game viewing due to its abundance of water, as well as its large population of resident cats. We have sited the camp right at the end of a blind valley, so there is no reason for vehicles to interrupt your view during the day, and at night you enjoy uninterrupted views across the plains with no electric lights in sight.

Between April and June and again between November and January this area receives the annual wildebeest migration, turning the area into an exciting wildlife paradise.

Lemala Ewanjan high specification tents are some of the most spacious and comfortable tents in Tanzania, offering spectacular views of the Serengeti wilderness from your very own doorstep.

Each en suite tent is fitted with 2 queen size beds, warm duvets, flush toilet, large safari shower, plentiful running water, wooden storage cabinets and flooring, 24-hour solar lighting and outside loungers from which to enjoy a cup of tea or coffee at the start of each exciting safari day.

Day 7 - 9  28-30 JUL or 08-10 AUG 2016 LEMALA EWANJAN CAMP | Meals: BLD
Your three full days in the Seronera Valley are filled with morning and afternoon game drives.

Game viewing will reveal a host of animals who make their home here in the Serengeti. Watch for a cheetah darting across the plains, since they like to hunt during the day. Graceful giraffe and the giant elephant will no doubt grace the landscape with their unmistakable silhouettes. Sunset is a wonderful time in the bush, as you watch the glowing ball of fire disappear and the sky light up with bright sparkling skies. It is magic.
