The tents are spacious, well ventilated, and provide ample natural light, keeping the connection to the surrounding environment intact while providing a cozy and restful place to retire after a day of adventure.
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Lemala Ewanjan is during the dry season, from June to October, when wildlife is abundant and easier to spot, as animals congregate around waterholes and rivers. During this time, the Great Migration is also taking place, and the camp’s central location offers a fantastic opportunity to see wildebeest and zebras as they move through the area. Game drives during these months offer excellent chances of seeing big cats, particularly as they stalk prey in the open plains.
Another prime time to visit is during the calving season in the southern Serengeti from January to March, when thousands of wildebeest calves are born, attracting predators and providing thrilling wildlife viewing opportunities. This period is particularly great for those wanting to witness the circle of life in action.
How to Get There
Lemala Ewanjan Tented Camp can be accessed both by air and road. The most convenient way to get to the camp is by flying into Seronera Airstrip, which is about a 30-minute drive from the camp. Flights are available from Arusha or Kilimanjaro International Airport, and the airstrip is well-connected with the camp’s transfer service.
For those choosing to travel by road, the journey from Arusha to the camp takes approximately 7-8 hours, passing through the beautiful Ngorongoro Conservation Area before entering the Serengeti. Although the drive is long, it offers an opportunity to see more of Tanzania’s landscapes, and some guests prefer it as an option for an adventurous and scenic road trip.
