The 12 tents of Lemala Mara Mobile Tented Camp travel north between June and October to set up under large Euclea trees in one of the best game-viewing areas of the Northern Serengeti. The exact location varies from year to year. Sometimes we set up camp close to the Mara River but are always far enough away to remain discreet and not interrupt wildlife behavior as the wildebeest mass along the steep banks during their frantic crossing on their way north to the Maasai Mara.

Here, in this immense remote wilderness, guests can enjoy fabulous landscapes and terrific game viewing with practically no crowds. Resident wildlife numbers are always high, but nothing compared to the dramatic scenes during the migration as tens of thousands of animals gather to then plunge into the crocodile-infested river.
