An intimate and authentic camp in the central Serengeti
Lounge and dining tent with a bar, and a fire-pit
Twelve canvas tents, all with en-suite facilities
Game drives, Great Migration viewing, and the Lemala Cubs program
Lemala Ewanjan Camp offers expertly guided game drives, seasonal walking safaris, and the Lemala Cubs program.
The main activity here is expertly guided game drives, which are available in early morning and late afternoon into evening.
If you visit from April to June, or from November to January, you’ll see the huge herds of the Great Migration . During the latter period, they’re on their way down south in readiness for the calving season on the short-grass plains, while April heralds the beginning of the rutting months. Either time can be pretty spectacular!
The Seronera area is characterised by numerous water sources, making it very popular with wildlife! All Big Five are in residence – lion, rhino, leopard, elephant, and buffalo. Among the smaller predators and herbivores you can expect to see are cheetah, hyenas, jackals, wild dog, giraffe, wildebeest, zebra, an enticing assortment of antelopes, lots of hippos, and hundreds of species of bird!
Ewanjan offers kids’ activities too, in the form of the Lemala Cubs program. Things to do include tracking in the area around camp, making bows-and-arrows, and playing a few board games.
*This property is unfenced and located in a wildlife area, so large and potentially dangerous animals do pass through. If you opt to stay here, always be alert when walking around the camp and request for a member of staff to escort you if you have any concerns. Any guest is escorted after dark as a matter of course.
The camp is accessed via 30 minutes’ road transfer from Seronera Airstrip. It occupies the base and slopes of Makoma Hill, at the end of the Seronera Valley. This is a quiet spot within the region, well away from other properties yet close to the wildlife.
The communal lounge and dining areas at Ewanjan Tented Camp are housed in a big mess tent.
In between them, there’s the property’s well-stocked bar. The lounge features leather sofas around coffee tables, and it flows out onto a veranda created by the tent’s additional canvas layer. The dining room, set with chunky wooden tables and campaign chairs, also extends into this space, so you can tuck into delicious meals while marvelling at the scenery! The camp serves a buffet breakfast including breads and pastries, an informal lunch usually involving soups and salads, and a three-course dinner. If you plan to be out all day, staff are happy to pack up a picnic for you. Ewanjan also has a fire-pit, where guests gather before dinner for a few drinks and to swap their safari stories!
Guest accommodation consists of 12 canvas tents with wooden floors, all positioned on the hillside.
A double tent is the standard option, with twins and triples available on request. Accessed through a gauze partition, all are very spacious. In addition to your comfy bed/s, you’ll find bedside tables and lighting, a writing desk and chair, a dressing table, a separate seating area with tea-and-coffee station, and a lockable trunk you can use as a safe. Stripy rugs adorn the floor, and the writing desk is made out of an old suitcase! The en-suite facilities comprise flush toilet, washbasin with running water and mirror over, and classic bucket shower – hot water is provided whenever you need it. The camp also supplies bathrobes, towels, soap, and insect repellent. The area just in front of each tent is perfect for relaxing and enjoying your views!
