Classic Under‑Canvas Safari Escape at Lemala Ewanjan Camp

Tanzania is a land where wilderness still speaks in its purest voice, where the rhythm of hooves, the echo of lion roars, and the shimmer of endless grasslands create one of the greatest wildlife theaters on Earth. At the heart of this legendary ecosystem lies the Central Serengeti, a region celebrated for its permanent wildlife populations and its role as a vital corridor of the Great Migration. This exceptional itinerary by Deks Safaris and Tours invites you to experience the Serengeti in its most intimate and authentic form, anchored at the elegant and secluded Lemala Ewanjan Tented Camp.

Set at the quiet end of a hidden blind valley on the western slopes of Makoma Hill, Lemala Ewanjan Camp occupies one of the most privileged wildlife locations in northern Tanzania. Shielded from the main tourist routes yet centrally positioned for outstanding game viewing, the camp is renowned for its year‑round big cat sightings and its front‑row access to the seasonal movements of the Great Migration. From November to January and again from April to June, vast herds of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle drift through the nearby Seronera Valley, filling the plains with motion, sound, and life.

An Authentic Tanzania Safaris Holiday Experience

This safari experience has been carefully designed in the spirit of a true Tanzania Safaris Holiday blending immersive wildlife encounters, understated luxury, cultural connection, and personalized service. At Lemala Ewanjan, the romance of classic safari living unfolds beneath canvas roofs, where lantern light flickers at dusk and the sounds of the bush accompany your dreams. With no fences and minimal artificial barriers, wildlife moves freely through the camp, reminding you that here you are not a visitor observing from afar, but a guest welcomed into the wilderness itself.

A Timeless Journey into the Heart of the Central Serengeti

Your journey is shaped by expert guides who understand every contour of the land and every rhythm of its inhabitants. Game drives reveal predator territories, migration pathways, and hidden waterholes, while walking safaris introduce you to the smaller wonders that sustain this vast ecosystem. Evenings gather around the campfire, where stories, laughter, and the glow of embers create memories that linger long after your return home.

With Deks Safaris and Tours as your trusted host, every detail of this safari is thoughtfully curated — from seamless transfers to flexible dining, from family‑friendly adventures to private wildlife encounters. Whether you travel as a couple seeking romance, a family sharing discovery, or an explorer pursuing the essence of Africa, this journey promises authenticity, elegance, and unforgettable moments in one of the world’s greatest natural sanctuaries.

Day‑by‑Day Safari Itinerary – Immersion in the Serengeti Wilderness

Day 1 – Arrival in the Serengeti & Transfer to Lemala Ewanjan Camp

Your Tanzanian adventure begins with a scenic flight from Arusha or Kilimanjaro into the heart of Serengeti National Park. Upon landing at Seronera Airstrip, your professional guide from Deks Safaris and Tours welcomes you warmly and introduces you to the rhythms of safari life. The short drive toward Lemala Ewanjan Camp is your first immersion into the wild — herds of impala scatter across the plains, giraffes browse among acacias, and raptors circle effortlessly above.

As you approach Makoma Hill, the landscape narrows into a secluded valley, revealing the intimate setting of the camp tucked discreetly among trees and rocky outcrops. Arrival is greeted with cool refreshments and attentive hospitality, followed by a brief orientation and escort to your spacious tented suite. Inside, wooden floors, soft linens, and canvas walls create an atmosphere of refined simplicity, while your private veranda opens to sweeping valley views where wildlife often wanders past.

In the late afternoon, embark on your first game drive, exploring the surrounding plains renowned for resident lions, leopards, and cheetahs. The golden light of sunset transforms the grasslands into a living canvas, offering perfect moments for photography and quiet reflection.

Return to camp at dusk, where lanterns glow along pathways and the campfire crackles invitingly. Share stories over sundowners before enjoying a freshly prepared dinner beneath the stars. Overnight at Lemala Ewanjan Camp.

Day 2 – Big Cats, Migration Corridors & Classic Safari Encounters

Awaken to birdsong and the distant calls of wildlife echoing across the valley. After a hearty breakfast, depart on a morning game drive into one of the Central Serengeti’s richest predator territories. This region supports high densities of lions, leopards, and cheetahs year‑round, making sightings frequent and thrilling. Your guide skillfully tracks movements across kopjes, riverbeds, and open plains, revealing intimate scenes of hunting, resting, and social interaction.

During migration months, witness vast herds streaming through the Seronera Valley, accompanied by predators drawn to the abundance. The drama of survival unfolds before your eyes — calves testing their first steps, lions stalking from cover, vultures circling patiently above.

Enjoy a picnic lunch in the bush or return to camp for a relaxed midday break. The afternoon offers time to rest, read on your veranda, or watch wildlife pass quietly through camp.

Later, venture out again on an afternoon game drive, exploring new territories and capturing the shifting light as evening descends. Back at camp, gather around the fire pit for drinks and conversation before dinner is served in the mess tent, where chandeliers glow softly above richly set tables. Overnight under canvas, accompanied by the lullaby of the Serengeti.

Day 3 – Walking Safaris, Family Adventures & Balloon Excursions

This morning invites a deeper connection with the land through a guided bush walk. Accompanied by an armed ranger and your guide, explore the ecosystem on foot — reading tracks, identifying medicinal plants, and learning how the smallest creatures sustain the balance of life. This slow, mindful journey reveals the Serengeti from an entirely new perspective.

For families, the Lemala Cubs Program offers young explorers a delightful introduction to safari life, including bush tracking, Maasai storytelling, and traditional bow‑and‑arrow making — creating memories that inspire curiosity and respect for nature.

In the afternoon, relax at camp or prepare for a once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience: a hot‑air balloon safari at dawn or dusk. Drifting silently above the plains, you witness herds moving in graceful patterns below, rivers glinting in sunlight, and predators surveying their domain from ancient kopjes. A champagne breakfast in the bush completes this unforgettable adventure.

As night falls, enjoy a final fireside gathering, reflecting on days filled with discovery and wonder. Overnight at Lemala Ewanjan Camp.

Day 4 – Farewell Serengeti & Departure

After a final early‑morning game drive or relaxed breakfast in camp, bid farewell to the valley that has become your temporary home. Transfer back to Seronera Airstrip with en‑route wildlife viewing, carrying with you a profound appreciation for Tanzania’s wild heart as your onward journey continues.
