Set in a mesmerizing forest, only twenty minutes away from the Matambwe gate of the Nyerere National Park, the Lemara Eco Camp is an ideal retreat for the safari enthusiast. The Lemara Eco Camp, which was designed for the conscious traveler seeking proximity with wildlife, comfort and excellent value-for-money, is a charming lodge that respects both nature and locals. Let us bring you on a safari in one of the very last unspoilt places in the world.
The forest neighbouring the Lemara Eco Camp is home to elephants, leopards, baboons, antelopes, warthogs and many other animals and plants. With only three bandas, set appart from each other, the lodge offers privacy to let you enjoy a genuine experience of the bush. The bandas are built with local material to stay naturally fresh. Solar-powered fans are also here to assist nature on very hot days. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Each one of them benefits from a terrace opening on the wild. Sit back and enjoy life from the bush. Dinners are served in a different location every night, under a glittering canopy of stars.
Breakfast, lunch, apéro and dinner are served at the lodge.
