Lemara Eco Camp is a small, independently-owned eco-lodge perched on a hillside in pristine forest overlooking a river, situated between Kisaki village and the Matambwe gate of Nyerere National Park. Founded by Leepa, a young Maasai entrepreneur passionate about sustainable tourism, the camp offers comfortable tents and stone-and-thatch bandas built with local materials and powered by solar energy. The on-site restaurant serves home-cooked meals prepared with locally sourced ingredients.
Located just 20 minutes' drive from the Matambwe gate, the camp serves as an excellent base for game drives, boat cruises, and walking safaris in Nyerere National Park. The surrounding forest offers guided hikes where guests learn about traditional medicinal plants. The camp is accessible by road from Dar es Salaam, by the TAZARA railway stopping at Kisaki station 5 km away, or by charter flight. It appeals to conscious travelers seeking an authentic, community-connected experience at an accessible price point.
Africa's largest national park, carved out of the legendary Selous Game Reserve. The Rufiji River opens up boat safaris, walking safaris, and fly camping — things you simply can't do in the north — along with one of the world's biggest wild dog populations.
