Lake Masek Tented Camp
A Wilderness Retreat with a Front-Row Seat to Nature
Overview
Lake Masek Tented Camp is a hidden gem located between the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the southern Serengeti, offering year-round game viewing in the heart of Tanzania’s wilderness. This eco-friendly camp, perched on the shores of Lake Masek, provides an immersive safari experience with panoramic views of the lake and distant mountain peaks. Whether you’re here to witness the renowned Wildebeest Migration from December to April or explore the vast plains throughout the year, Lake Masek Tented Camp offers an unforgettable stay in the wild.
A Prime Location for the Big Five and the Great Migration
Set against the backdrop of short grass plains, Lake Masek Tented Camp is ideally positioned for spectacular wildlife encounters. During the migration season, the surrounding plains are filled with massive herds of wildebeest and zebra, accompanied by predators such as cheetahs, lions, leopards, and hyenas, all drawn to the birthing grounds. Even outside of migration season, sightings of elephants, smaller cats, flamingos, and other birdlife are common, thanks to the camp’s proximity to Lake Masek.
Guests can enjoy thrilling game drives, or for a truly unique experience, additional excursions such as hot-air balloon safaris and visits to archaeological sites can be arranged.
Eco-Friendly Tented Suites with a Touch of Luxury
The camp boasts 20 spacious tented suites, each elevated on wooden platforms for enhanced views and comfort. The suites are designed to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings while providing all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay.
