Lake Masek Tented Camp
Lake Masek Tented Camp
Lake Masek Tented Camp is a mid-range tented camp on the shores of alkaline Lake Masek in the Ndutu area of the southern Serengeti ecosystem, surrounded by fever trees and acacia woodland. The location becomes exceptional during the wildebeest calving season from December through March when hundreds of thousands of animals converge on the surrounding short-grass plains for the annual calving spectacle — up to 8,000 calves born daily at peak intensity. Comfortable canvas tents with en-suite facilities, quality bedding, and views across the lake shore provide solid accommodation. A central dining and lounge tent offers buffet meals and a campfire circle for evening wildlife discussions. Resident flamingos on the alkaline lake, hippos in deeper pools, and predators tracking calving herds pass close to camp regularly. Lake Masek delivers the southern Serengeti calving experience at a price point accessible to a wider range of safari travelers than the luxury seasonal camps nearby.
