A haven on the outskirts of one of Tanzania's cultural hubs, Legendary Lodge's setting within a century-old coffee estate tempers its urban surrounds. The estate's original farmhouse serves as the heart of the lodge, where its heritage is celebrated in stately antiques and curios that lend it a lived-in warmth.
Footpaths run across the lawns to ten garden cottages and two family cottages. Within each, fireplaces cast a warm glow come evening, while four-poster beds draped in mosquito netting and clawfoot tubs invite the deep rest that long-haul travel demands.
There are no set times for meals. You can play croquet on the lawns, set up an easel in the garden, or walk, run, or cycle the trails through the estate, and the pool is there for sunny afternoons. Legendary Lodge works in both directions: a place to ease into the rhythm of Tanzania before heading into the wild, and a place to let the wild linger before heading home.

Lamai Serengeti sits tucked amongst the rocks of Kogakuria Kopje with panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, only a few miles from where the wildebeest cross the Mara River. For roughly a quarter of the year, between late July and October, this is where you'll find the migration. Right here, on our doorstep. For the rest of the year, it is wild Serengeti with all the resident game of the Masai Mara but without the people.
Each of the rooms is designed to fit into the complex geometry of the kopje and to make the most of this sensational location, its views and its natural space and light. The rooms are a blend of canvas, plaster and natural poles.

In 2014, Asilia was one of the first companies to build a camp in the grasslands of the Eastern Serengeti. Before that date, the area was only accessible to wildlife researchers. Today, it’s one of the best areas to view carnivores like cheetah, lion, spotted hyaena and golden jackal and aardwolf. The open terrain and mixed habitats are great for photography. It is also an area that the migrating herds of wildebeest and zebra sometimes pass through.
