Lemala Nanyukie Lodge

In the Serengeti National Park in Eastern Serengeti, lies Lemala Nanyukie that offers the same outstanding standards of comfort and service as the other properties in Lemala’s luxury collection. This includes Lemala Kuria Hills Lodge in the Northern Serengeti, Lemala Mpingo Ridge in Tarangire National Park, Lemala Osonjoi on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater and Hamerkop House by Lemala in Arusha.

Meaning ‘endless plains’ in the Maasai language, the Serengeti is undoubtedly one of the world's most celebrated wilderness areas. Lemala Nanyukie is located a 45-minute drive east of the Seronera Airstrip in the park’s central region, and is superbly located with outstanding views across these fascinating ‘endless plains’. The lodge itself sits on a grassy savanna dotted with rocky kopjes and shaded by ancient giant acacia trees.

This area of the Serengeti is crossed by the thrilling wildlife spectacle of the annual wildebeest migration, but also has high-density game-viewing at all times and is well-known for its large concentration of cats. As such Lemala Nanyukie will be open year-round, and safari activities like game drives and walks will be accompanied by Lemala’s highly-knowledgeable and experienced guides.
