Situated in the fabulous Eastern Serengeti, Lemala Nanyukie matches the same outstanding standards of comfort and service as the other properties in Lemala’s luxury collection. With canvas walls, cathedral-like tented ceilings, and broad hardwood decks, guests at Lemala Nanyukie can expect a light contemporary décor in a palette of dazzling whites and neutral colors, with warmth introduced by textured accessories, luxurious upholstery, wooden furnishings, and well-executed lighting.
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. Recently, this area was set aside for scientific research into predators, especially cheetah. As such, Lemala Nanyukie is open year-round, and Lemala’s highly-knowledgeable and experienced guides accompany safari activities like game drives and walk.

Inquire
Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!
