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.

A Hot Air Balloon safari offers an opportunity to see the Serengeti from a unique perspective.

Follow a large herd of wildebeest, see a lion stalk its prey, or marvel at the magnificent scenery before touching down for a bush breakfast like no other.

The trip was terrific with great planning on your part. Most of the adventures were not mainstream and somewhat off the beaten path which made it especially enjoyable!! We felt taken care of and you all were readily available to respond to questions and issues.
