The Serengeti, meaning ‘endless plains’ in the Maasai language, is undoubtedly one of the world’s most celebrated wilderness areas. Lemala Nanyukie is a 60-minute drive east of the Seronera Airstrip in the park’s central region. It is superbly located with outstanding views across these fascinating ‘endless plains.’ The lodge 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, so much so that until recently this area was set as, ide for scientific research into predators, especially cheetah. As such, Lemala Nanyukie is open year-round.
