With only 25 exclusive suites, Kubu Kubu offers an intimate sanctuary perched on elegant timber platforms. Each tent blends modern African chic with the raw beauty of the Serengeti, providing a sophisticated escape into the wild.
The highlight of every suite is the private outdoor shower, where you can refresh under a canopy of stars. Your secluded terrace serves as a front-row seat to the vast savannah, offering total peace and privacy.
For families, our Interconnected Suites provide the perfect balance of proximity and space. Two full en-suite rooms are joined to ensure everyone enjoys their own private porch while staying comfortably close together.
Guided by your Bush 2 City Safari Director, the Serengeti becomes more than a destination—it becomes a revelation. In the company of our expert guides, you will discover the Africa of your dreams: a golden paradise “caressed by light and air,” where every private game drive feels like a personal audience with the wild.
In the cool, crystalline air of dawn, witness the savannah awaken. You may find yourself remarkably close to a pride of lions as they begin their day, their fiery gaze passing through your vehicle as if you were merely a passing cloud. Nearby, elephants pace the horizon with timeless grace, “as if they had an appointment at the end of the world.”
The landscape is a living masterpiece. From the “galumphing” play of hippos in hidden pools to the infinite, shimmering streams of the Great Migration, every moment is framed by the legendary African sky. It is an incandescent canopy of pink and slate-blue clouds so rich and dramatic, they look—as Hemingway once noted—as though you could scoop them up with a spoon.
Lemala Nanyukie in the fabulous Eastern Serengeti exemplifies the outstanding comfort and service found across Lemala’s luxury properties. Meaning “endless plains” in Maasai, the Serengeti is a globally celebrated wilderness where Lemala Nanyukie is perfectly positioned a swift 60-minute drive east of Seronera Airstrip, offering breathtaking views from its savanna setting amidst ancient acacia trees and rocky kopjes. This vibrant region not only hosts the thrilling annual wildebeest migration but also boasts exceptional, year-round high-density game viewing, particularly of big cats, in an area once reserved for predator research. Consequently, Lemala Nanyukie welcomes guests all year, with all safari activities expertly led by highly knowledgeable guides.
