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.

Before Namiri Plains existed, these vast grasslands in Tanzania were closed off to visitors for over 20 years to help the cheetah population recover. This was a hugely successful conservation effort, and today, the area is home to healthy populations of elephants, zebras, giraffes, and many other animals.
Namiri Plains is now a remote and much-loved camp that offers an excellent base for a safari. The camp’s design is beautiful, with graceful tented roofs, luxurious outdoor tubs, and a deep-blue pool overlooking the endless Serengeti landscape.
Located by the Ngare Nanyuki River, the camp offers plenty of ways to relax. You can spend a sultry afternoon by the pool, indulge at the spa, or find a good book in the library, which is filled with fascinating materials about big cats and conservation.
We highly recommend enjoying a cocktail on your private deck and watching the incredible cloud formations that only the Serengeti sky can produce. Completely refurbished in 2019, Namiri Plains runs entirely on solar power, although after each breathtaking sunset, you’ll find that the stars alone are enough to light up your night.
Tucked away in the serene western reaches of the Serengeti, Grumeti Serengeti River Lodge embodies the very essence of Elspeth Huxley’s quote: a place untouched and teeming with life. Here, mornings begin with a symphony of birdsong and playful monkeys, a prelude to unforgettable game drives across the golden plains. As day fades, the grunts of hippos by the lodge’s lake lull you to sleep, punctuated by the occasional, thrilling roar of a lion – a perfect harmony described by Huxley. This luxurious lodge offers a traditional safari experience, reaching its peak during the awe-inspiring Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest and zebra brave the crocodile-infested Grumeti River in a spectacle of nature.
Remarkable mobile retreats united by a single philosophy: that true luxury lies in the harmony of discovery and comfort. Following the ancient rhythm of the Great Migration, our camps transition seamlessly between the dramatic crossings of the Mara River and the verdant plains of Ndutu Ngorongoro.
Each hand-crafted tented suite is a masterclass in understated elegance, offering expansive living spaces and a profound sense of place. Here, warm hospitality meets the raw beauty of the wild, inviting you to disconnect from the modern world and reconnect with the purest essence of nature.
