Overlooking the magical Mara River and nestled between striking giant boulders and kopjes, Lemala Kuria Hills Lodge offers fifteen contemporary glass-fronted tented suites, each having been carefully positioned for maximum privacy so that you can take advantage of the incredible vistas from your private plunge pool and deck.
The bar, swimming pool and dining area also boast incredible views across the wooded and grassy slopes of the Northern Serengeti, home to the famed annual wildebeest migration, as well as a host of other incredible wildlife. Morning and evening game safaris are conducted in custom-designed 4WD vehicles, led by expert guides who will introduce you to the unique flora and fauna of the region. Reflect on your day’s safari activities with sundowners served on the kopjes, overlooking the Isuria Escarpment, before heading for a delicious locally-sourced dinner in the cosy main tent.
Property Location
The lodge's surrounding area is renowned for its spectacular wildlife, offering safari-goers the chance to spot big cats, elephants, giraffe and rhinos on the open savannahs. The exact movement of animals is determined by the rains, while the iconic Great Migration of wildebeest and zebra can be seen passing through the Serengeti some time between June and October. While driving safaris are available, a great way to understand the eco-system of the Serengeti is to explore on foot. Lasting up to two hours, an experienced guide and an armed ranger will take you on a walking safari, on which you can learn how to identify the tracks of animals, understand the medicinal uses of the native plants and search for the smaller creatures that pay an integral role in the shaping of the landscape.
Children over the age of six years are warmly welcomed at Lemala Kuria Hills Lodge and there is a dedicated ‘Lemala Cubs’ programme to keep them occupied. During their stay, they can learn how to track animals around the camp, make plaster casts of spoor, or even learn how to make a bow and arrow with the local Maasai. In the evening, they'll love snuggling up around the camp fire to roast marshmallows as they listen to African stories.
Lemala Kuria Hills is the ideal spot for romance to flourish. The luxurious tented suites feature private plunge pools, while the bathrooms' beautiful freestanding tubs have some of the best views in the Serengeti. Private vehicles with a guide can be arranged at an additional cost, so the two of you can head off with a champagne picnic lunch and spend the whole day on safari.

The vast Serengeti National Park covers an area of nearly 13,000 square kilometres and is home to resident populations of lion, cheetah, giraffe and elephant. Rhinoceros, zebra and gazelles can also be seen grazing on the open plains, whilst hippopotamus wallow in the rivers. With 500 recorded bird species, this is truly a wildlife paradise. With the annual wildebeest and zebra migration passing through the park, it’s no wonder the Serengeti National Park is on most people’s bucket list.
One of the most spectacular wildlife experiences in the world can be seen in the Serengeti National Park, when over two-million wildebeest and half-a-million zebra migrate across the plains, in search of nutritious grass shoots, following the annual rains. It’s hard to comprehend the sheer volume of animals until you witness first-hand the vast herds as far as the eye can see.
Accompanied by an experienced guide and armed ranger, a walking safari is a great way to gain a greater insight into the eco-systems of the Serengeti. Learn how to identify the tracks of animals , as well as which plants are used for medicinal purposes by the Maasai, as you journey on foot.
