Lemala Kuria Hills Lodge
Wogakuria Hills, Northern Serengeti — Lemala Camps & Lodges
Lemala Kuria Hills Lodge sits in the Wogakuria Hills of the northern Serengeti, a remote position near the Mara River that delivers some of the most consistent wildlife viewing in the entire ecosystem. The lodge offers a luxury permanent alternative to the area’s mobile camps, with year-round game viewing reinforced significantly during the migration season.
Location and Landscape
The Wogakuria Hills overlook the Mara River corridor, putting guests within reach of crossing points during the dry season migration months, alongside a strong resident population of lion, leopard and elephant that sustains good game viewing throughout the rest of the year. The hilly terrain gives the lodge a more elevated, panoramic relationship to the surrounding plains than camps positioned directly on flat ground.
Accommodation
The lodge’s suites are built to a luxury standard, finished with Lemala’s classic safari styling and positioned to take advantage of the surrounding hills’ views over the river valley below.
Safari Experience
Game drives focus on the Mara River area during the crossing season and the wider Wogakuria Hills throughout the rest of the year. The lodge’s elevated position adds a scenic dimension to game drives that flatter northern Serengeti camps cannot always replicate.
When to Visit
July through October brings the Mara River crossings within reach of the lodge, the most sought-after season for this part of the park. Outside this window, the area’s strong resident wildlife continues to deliver good game viewing, with considerably fewer vehicles sharing the same ground.
Combining Lemala Kuria Hills Lodge with Other Tanzania Destinations
Kuria Hills pairs naturally with Lemala’s other Serengeti properties, Ewanjan and Nanyukie, for travellers wanting to combine the northern crossings with central Serengeti’s year-round resident game.
