Lemala Nanyukie
Eastern Central Serengeti — Lemala Camps & Lodges
Lemala Nanyukie sits surrounded by rocky kopjes and shaded by giant acacia trees, with views overlooking the Serengeti’s grasslands from a quieter corner of the central Serengeti. The camp is positioned specifically for walking and foot-based exploration, considered one of the better areas in the Serengeti for time spent out of the vehicle.
Location and Landscape
Nanyukie’s surrounding kopjes provide natural vantage points for the area’s resident predators, while the open grassland supports strong sightings of plains game throughout the year. The camp’s location on the eastern side of central Serengeti keeps it away from the busier Seronera corridor, giving both game drives and walking activity a quieter, more exploratory character.
Accommodation
The camp’s tents follow Lemala’s classic safari styling, combining traditional furnishings with the comfort expected of a modern tented camp. As with other Lemala properties, the focus stays on connecting guests directly with the surrounding wilderness rather than maximalist luxury.
Safari Experience
Beyond conventional game drives, Nanyukie’s setting makes it one of the stronger options in the Serengeti for tracking game on foot, both small and large, accompanied by an experienced guide. This combination of vehicle and walking activity gives a Nanyukie stay a different rhythm to most central Serengeti camps.
When to Visit
Nanyukie offers strong year-round game viewing thanks to its position amid resident wildlife territory. The migration moves through this part of the Serengeti at points in its annual cycle, adding seasonal density to an already strong resident base.
Combining Lemala Nanyukie with Other Tanzania Destinations
Nanyukie pairs naturally with Lemala’s other Serengeti properties, Ewanjan and Kuria Hills Lodge, or with Lemala Ngorongoro and Mpingo Ridge for a wider northern Tanzania circuit.
