LEMALA KURIA HILLS – NORTHERN SERENGETI

Lemala Kuria Hills Lodge is remotely located in the Wogakuria Hills of the Northern Serengeti – this scenic region is characterized by grassy rolling hills, open woodland and tree-lined watercourses and it is a habitat that attracts wildlife throughout the year.

Lemala Kuria Hills is in close proximity to the Mara River on the Serengeti’s border with Kenya’s Maasai Mara so is also within the main corridor of the world-famous wildebeest migration between July and October. ​

15 beautiful glass fronted tented suites are set within the granite kopjes with fabulous views over the Serengeti plains.

The public areas are dominated by magnificent kopjes and guests can enjoy the broad views of the grasslands from the bar, sitting and dining areas and swimming pool.
