Lemala Kuria Hills Lodge is remotely located in the Wogakuria Hills of the Northern Serengeti. A scenic region characterized by grassy rolling hills, open woodland and tree-lined watercourses, 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. ​
Our lodge offers unrivalled luxury and sophistication, where you can choose to either relax in style or enjoy the Northern Serengeti’s excellent game viewing (without the crowds) with our superb guides in open 4×4 vehicles.
There are several dining options at the lodge or out in the bush, and delicious meals include a choice of starters, main courses, desserts and house drinks. Afternoon tea is served before your game drive, and cocktails at sunset are taken on one of the kopjes with distant views of the Isuria Escarpment in the Maasai Mara. The Melengali Spa is in a separate tent where you can indulge in massages and manicures in a peaceful, natural setting
The lodge is set in a private concession within the North Serengeti’s Wogakuria Hills area, which is characterised by rocky kopjes and big boulders. The famous River Mara is just half an hour away.

About Kogatende Airstrip
Kogatende Airstrip services the northern section of the Serengeti National Park, far away from the touristy southern sections of the park.
Most visitors arrive on scheduled flights from Arusha to Kogatende with Coastal Aviation, Tanganyika Flying Company or Regional Air. Chartered flights are also an option for this route.
Transfers from Kogatende to camps are done in game-viewing vehicles, sometimes crossing the Mara River.
Kogatende airstrip is an airstrip that is located on the banks of the Mara river and in northern Serengeti national park. It serves as a convenient way to access one of the most remote areas of the park as well as air safaris of some of its most beautiful landscapes. Image Credit Jim Griffin
