Lemala Kuria Hills Lodge

Lemala Camps & Lodges, East Africa’s trailblazing safari operator, is proud to unveil the completed renovation of Lemala Kuria Hills Lodge, introducing a new two-bedroom family suite, relocating its spa and redesigning and extending its main dining tent. The enhancements reflect Lemala’s approach to evolving its established properties by investing in the guest experience and making better use of its existing wilderness footprints, rather than continual expansion into new areas.

Set among the granite boulders and verdant kopjes of the remote Wogakuria Hill, Lemala Kuria Hills Lodge is immersed in a landscape of rolling grasslands, open woodland and tree-lined watercourses that supports abundant wildlife year-round. Located close to the Mara River, the lodge sits within the main corridor of the Great Migration during the traditional July to October season, while the wider Northern Serengeti offers exceptional wildlife viewing throughout the rest of the year. Further south in the Serengeti, the November to April green season transforms the landscape into a lush, wildlife-rich environment, coinciding with the annual calving season when thousands of newborn wildebeest and zebra, followed closely by the predators they attract.

The renovation was undertaken during the lodge’s annual March to May closure, enabling Lemala to enhance the guest experience while preserving the intimate character and distinctive landscape that define Kuria Hills. At the heart of the renovation is a new two-bedroom family suite, created on the site of the former spa. Designed as a contemporary evolution of the existing accommodation, the suite features modern interiors, generous living spaces and a private plunge pool, presenting a secluded and comfortable base for families or groups travelling together. The new configuration provides greater flexibility for multi-generational travel, allowing families to stay together while retaining privacy and space.

The addition brings Kuria Hills in line with the wider Lemala Camps & Lodges Tanzania portfolio, which offers two-bedroom accommodation options designed for families. Children are welcome at Kuria Hills, with the new suite offering greater enhanced accommodation options for those seeking to experience the region and its wonders together.

The Spa at Kuria Hills has also been relocated to a new position within the lodge’s grounds, creating a peaceful setting for treatments while allowing the former spa site to be reimagined as the new family accommodation. The lodge’s main dining tent has also been redesigned and extended, increasing space and improving the flow between the dining, bar and surrounding guest areas while keeping its panoramic connection to the landscape.

The renovation builds on the elements that have long defined Kuria Hills, where glass-fronted tented suites are discreetly positioned among the area’s huge granite boulders and kopjes, offering privacy and uninterrupted views across the surrounding Tanzania landscapes. Contemporary interiors are complemented by authentic African touches and shared spaces open onto the surrounding grasslands. Beyond the lodge, guests can explore the Northern Serengeti on guided game drives, walking safaris and hot-air balloon safaris, with the region’s relatively low visitor density offering a more intimate experience of its wildlife and wilderness.

With the renovation complete, the two-bedroom family suite is now available for bookings, offering families and groups a new way to experience the region while retaining the sense of space, privacy and connection to nature that Kuria Hills is known for.
