The lodge excels in creating "safari magic" through its signature bush breakfasts on the savannah and romantic, lantern-lit dinners, all complemented by personalized service that caters to individual dietary needs with ease.

Safari Experience

Most of your time at Nanyukie will be spent out on game drives, exploring the world-famous Serengeti. You might head out with a guide for a sunrise safari, come back for lunch, then head out again at 4pm. It’s also fun to do a whole-day drive with picnic lunch, especially during the Annual Great Migration when the herds are on the move. For a different perspective of the Serengeti, they can also arrange sunrise balloon safaris and walking tours where you’ll discover flora, animal tracks and see game on foot.
