The dash of survival at the Makutano crossing from northern Serengeti to southern Serengeti continues!

'Makutano' wildebeest crossing point means 'crossing' in Swahili. This is a great base to witness the migration roughly from August to the end of November.

Set in the picturesque Eastern section of the Serengeti National Park, the Lemala Nanyukie Lodge is a mix of affordability and exclusivity.  The main camp itself sits on a grassy savannah that is strewn with rocky kopjes and shaded by the giant acacia trees.  

Lemala Nanyukie promises well for travellers seeking deluxe accommodation in the fabulous Serengeti National Park. All safari activities from Nanyukie will be enjoyed in the presence of highly knowledgeable and experienced guides. This guarantees exciting sightings of the game!

Safari guide Frank Gabriel captured the great migration crossing no7 from the northern Serengeti to southern Serengeti! Lemala Kuria Hills Lodge is the closest accommodation to crossing point no7. 

Lemala Kuria Hills Lodge is beautifully situated, with the majority of rooms having a rare and remarkable view over the Serengeti sunset. With the Mara River only a half an hour game drive away, river crossings can be expected from mid-July to mid-November. During this season, drives are taken in modern Land Cruisers that have the security of the roof but are not closed-sided.
 
The Lodge does not have the understated style of more traditional camps but provides a comfortable experience for honeymooners for example - the size of rooms, bathrooms, infinity pools and G&T's admiring the sunset is the quintessence of luxury at an affordable price. 

Safari guide Frank Gabriel captured a huge herd of the wildebeest crossing the Makutano crossing point from Northern to Southern Serengeti. Makutano crossing point is close to the Kuria Hills Lodge.

Lemala Kuria Hills Lodge is perfectly positioned in the northern Serengeti’s Wogakurya Hills, in the path of passing wildebeest herds as they move to the Mara and back. The Mara River is the place to be, with river crossings proving to be the main attraction.

Safari guide Frank captured a large herd of the wildebeest crossing point no 2 from the northern Serengeti to southern Serengeti close to the Lemala Mara Tented Camp. 

Lemala Mara Tented Camp is set under shady trees in the heart of the northern Serengeti's best game viewing area, giving you front-row seats as the wildebeest and zebra herds make their way to the crocodile-infested Mara River.

It is situated very close to the river's popular crossing points, yet tucked away from the busy roads - which means less passing vehicles and more privacy. You will also have access to additional river crossing points where there are less crowds and better viewing opportunities. 

Safari guide Frank Gabriel captured a very huge dropdown on the riverbanks of crossing point No2 from Northern to Southern Serengeti.

Safari guide Frank Gabriel saw a huge crossing at point number 7 from the North to the Southern Serengeti. 

The herds are still spread out across the Northern section of the Serengeti pushing and shoving to cross the Mara River to get to the grasses on the Masai Mara side of the river. However, it is also quite common to see the herds cross the river to the north one day, only for them to undergo the terror and fright to cross to the south the next day.
