Lemala Camps and Lodges

This herd was spotted crossing the Mara river at crossing no 10. Another massive river crossing as herds continue to flood south into the Serengeti! The gentle slopes at no 10 make it one of the easier crossing points for the wildebeest.

This megaherd was spotted crossing the Mara river at crossing no 10. An incredible sighting and certainly one of the most dramatic river crossings of the season! This megaherd was crossing south back into the Serengeti National Park.

This herd was spotted crossing the Mara river at crossing no 5. A fantastic sighting of a chaotic river crossing! Crossing no 5 is one of the more difficult crossing points for the wildebeest due to the rocks and stronger current which can be seen in the video.

The herds are about to reach Lemala Nanyukie Lodge in the Central Serengeti!

Lemala Nanyukie is situated just outside the Central Serengeti’s renowned Seronera, an area famous for its big concentrations of lion, cheetah and leopard. In addition, the area lies in the path of the Wildebeest Migration between April and June, and then again from November to January.

This is the best time to be in the Northern Serengeti!

Thousands of wildebeest were captured crossing at point number four. The herds were heading back north to the Mara.

Zebra included themselves in the crossing towards the end, along with a few crocs for some action.

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.
