With canvas walls, cathedral-like tented ceilings and broad hardwood decks, guests at Nanyukie can expect a light contemporary décor in a palette of dazzling whites and neutral colors, with warmth introduced by textured accessories, luxurious upholstery, wooden furnishings, and well-executed lighting. The main lodge area features a comfortable lounge and bar, outdoor viewing deck leading to a refreshing swimming pool, and indoor and outdoor dining areas. Additionally, Nanyukie can arrange special meals like lantern-lit dinners, and the campfire is perfect for a post-dinner drink and sharing tales about the day on safari.

A separate spa tent among the trees offers secluded relaxation. The 15 luxurious guest tents (13 standard suites + 1 x Two bedroom suite) are spaced well apart for maximum privacy-five have extra day beds so triples can be accommodated, and the two-bedroom one is perfect for families or friends.

Features include an oversized bed, spacious lounge, and generous bathroom with double vanity, indoor and outdoor showers and a free-standing bathtub. The delightful wooden deck has sunken seating, outdoor shower and stunning corner plunge pool with views directly across the Serengeti's magnificent grasslands.

Nanyukie Tented Lodge was created to fill a special niche in the Central Serengeti where there are few options for small, tented venues with good locations. Although the Seronera Valley is arguably the finest wildlife viewing destination on the face of the planet, the area is dominated by large hotel style lodges with less than optimal locations. Nanyukie was hence created to provide a lodging option for guests seeking a superb location in the Seronera Valley with a small and intimate setting.

Within minutes of leaving the lodge (or sometimes not leaving the lodge at all) guests have the opportunity to witness the thick populations of resident wildlife that thrive in the Central Serengeti. Lion, giraffe, elephant, cheetah, leopard, buffalo, hyena and impala can many times be encountered within a few minutes from the lodge. This property has arguably one of the best locations in the entire Serengeti for big game viewing! Its unique location on the border of between the Serengeti woodlands and grasslands means that wildlife viewing is superb year round.
