Lemuta Hill and Waterhole

Lemuta Hill offers simply the most remote and adventurous safari experience in Tanzania. We could almost guaranty that one would not encounter a single other vehicle. There are no landmarks here, nothing but green grass and blue sky and the infinite space between. Nothing, that is, except for a single hill that rises in the distance; Lemuta Hill is impossible to miss as it singularly ascends above the rest of the horizon. Visiting this area provides for unique opportunities such as off road driving, walking safaris and cultural tours.
