Lamai Serengeti Camp is set high up on the beautiful Kogakuria Kopjes in the far north of the Serengeti National Park, with stunning views out towards the Mara River Valley and the Lamai Wedge. This elegant and substantial camp offers every modern comfort and convenience, while still retaining an intimate, eco-friendly ethos; so much so that, from a distance, it’s almost invisible among the boulders of the kopje.
Between July and October, Lamai Serengeti is in a prime position to witness the Great Migration of hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and is close enough to the Mara River to experience the awe-inspiring river crossings where masses of animals confront the deep, fast-flowing water and the enormous crocodiles that live within it. But even beyond the Migration season, a wealth of wildlife remains to be enjoyed. Game drives and safari walks accompanied by highly knowledgeable guides deliver a thrilling Big 5 experience, including an abundance of birds.
Perfect as a honeymoon destination or as a luxury retreat from which to enjoy the many splendors of the Serengeti, Lamai Serengeti Main Camp delivers the very best that this extraordinary region has to offer, from an incredible location to exceptional guiding, service, and cuisine.
Highlights
Activities
This is such a beautiful, yet natural lodge with airy spacious rooms showcasing the incredible views from the Kopje. It is for anyone that loves a rustic luxury, yet authentic feel and atmosphere. Leopards are well known in the area as well as lions for those of you who love Big cats.
Standard Room
Each of the eight rooms is placed to maximize privacy and blend into the surrounding kopje while taking advantage of the stunning views from their private verandahs. Built from thatch, canvas, and local timber, the enormous rooms are light and airy, enhanced by whitewashed floors and large gauze windows to allow the flow of cooling breezes. A writing desk and couch stand on either side of a massive bed, elegantly swathed in mosquito netting. The en suite bathrooms are whitewashed plaster and wood, featuring double basins, a flush toilet, and wonderfully large showers.
Facilities
The main building is set on several levels and is sited to enhance the spectacular views from the Kogakuria Kopjes from every possible angle. Built using a combination of wood, canvas, and plaster, the expansive interiors have a distinctly country-house feel, with pale neutral tones offset by bright splashes of colorful local fabrics. The first lounge area has plenty of comfortable sofas, placed to take advantage of the breeze that passes through while, in winter, a roaring fire is lit to ward off the cool of the evenings. Slightly below is a further, circular seating area with more sweeping views, while the creatively designed bar sits off to one side, complete with recycled tractor seats as furniture, and oil cans as lamp bases. A secluded swimming pool is tucked away among the boulders, where you can take in sweeping views of the Serengeti from the comfort of a sun lounger.
Dining
In the early morning, a tray with a freshly brewed pot of coffee and biscuits is delivered to your door, which you may enjoy at your leisure before your game drive. A more substantial breakfast is taken later in the morning, either while out on safari, or the terrace of the lodge. The lunch buffet features a buffet groaning with a delightful selection of tasty and wholesome dishes, ranging from crunchy fresh salads to delicious daily creations. Sumptuous multi-course dinners are either served at the communal table with your fellow travelers or in romantic, starlit seclusion out on the terrace.
