Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

Lamai Serengeti

Lamai Serengeti sits tucked amongst the rocks of Kogakuria Kopje in the remote far northern sector of the Serengeti National Park. This camp enjoys panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, just a few miles from where the wildebeest cross the Mara River. For roughly a quarter of the year, between late July and October, this is where you'll find the migration. Right here, on our doorstep.

At Lamai Serengeti we have just 12 rooms in all. These are split between two entirely separate lodges, the Main Lodge of 8 rooms and our smaller Private Lodge of 4 rooms.

Each site has been carefully thought out. Firstly and most importantly, with the elements in mind, to take maximum advantage of the view, the sun, the wind and even the rain, welcome when it comes. The brief was simple: to become the guardian of this kopje, we needed to preserve all the things about it that has made it iconic.

Each lodge has its own private bar and dining area, with adjoining library and map room and each has its own natural rock swimming pool. All rooms have 24-hour power and en-suite bathrooms with hot and cold running water, flush toilets and powerful showers.

When one of the largest animal migrations in the world crosses your door step for several months of the year, as it does at Lamai Serengeti between July and October, it's sometimes easy to overlook what all of us who have spent so long in the Serengeti keep reminding ourselves.

It's not all about the migration. To define the Serengeti purely in terms of the wildebeest timetable is to massively underestimate the variety of this part of Africa.

Throughout the year, not only can we use our 4x4 s to explore the intricacies of the area, both south of the Mara River and (river state permitting) to the north, but we're able to offer walking safaris from here.
