All you need to know

Intro

You can see from this outcrop, the Kogakuria Kopje, for miles and miles. Over a million wildebeest cross these plains on their way to dodge the jaws of death in the Mara River, just down the track.  On the Lamai Wedge, bristling with mammals all year round, there’s never a dull moment. Above it all, our beautiful kopje is a sacred wildlife haven – and our mission is to act as its faithful guardians.

Highlights

'To see, but not to be seen; to listen, but not to be heard.' This is the promise at Lamai Serengeti, where the rooms are slotted in to the kopje and the Serengeti wildebeest migration charges past oblivious between July and October. We also love it when the migration moves south between November - March, and in its wake, all the mobile camps - leaving us our own private Serengeti wilderness and masses of resident game.

Need To Know

Lamai Serengeti is a perfect choice for those looking for style and comfort but without distancing themselves from nature. The rooms are all open fronted, with netting that can be zipped closed. This is migration central between July - October and for the rest of the year, there is plenty of big resident game and great birdlife to see without the crowds.
