Situated in the remote Lamai triangle in Tanzania, this permanent tented camp is a modern take on the classic East African safari. Close to the ground and off the grid, the concept and design of the camp encourages constant engagement with nature without compromising on creature comforts. The look is Bohemian chic: contemporary with splashes of bright colours, without sacrificing the elegant yet relaxed feet-up style that defines the Singita brand.

Season
East Africa is equatorial, so the climate is fairly constant, making Singita Lamai a perfect year-round destination.
It's difficult to predict exactly where the migrating wildebeest will be in a given month because movements depend so much on weather patterns. But generally over the year the animals move from the wet southern and eastern plains of the Serengeti from November to March and to the dryer north of the Serengeti National Park, both north and south of the Mara River, from the end of May through October.
The Green Season, from November to May, offers long, warm days with short downpours of rain transforming the landscape to a lush green teeming with diverse wildlife. From June to October is traditionally the migration season and days are warm, sunny and dry.
