Accommodation
The camp’s eight open-fronted rooms are built into the boulders, offering panoramic views of the Serengeti below. Each suite features comfortable king-sized beds, en-suite bathrooms with hot showers and flush toilets, and shaded verandas ideal for relaxing or wildlife watching. The design balances rustic charm with comfort and privacy, giving guests a sense of complete escape in the heart of the wilderness.
Food & drink
Meals at Lamai Serengeti are fresh, thoughtful, and enjoyed in relaxed yet refined settings—whether in the open-air dining area, around the campfire, or in the privacy of your veranda. The menu blends local ingredients with international flair, and the camp’s attentive team ensures that dining is both personalised and in tune with the day’s adventures.
What to do
Game drives are the main focus at Lamai, with expert guides taking guests into the heart of big cat territory and to the banks of the Mara River during the migration months. Walking safaris offer a more intimate perspective on the landscape, led by highly trained guides and trackers. Outside the migration season, the region remains wonderfully quiet and rich in resident wildlife, making it a year-round safari gem.
Planning your stay
The Serengeti changes character through the year. Southern plains, central valleys, western corridor and northern river country are different choices; we position a camp for your dates and interests rather than promising a particular herd movement.
A two- or three-night stay gives time to settle in, while extra nights can be valuable if the migration is a priority. Consider how flights and onward connections affect time in the field.
