Lamai Camp - Serengeti National Park
This unique camp located in the north of the Serengeti is strategically placed close to the banks of the Mara river, known for the great Wildebeest migration crossing from the neighbouring Masai Mara. Built into the Kopjes, or giant volcanic rock boulders of the Serengeti, Lamai camp sits high above the vast plains offering the most spectacular panoramic views of the herds of animals and vast plains below. The rustic style of this lodge is seamlessly balanced with the elegant comfort provided by all the wonderful small touches and exceptional service. As with all Nomad properties, one feels instantly at home at Lamai and we feel this is an ideal camp for guests looking for some understated luxury in the bush.

AccommodationThe rooms at Lamai are some of the most beautiful we’ve seen. They aren’t built in typical safari tent style but rather with walls around the sides, a thatched roof and a mosquito net across the front so guests can enjoy the views of the Serengeti below. They are elegantly decorated with wooden floors, splashes of colour throughout the furnishings and wooden stable style doors. There is a expansive wooden veranda along the front of the rooms, which is the ideal place to sip coffee in the morning or enjoy a sundowner in evening. The spacious en-suite bathrooms are cleverly built to offer the same breathtaking views as the bedrooms.

Activities and AdventuresOnce a year between July and October over a million wildebeest cross the crocodile infested waters of the Mara river. Due to Lamai’s close proximity to the river, guests staying here during these months are likely to see this incredible natural spectacle. Game drives also offer guests the opportunity to enjoy the wide variety of other game that make up the Serengeti ecosystem, such as lions, leopards, buffalo, hyenas, giraffes and many more. During periods of the dry season, when the grass is short, and therefore the bush is easier to navigate on foot, bush walks are offered on the surrounding kopjes and along river lines.
