Camp Details
Standing proud above the plains, around a tumble of giant boulders.
You can see from this outcrop, the Kogakuria Kopje, for miles and miles. Over a million wildebeest cross these plains on their annual migration through the Serengeti to the Mara River, just down the track. Above it all, our beautiful kopje watches over and is a sacred wildlife haven – and our mission is to act as its faithful guardians.
8 open-fronted rooms, all with their own private & roomy verandas spread within the rocks and all have been sited with spectacular views and a unique vantage point and style. The main mess area has plenty of space to lounge, a bar and dining area, with adjoining library/map room and swimming pool.
All rooms have 24hr power and en-suite bathrooms with hot & cold running water, flush toilets and powerful showers. Three of the rooms are ideal for families, with two bedroomsand a shared adjoining bathroom.

Questions about Lamai
How close is Lamai to the Mara River crossings?
The camp stands on the Kogakuria Kopje in the northern Serengeti with the Mara River just down the track, so it is well placed when over a million wildebeest are moving through. Resident game stays around all year, which means the camp still rewards a visit outside the crossing months.
Are the rooms suitable for families?
Three of the eight rooms are set up for families, each with two bedrooms sharing an adjoining bathroom. All rooms are open-fronted with their own roomy private veranda, tucked among the boulders, and have 24-hour power and en suite bathrooms with hot and cold water, flush toilets and powerful showers.
Can Lamai be combined with other camps?
It works well alongside the mobile Serengeti Safari Camp and Entamanu Ngorongoro. You can fly between them or drive with a private Nomad guide and vehicle, which turns the transfers into part of the safari. Rates start from around US$755 per person per night, and walking is possible in some seasons.
