Serian Lamai is an intimate bush camp situated in the beautiful and relatively quiet Lamai wedge of the Serengeti.
Comprising just 10 guest tents set on teak wood decks, Lamai is split into two wings. The camp provides an authentic bush experience whilst also being exceptionally comfortable. The emphasis is on good guiding, warm hospitality and good food. Each wing of the camp has its own mess tent with a dining and sitting area and a campfire.
The guest tents offer all the creature comforts, including flushing toilets and indoor stroke outdoor showers in an en suite bathroom, enormous wrought-iron beds, Moroccan rugs, and all the trimmings that make it feel homely, relaxed and informal.
The game viewing here is fabulous year-round and an excellent place to see predators. The camp has a prime position for access to the Mara River and is close to a crossing point. Between July and October, there is a chance of seeing a wildebeest river crossing.
This camp does not offer Wifi.
About This Area
The Serengeti National Park in Tanzania is a vast expanse of sprawling grasslands crisscrossed with the green veins of seasonal watercourses and dotted with grazing herds of game. An area of roughly 15,000 km sq, it is a jewel within the Greater Serengeti ecosystem and a haven for wildlife. In this vast wilderness you feel you can explore forever and never tire of it.
The northern Serengeti is home to good numbers of local resident wildlife throughout the year; it is a fantastic location for predators and the river is a permanent home for hippos and crocodiles. From mid-July to November, it hosts the great herds migrating between Kenya and Tanzania. An estimated two million wildebeest, half a million zebras, and countless other herbivores traverse the ecosystem during this time.
Choosing the right location within the ecosystem and the right season are of utmost importance, possibly more important than any other factors when planning your trip. We feel that the wildlife is phenomenal year-round in the northern Serengeti, with an incredible variety of different animals and good numbers of predators. However, during the few months of the peak tourist season the area can suffer terribly from overcrowding, which can detract from your experience. Our favourite time here is the low season when the migration isn’t in the area but all the resident wildlife is still spectacular and there are far fewer tourists.
