Our mission here is to be the guardians of this magnificent sacred kopje and create a lodge that did no harm here was no mean feat. The camp was meticulously designed to mound to the kopje and blur lines between nature and us.

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 way to dodge the jaws of death in the Mara River, just down the track. On the Lamai Wedge, bristling with mammals all year round, there’s never a dull moment. Above it all, our beautiful kopje is a sacred wildlife haven – and our mission is to act as its faithful guardians. EVERYTHING IN OUR CAMPS IS LOCALLY SOURCED AND HAND MADE IN EAST AFRICA. WE THINK IT GIVES OUR CAMPS THAT EXTRA BIT OF RUGGED FLARE THAT’S UNIQUELY NOMAD. THE BEAUTIFUL MESS AREA AT LAMAI SERENGETI, WITH ENDLESS VIEWS OVER THE SERENGETI PLAINS. BREAKFAST WITH ENDLESS SERENGETI VIEWS FROM LAMAI SERENGETI. THE MAIN BAR AT LAMAI SERENGETI, FULL OF LOCALLY SOURCED AND INSPIRED INTERIORS AND THE COOLEST PLACE TO HANG OUT IN THE SERENGETI.

Understated style with light touch brilliance, welcome to Lamai To see and not be seen on this sacred site was a huge challenge, but we took that where nature leads, beauty and style would follow. And so it did. Lamai’s open fronted bedrooms are peppered around Kogakuria Kopje, a tumble of giant boulders that stand proud above the northern Serengeti grasslands.
