Serian’s Serengeti Lamai – Where Stillness Meets the Spectacle
Tucked into the gentle folds of the Kogakuria Kopje, just a whisper from the Mara River, Serian’s Serengeti Lamai is a front-row seat to one of nature’s most timeless dramas. From the shaded elegance of your private tent to the rustle of wildebeest hooves across the plains, this is the Serengeti at its most intimate—and its most alive.
Here, you don’t chase the wild—you dwell within it.
A Camp with a Soul as Deep as the Savannah
Designed by Alex Walker with reverence for space and silence, Lamai is more than a camp—it’s a sanctuary for seekers of solitude, spectacle, and connection.
Traditional canvas tents with polished wood accents and deep verandas overlooking the plains
King-size beds and en-suite bathrooms, with indoor comfort and outdoor elegance
Open-air showers that blur the line between privacy and wilderness
Personal attention that’s intuitive, never intrusive
Each detail is chosen not for excess, but for meaning—allowing nature to take center stage.
The Migration, Just Beyond Your Canvas
Perched strategically near the Mara River crossing, Lamai offers one of the best vantage points for the Great Wildebeest Migration:
Witness dramatic river crossings just minutes from camp
Encounter predators in motion—lions, leopards, cheetahs in pursuit
Marvel at the ever-moving herds in a choreography written by instinct and rain
Explore the northern Serengeti through game drives and walking safaris, led by some of Tanzania’s finest guides
Whether the herds are thundering past or the plains lie quiet and expectant, every day at Lamai brings a new chapter in the Serengeti’s unfolding story.
Wilderness, Without Walls
Serian’s philosophy is simple: give you space, and give nature the freedom to enter it.
Just a handful of tents to preserve privacy and presence
Exclusive-use safari vehicles—no schedules, no shared experiences
Flycamping and walking safaris for those drawn to the raw pulse of the bush
This is safari unfiltered, where you leave behind the noise of modern life and return to a rhythm that’s older than time.
Dining by Firelight, Storytelling by Starlight
Meals at Lamai are slow, soulful, and shared—not just food, but connection:
Dishes crafted with fresh, local ingredients and global inspiration
Candlelit dinners under the stars, with the sounds of the savannah as your soundtrack
Morning coffee with sunrise views and evening drinks with horizon-wide sunsets
Every meal is a pause to savor not just flavors, but the day’s wonders.
People Who Feel Like Kin, Not Staff
At Lamai, you’re hosted—not serviced. You’re guided—not managed. And always, you’re seen:
Guides and trackers whose bush wisdom is matched only by their warmth
Hosts who welcome you like family and know your preferences by heart
A team united by a deep love for place, people, and purpose
It’s hospitality that feels more like homecoming.

Serengeti, as It Was Meant to Be Felt
At Serian’s Serengeti Lamai, you don’t just watch the wild—you dwell in its silence, walk its red earth, and let it stir something forgotten. It’s not just about what you see—it’s about what you feel long after the dust has settled.
Remote. Rooted. Remarkably Serian.
Welcome to Lamai—your private window into the wild.
Serian’s Serengeti Lamai – Where Wilderness Welcomes You In
Cradled within the granite outcrops of the Kogakuria kopjes and gazing down toward the Mara River, Serian’s Serengeti Lamai is a hidden vantage point—both literally and spiritually. Positioned in the far reaches of Northern Serengeti, this intimate camp stands in quiet contrast to the drama of the Great Migration unfolding below.
Here, it’s not about conquering the wilderness. It’s about coexisting with it—silently, soulfully, side by side.
A Camp Rooted in Place, Elevated by Simplicity
Lamai is built not to impress the world, but to disappear into it. Its beauty lies in how it frames the land around it:
Canvas tents blending seamlessly with the rocks, trees, and views they inhabit
Interiors designed with intention—Tanzanian textures, artisanal details, space to breathe
Outdoor bush showers and freestanding tubs that let the breeze in and the wild stay close
Wooden decks made for long stares into the savannah, coffee in hand or stars overhead
Just a few tents, for just a few guests—exclusivity by way of intimacy, not opulence
This is luxury that whispers. Peace that doesn’t need permission.
The Great Migration, and the Moments In Between
Serian’s Lamai sits near the Mara River crossings, offering a front-row seat to one of nature’s most dramatic events. But the magic of Lamai lies not only in the thunder of hooves—it lives in the spaces between:
Predators on the prowl and prey on the move, painted in golden afternoon light
Solitary leopards draped over branches, and herds of elephants grazing in silence
Exclusive-use safari vehicles, allowing you to write your own narrative each day
Walking safaris with guides who move not just with knowledge—but reverence
An untouched Serengeti that still feels ancient, sacred, unhurried
Every game drive is a conversation. Every sighting, a shared secret with the land.
Flavors That Ground You
Meals at Lamai are not about extravagance—they’re about authenticity. About making you feel both here and home:
Farm-fresh produce, inspired by local seasons and global creativity
Bush breakfasts, starlit dinners, and fireside storytelling that lingers longer than the dessert
Menus tailored to all preferences, always prepared with care and heart
Dining that embraces simplicity, connection, and place—with the Serengeti as your backdrop
This is food that fuels both body and memory.
A Team That Lives the Land
More than a safari destination, Lamai is a camp lived in and loved by those who call it home:
Guides who track stories in the soil and translate silence into wonder
Camp hosts who make you feel instantly seen, instantly settled
A conservation-first ethos, where every experience respects the rhythm of the land
Staff who share not just service—but heritage, community, and belonging
At Lamai, you are not a guest—you are a temporary steward of something deeply timeless.

The Wild, Just As It Is. You, Just As You Are.
There’s a rhythm at Serian’s Lamai that can’t be described—only felt. It hums beneath the rocks, rides on the morning wind, and echoes in your chest as you sit with the sun and listen. Here, you don’t escape the world. You return to it—with your feet dusty, your senses sharpened, and your soul just a little more open.
Timeless. Textured. Truly Serian.
Welcome to Lamai—where the Serengeti doesn’t shout. It speaks
Serian’s Serengeti Lamai – Where the Edges of Wilderness Feel Like Home
Tucked among ancient kopjes above the Mara River, Serian’s Serengeti Lamai isn’t just set in the wild—it belongs to it. Perched in the far northern reaches of the Serengeti, this secluded camp offers front-row intimacy with one of the world’s greatest natural spectacles: the Great Migration.
Here, elevation brings clarity. Stillness becomes a teacher. And every sunrise unveils a new chapter of an ancient story.
Remote, Rooted, Remarkably Real
Crafted for quiet immersion rather than showy opulence, Lamai invites you into a more personal kind of luxury:
Spacious canvas tents tucked discreetly into rocky outcrops, with views that stretch forever
Hand-crafted furnishings and earthy palettes that reflect the Serengeti itself

This is comfort that lets the wild in, without ever letting it overwhelm.

Set just a short drive from the famed Mara River crossings, Lamai offers a privileged view of nature in motion:
Watch thousands of wildebeest charge the crocodile-filled waters, or graze peacefully outside your tent
See lions stalking in golden grass, leopards lounging in branches, and cheetahs scanning from termite mounds

Enjoy exclusive-use vehicles—giving you the freedom to explore at your own pace, on your own terms
Whether in full migration mode or the quiet season of reflection, Lamai pulses with life—and stillness.
Flavors of the Land, Shared with Heart
At Serian’s Lamai, meals are more than sustenance—they’re an expression of place, people, and peace:
Locally sourced ingredients prepared with global inspiration and heartfelt simplicity
Shared meals under canvas or stars, where stories linger longer than the courses
Breakfasts on the plains, fireside dinners, and sundowners with elephants for company
Flexible menus tailored to your tastes, including plant-based and allergy-conscious fare
Food is never rushed, never fussy—just delicious, genuine, and deeply grounding.
People Who Read the Wild Like a Poem

Hosts who treat you not like a guest, but a returning friend

KATJAJENI2024-02-15Uforgetable safari 5/5 We had been communicating on Whatsapp from my home country. They prepared various options at my request and were very responsive and kind. After arriving in Arusha, they picked us up at our hotel and left us at Kilimanjaro Airport as per our request. The safari was amazing! The lodges exceeded expectations, and the food there was also nice. The tour guide was so kind and fun, making the experience truly enjoyable. We saw all the Big Five and many other animals! It was an unforgettable experience!
Eva L2024-02-14Best safari It was great traveling with kilipath African safaris. They were amazing. My friend was unfortunately sick most of the safari, but the staff was very understanding and helped us a lot! Plus the food was so so delicious
Baasit K2024-02-07Words cannot explain how amazing this experience is Lovely/amazing/once in a life time/crazy/incredible… words cannot justify the experience that we have had with this tour, a gentleman called felix is who we booked our safari with and he picked us up personally from the airport and took us to our first hotel for the night in arush he was lovely and very kid hearted and hospitable, our driver was also very nice and very educated and alert to make sure we didn’t miss out on any of the amazing animals… and we saw lots, antelope/zebras/wild beasts/lions/rhinos/elephants/giraffes just to name a few… the camp site looked amazing however we had booked tented lodges before hand and regretted it incredibly when we had seen the camp sites but non the less the tented camps were also amazing, the food was incredible both on the safari and in the lodges and it was nice to have picnics with the group, I would 10000% advise you to book with these guys as just a recommendation is not enough, I hope to be back in the near future and will be booking with these guys again :)
Haleema H2024-02-07The best experience of my life This tour was absolutely amazing!! Our guide felix was absolutely amazing he made us super happy. The experience was far better than we thought and we got to see all big 5 and the migration of the zebras and wildbeast.
Allyson Phillip2024-01-30Amazing Day To Climbing Mountain Kilimanjaro My husband and I reserved a one-day hike to Mandara Hut on Kilimanjaro with our guide, Mr. Joel. He picked us up from the hotel at 6 am and returned us by 8 pm. Mr. Joel ensured our comfort throughout the day, attending to all our needs during the hike. We highly recommend him to anyone considering a Kilimanjaro trek.
