Lamai Serengeti
This is not to say that all of the comforts you would expect from an exclusive property have been forgotten. Once inside, you can relax in the comfort of exquisite, locally designed furniture, or soak in the large en-suite bathtub.
Outside, each expansive veranda faces in a different direction, out across the surrounding plains, providing an idyllic retreat in between activities.
In the dining area, take your breakfast on the decking whilst watching elephants saunter across the serengeti. In the evening, dine on delicious cuisine surrounded by the sounds of the African night.
- Explore the Serengeti on an exciting 4X4 game drive, as you cover vast areas discovering the wealth of wildlife that’s resident here year-round.
- When the grasses are shorter you can head off with your guide on a bush walk, to spot the smaller creatures of the bush and learn how this diverse ecosystem supports all manner of species.
- Between July and October each year, one of the world’s largest animal migrations crosses through the lodge’s grounds. During this period, expect to witness vast numbers of the Serengeti’s wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle make their way towards the Mara River.
- Perhaps Tanzania's best-kept secret. Even when the majority of the wildebeest have departed south on their annual journey, this location is still home to an array of territorial predators.Which can offer an exceptionally exclusive and fruitful safari experience.
