Lamai Private Lodge
Private house perfect for family or small groups with The Migration on your doorstep, Lamai Private is a perfect choice for families or small groups who wish to remain anonymous.
Strung around the base of a granite kopje in the remote northern Serengeti, Lamai Private sits quietly apart, peering out over the endless bristling plains. From this secret perch, guests commune in complete privacy with one of the greatest wildlife theatres in Africa.
This is Migration country, a front-row seat for the Mara River crossings, a gateway to the Lamai Wedge, and a year-round haven for resident lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena, and vast herds of herbivores. Whether it’s the thundering drama of the wildebeest migration or the quiet thrill of stalking predators, the wildlife here is not only abundant, but always close.
Lamai Private offers all the soul and style of Lamai Serengeti, with the rare luxury of complete exclusivity. Ideal for families or groups of friends, this is safari as it should be: shared, unhurried, and deeply personal. The camp is part fabulous bush home, part expedition base - where communal tables and a sparkling pool draw people together, while spacious timber decks and hidden nooks offer solitude and stillness under vast Serengeti skies.
Game drives are led by private guides - wildlife obsessives, endlessly curious, and deeply connected to the land. With exclusive-use vehicles, you choose the pace: linger by a pride of lions, wait for a leopard to emerge from a thicket, or settle in by the Mara River as the wildebeest line up, uncertain and urgent.
And it’s not just about what you see, but how you see it. Walks on the plains reveal just how small one person feels in this epic landscape. And from the top of the kopje? Well, that’s where you’ll find that unmistakable Simba feeling.
At Lamai Private, the Serengeti becomes your own - raw, beautiful, and entirely unforgettable.
