Serian Serengeti Lamai, part of the highly regarded Serian portfolio, is a camp that embodies the classic spirit of safari. Perched in the northern Serengeti close to the Mara River, the camp offers a front‑row seat to the drama of the Great Migration and the raw wilderness that defines this remote corner of Tanzania. For travellers who value authenticity, intimacy, and a deep connection with nature, Serengeti Lamai is a timeless safari choice.

The camp features a small number of spacious, hand‑crafted tents that blend seamlessly into their surroundings. Each tent is furnished with comfortable beds, en‑suite bathrooms with flushing toilets and bucket showers, and private verandas overlooking the sweeping plains. The design is simple yet thoughtful, offering all the comforts required without losing the raw, classic safari atmosphere. The intimate scale of the camp ensures a sense of exclusivity and personal attention.
Dining
Dining at Serian Serengeti Lamai is convivial and relaxed, with meals often shared around a long table with fellow travellers and guides. Menus highlight fresh, seasonal ingredients prepared with flair, bringing together both international and local flavours. Bush breakfasts and sundowners add to the authentic safari feel, while evenings around the campfire create a warm and social atmosphere.
Experiences
Serian Serengeti Lamai is perfectly positioned for extraordinary game viewing. From July to November, the Great Migration moves through this area, bringing with it the spectacle of wildebeest river crossings and the predators that follow them. Guests enjoy the freedom of exclusive use of a private safari vehicle and guide, allowing for highly personalised game drives. Walking safaris, accompanied by expert guides and scouts, offer an immersive way to connect with the landscape, while night drives reveal the nocturnal life of the Serengeti.
Giving Back & Sustainability
Serian is deeply committed to conservation and sustainability. The camp is designed with a light footprint, using eco‑sensitive construction and operating on principles of minimal environmental impact. By employing and training local staff and sourcing much of its supplies from nearby communities, Serengeti Lamai ensures that the benefits of tourism flow directly to local people. In addition, Serian supports initiatives that contribute to wildlife conservation and the preservation of Tanzania’s unique cultural heritage.
