Found in the remote North of the Serengeti, Lamai Serengeti offers high-quality accommodation, expert guiding and an insight into one of nature's most famous spectacles: the Great Wildebeest Migration. The camp is located only a few miles from the Mara River, where wildebeest make their annual crossing from Kenya to Tanzania and brave the crocodile-filled waters.
Open-fronted rooms boast private verandas with wonderful views of the surrounds and each room blends seamlessly into the rocky Kopjes. The main mess area has plenty of space to lounge, a bar and a dining area, with an adjoining library/map room and swimming pool.

INSIDER TIP
"From July to October, the wildebeest gather in their millions and cross over the Mara River. A river crossing is a phenomenal sight, truly the stuff of wildlife documentaries."
