Lamai Serengeti (Nomad Tanzania) โ The Kogakuria Kopje Crown
Lamai Serengeti is operated by Nomad Tanzania and sits tucked amongst the rocks of the iconic Kogakuria Kopje in northern Serengeti โ a natural granite formation providing panoramic views of the Mara River valley below and the endless plains beyond. TripAdvisor reviewers describe it with rare unanimity: "If you were to visit only one place in the Serengeti, it ought be here." The kopje setting is genuinely spectacular โ open-fronted rooms look directly onto the landscape, with the wildebeest Migration visible from camp during its July-November passage.
Twelve carefully designed tents are split between the Main Camp and the smaller Private Camp, constructed from canvas, ferro and natural poles on spacious hardwood verandas among the rocks. Each room has exceptional views. Mara River crossings are 20 minutes away. The camp offers year-round game viewing (the northern Serengeti has outstanding resident wildlife) with the dramatic Migration season overlay from July to November. Families, groups and couples are all catered for, with the Private Camp giving an exclusive-use option.
Accommodation
Twelve tents in Main Camp and Private Camp. Open-fronted design on hardwood decking among the kopje rocks. Spacious verandas, en-suite bathrooms, hot and cold water. Pool, lounge and game drives. Year-round Big 5 plus Migration July-November. 20 minutes to Mara crossings.

Lamai Serengeti is one of the two or three finest camps in the entire Serengeti โ the Kogakuria Kopje setting, the "if you visit only one place" TripAdvisor consensus, the 20-minute access to Mara crossings, and the Nomad Tanzania operational quality combine for an experience that justifies its premium price. For a northern Serengeti Migration season stay, Lamai is our top recommendation.โ The SafariBando team
