"Great camp and location"
Again, the camp is great, but I would not go again." See all these reviews: 6n in Tanzania
"Good stay during migration"
"Lamai Serengeti Feedback"
Mark and Chloe were remarkable hosts and it felt like we made almost instant companions despite the brevity of our stay there.
My only slight quibble was the quality of the (bird) guiding. Lovely chap though he was, too often he didn't know what the bird we were looking at was and on one occasion even blamed the poor quality of his binoculars.
Highlights were going out walking one afternoon and encountering two separate pairs of lions, crossing the border into the Masai Mara as part of the ongoing quest for cheetah and twelve elephants traversing the airstrip upon our departure." See all these reviews: 6n in Tanzania

Again an evening of star gazing on offer.
Excellent location for driving out, so much to see even close to the camp." See all these reviews: 8n in Tanzania; 5n in Zanzibar; 1n in Kenya
"Lamai Serengeti"
The food and overall standard of service was simply excellent.
I can't think of any holiday where our 8 days away seemed like 3 weeks! Lamai is a destination that everyone who has a passion for East Africa should go to. It's positioning high above the plains provides a really special location with unrivaled views.
Going 'out of season' had the benefit of few visitors but with great wildlife experiences - only the masses of wildebeest were missing but we saw those in the south in the first 4 days" See all these reviews: 9n in Tanzania

"Lamai Serengeti"
Our Banda was close to the Main House and it was nice to have our guides join us for drinks before dinner to talk about what we had seen and to plan for tomorrow. The food was delicious and varied with every meal. We had breakfast on the Lamai Wedge every morning, lunch back in camp, and a delicious dinner in the main house every evening. The managers Sacha and Tamilyn, were excellent and made everyone feel like part of a family. They had the ability to mix the guests, and were very knowledgeable about Tanzania. We loved the feel of the open bandas and the views down onto the plains. We also loved the decor of our open banda.
We would love to return again." See all these reviews: 34n in Tanzania; 5n in Zanzibar

"Nomad Lamia"
Waking up every morning to see the sunrise over the Serengeti was excellent and the Nomad guides were top notch. Will definitely go back and use Nomad again." See all these reviews: 9n in Tanzania
