Lamai Serengeti - out of this world
Unlike other areas within the Serengeti and Kenya's Masai Mara, this area (referred to as "Kogatende") is very remote, with very few camps. Meaning that tourists are very few in number, giving you a sense of being one with nature. Rarely did we ever run across other vehicles during our game drives.
Lamai Serengeti itself is, as the previous poster stated, understated luxury. The natural materials and colors used for the lodge blends in beautifully with the environment. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable with all of the amenities that you'd want in a high specification safari lodge. The food at Lamai is healthy and delicious as well - lunch is buffet-style, whereas for dinner you'll be served an appetizer, salad and a choice from several entrees, all done amazingly well.
We stayed at Lamai in the middle of the migration season and were able to see the Wildebeest crossings every single day... an awe-inspiring spectacle to say the least! In addition, we saw numerous lions, leopards, cheetas, giraffes... basically, everything that anyone would hope to see at a Tanzanian safari. Our guide Philip was knowledgeable, friendly, and - because we arranged a private tour - he was able to cater to our every whim.
One other benefit of this part of the Serengeti is that you're allowed out of the Land Cruiser, which is prohibited in most parts of Tanzania. You'll definitely want to walk around after hours and hours of being on bumpy game drives.
The lodge itself, as well as the location, staff, guides, activities and food made our stay an unforgettable one. It's not cheap, but for a once-in-a-lifetime trip (although we're not sure about that anymore, as far as we're concerned!), we highly recommend Lamai. It should be on the short list for anyone looking for an authentic and comfortable safari experience.

Lamai Serengeti - the greatest location
This was Myles Turner’s favourite campsite + you can see why!
It’s the greatest location in the Serengeti – if not the whole of Africa?
It is maajabu – miraculous – and we have loved every minute of our stay here
with Richard + Rem – specially the breakfast time leopard!
Asante sana

Lamai Serengeti - the perfect spot
What a fantastic place!. We had an amazing time there. Bas and Suzanne were the perfect hosts. They made us feel so welcome and almost as if we were part of a large family group. We dined together every night and their attention to detail is just spot on and yet the atmosphere is very casual - not easy to do but they certainly have done it. The food was wonderful - the best we have ever experienced on safari.
The staff were fantastic too, friendly, engaging and so attentive. There was one young lad called Reuben who entertained us every day. He was so passionate about his Massai life but also so enthusiastic about his job with the camp. We think he will go far. We had brilliant safaris with a guide called Godwin. He was extremely knowledgeable and great fun to be with. The location of the camp is so well though out.
From a distance you cannot see the buildings - they blend so well in to the natural environment. The view from the room is spectacular.
We wish you every luck with the camp. We would have no hesitation in recommending to anyone as the perfect spot - one of the best places we have ever visited.

Serengeti Safari Camp - blew us away
The safari experience totally blew us away. I will never look at camping in the same way again!!!
To be woken up every morning, with fresh coffee and to be able to sit outside our tent and watch the sunrise with zebra and wildebeest wandering by was truly magical. The location of the camp was just brilliant - we felt that we were right in the midst of it all. And we truly were as one morning we woke up to a family of Elephants trooping through the staff quarters and a young male lion wandering near the main camp!
The staff were fantastic and treated us like royalty! We felt totally spoilt and pampered from the moment we arrived. The thing I was most surprised about the food, it was absolutely amazing! I was totally in awe of the meals they managed to knock up in the camp, it put my cooking to shame!
Rem our guide was fantastic, so knowledgeable and interesting... and just a great guy in general. Really chatty and friendly but also would gave us plenty of time to ourselves too which made the whole thing a really relaxing experience.
