The open plains of the Lamai Wedge are incredibly beautiful and abundant in game. The landscape is reminiscent of scenes from Out of Africa, and there is plenty of freedom to roam and explore.

The camp is situated opposite Crossing Point 4, midway among all crossing points along the river – and is perfectly positioned to spectate the wildebeest river crossings. Away from the river, this area of rolling savannah, boulder-strewn hillsides and fig-tree groves, is littered with inconceivably enormous herds of wildebeest, topi and zebra – as well as all the predators that gorge on this movable feast. Needless to say, the game-viewing we have access to is world-class. Cheetah, lion and elephant especially make for fantastic sighting, but it’s not unheard of to see the Big Five in a day.

An intimate cosy camp the tents are set on teak wood decks. Lamai is split into three intimate wings, furnishings and creature comforts include flushing toilets and indoor stroke outdoor showers in an en suite bathroom, enormous wrought-iron beds, Moroccan rugs, and all the trimmings that make it simplistically elegant and comfortable. The peaceful intimacy lends itself to exclusive bookings, or groups accompanied by private guides.
