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.

A suite comprises two separate tents joined by a communal living space – and we’ve found that families especially value this balance of proximity and privacy. With parents in one half and kids in the other, each has their own en suite bathroom – and if needs be, a third child can sleep in the living room.

By day, the living room is ideal for lounging and reading, lazy snoozing, playing board games or sorting through the day’s photos… In short, anything that entails spreading out and relaxing in a comfortable space.

While couples travelling together might find the arrangement a little too cosy, single friends on safari can enjoy the luxury of having their own space, but being close enough together not to fear those night noises that always seem louder when alone…

Our private camp in the Lamai wedge of the Northern Serengeti is suitable for those seeking seclusion. If you immerse yourself in it, osmosis begins to take effect, and the quietude and beauty quietly infuse your being.
