Serengeti National Park

Serian Serengeti Mobile Lamai

The ideal stay to spot river crossings

An immersion in the Serengeti

Serian Lamai is a traditional tented camp in the Serengeti National Park , just one kilometer from the Mara River above crossing point four. Here you can marvel as thousands of wildebeests and zebras plunge into the churning waters of the Mara river to reach the grasslands of Kenya

Open exclusively from June until September, Serian Lamai comprises four tents and two suites. These are fitted out with wrought iron beds and Moroccan rugs. Step out onto your veranda to see what the Serengeti has in store for you today, or head to the mess tent to enjoy a delicious meal. The fire-pit set up a short distance from the mess tent is the perfect spot for sipping a sundowner and sharing your safari stories. 

As well as catching the famous river crossings, you’ll spend your days here enjoying game drives across the rolling savannah that teems with cheetahs, lions and elephants.

Places to combine Serian Serengeti Mobile Lamai with

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater Lodge
Perched up high on the edge of this remarkable natural wonder, the Ngorongoro Crater Lodge holds a prime position. With views spanning the spectacular caldera, you can enjoy a relaxing visit to this otherwise bustling attraction and dip into a world that’s the permanent home to roughly 25,000 animals. The huge amounts of game that find sanctuary here roam over 20 kilometres on the crater floor and this allows for some excellent game viewing opportunities. Prides of bachelor lions are sometimes seen spanning the landscape, on the hunt for their own families and, dotted among the plains game, you might be lucky enough to spot a rhino in the distance. Morning and afternoon game drives are taken by highly experienced guides with visits to the nearby Olduvai Gorge available when vehicle occupancy allows. The crater itself can get quite busy but there’s a peaceful quiet that flows through the rooms, social areas and outside spaces of the lodge. North and South Camp both have twelve beautiful suites and the Tree Camp, slightly set apart from the others, has just six. Raised up on stilts, these rooms are all tastefully decorated with Tanzanian hardwoods and silk curtains which make the rooms cosy and warm; the ridge can get quite nippy, after all. The dining areas have viewing decks and comfortable indoor lounges which are ideal for catching up on some midday afternoon reading, or ticking off the birds that you might have seen so far. You could also decide to have a relaxing massage in your room, and completely pamper yourself.
