LAMAI AREA: Serian's Serengeti Lamai CAMP
4 nights: 20, 21, 22, 23 August.
This is quite a unique spot and exclusive way to go on safari: your private vehicle, your private guide AND spotters, for as long as you want out there, at your pace, on your schedule.
We suggest 4 nights so there is enough time to track the movements and follow them in different areas.
The camp is situated in the Serengeti National Park, opposite on a vital Crossing Point, 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.
Besides car drives we suggest to clients to fly camp for one night and also do walking safaris here.

KENYA
MARA NORTH: Ngare Serian Camp
3 nights: 24, 25, 26 August
This is a camp hugging the banks of the Mara, that feels is cosy and intimate. It can only over a narrow rope bridge – and in a way the crossover is symbolic: a call to step out of touch and out of time, and give yourself over to the natural charm of the place. There’s something special about being on the water’s edge – the water slipping and sloshing over the stones sets a soothing soundtrack, but at the same time its energy and movement lends lightness and life – green shoots, verdant growth and glossy rocks that metamorphose into hippos. Only 4 tents, super intimate and private.
You would be staying in a private concession in the Mara, located further north, away from the busiest migration routes. From there, you can choose to visit the migration area either on a full-day game drive or opt for a scenic helicopter flight (available at an additional cost, but significantly faster and more comfortable).
The wildlife viewing in this private concession is exceptional, especially when it comes to predators, and the overall experience is far more exclusive and peaceful compared to staying inside the national park itself — which, at this time of year, tends to get extremely crowded.
