You can see from this outcrop, the Kogakuria Kopje, for miles and miles. Over a million wildebeest cross these plains on their way to dodge the jaws of death in the Mara River, just down the track. On the Lamai Wedge, bristling with mammals all year round, there’s never a dull moment. Above it all, our beautiful kopje is a sacred wildlife haven – and our mission is to act as its faithful guardians.
For an exclusive Lamai experience check out Lamai Private.
The lodge is located in a prime kopje-top location the northern Serengeti, a couple of km from the Mara River.
