Set plum in the middle of one of the richest game areas in the Serengeti, this bush home from home is designed specifically with little children in mind, as well as being a great place for groups of friends. Mkombe was a guide who cherished this area and connected strongly with children – and their parents. He would have seriously loved it here, as will anyone who stays in the house we named after him.
Mkombe’s House Lamai is located in the northern Serengeti, set within the iconic Kogakuria Kopjes with views out over the Mara River Valley and Lamai Wedge.

A further two bedrooms are smaller, secure and enclosed, ideal for younger children, also with their own en-suite bathroom, these rooms can sleep three children comfortably.
