Mkombe’s House

The only self-contained private house in the Serengeti, and 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 named after him.

Mkombe's House Lamai fulfils the promise of the Serengeti many times over - by car and on foot - in these remote, less-travelled short grass plains. This remote part of the Serengeti is bisected by the perilous Mara River, where once a year, between July and October, over a million-strong wildebeest and zebra throw themselves across its crocodile-infested waters, heading for where the grass is greener. This makes for spectacular predator and prey viewing on the banks in the late dry season.
