The LAMY safari is a workhorse pen, known throughout the fountain pen community for its ruggedness, reliability, and no-nonsense functionality. The triangular grip makes it great for those starting out who have no idea how to hold a fountain pen, but it's used and loved by fountain pen lovers of all levels of experience.

This apple green safari comes with an interchangeable silver steel nib, which can be easily swapped out for another size. This fountain pen comes with a blue LAMY ink cartridge so you can get started writing right away.

If you'd like to use bottled fountain pen ink, you can also purchase a LAMY Z28 converter.

This color was previously the special edition color of the year in 2012 before becoming a regular edition in 2016.

Note: To ensure quality performance, LAMY tests their pens as a final step in manufacturing. If you happen to see any residual blue ink, rest assured that this is normal.

Love the Lamy Safari pen! I purchased this pen to replace a 9 year old Lamy Safari

Love the Lamy Safari pen! I purchased this pen to replace a 9 year old Lamy Safari, this time in green as a contrast to my red journal cover. Fun! The pen cap posts solidly and the pen feels balanced in my hand and I write my daily art journal with pleasure. Planning to buy another pen for my studio. Thanks Goulet for your spot on customer service!

Great pen, Don't like the grip.

This is an excellent pen and I will purchase another LAMY pen in the future, but it has a rather severe triangle grip that I find uncomfortable to use. I do have larger than average hands and that might be a factor. But if you like triangle grips this will be a five-star pen for you, especially at this price point.

The LAMY Safari

I purchased the LAMY Safari shortly after getting the Pilot Metropolitan. I am surprised that I actually prefer the plastic Safari over the metal Metropolitan. I think it is the grip (as well as the green) that I prefer. Between the two, I would first recommend the Safari to a new fountain pen user.

I never knew what I was missing

Amazing, like anything German made, Mercedes Benz, BMW, Volkswagens, it worked flawlessly the first time around. I may never go back to using a regular pen. I never knew what I was missing.

LAMY Safari

The Safaris are wonderful! I have numerous other fountain pens but Lamy Safaries are clearly my favorites.

Viva le Safari!

I enjoy using the Lamy 'Safari' fountain pen more than I enjoy pens that sell for more than 20 times the price. The colors are a lot of fun, and the writing is so smooth. I do, however, recommend the cartridge over the adapter. The adapter did not work well for me.

Lamy Safari

Really fun pen. Quality and writing experience fantastic for the price point. Similar to a TWSBI GO, would make a great gift for someone just becoming interested in fountain pens. This one is a fun color, too, could see students loving it. I put Akkerman #28 bright green in it to match, and it's a nice break from my more conservative pens...

Lamy Safari Fountain Pen

The pen is great - and is my second Lamy purchase. As I get better about using and maintaining my fountain pens, the pens are performing better too. I had some problems with clogging but again, I think it was an issue with my techniques and not with the pen.

Lamy pen for sketching

So far so good , no leaks , nib fine but writes more like medium should have got extra fine. Very good pen for the price , will not be a disaster if I lose it somewhere unlike a very expensive pen.

A joy to use!

I have really been enjoying this pen! Even though the nib is XF, it still puts on a healthy amount of ink, and writes very smooth. It also posts well, feels well made, and the converter can hold a really good amount of ink!I hope to use it a bit more to be able to give a more detailed review, but I would definitely recommend it.

A good gift

This was a gift for my art student son. He immediately started doodling in his sketch book with it and said this is going to be awesome. He picked it out for himself and I had a very easy time ordering it online.

My first fountain pen!

I'm happy win this pen. I work as a Watchmaker and the pen sits nicely into my lab coat. Easy to set up and excellent quality for the price. I will be buying more colors and a converter so I can utilize bottled inks. I will be able to say a Lamy Safari was the start of my new hobby/addiction. Thank you Goulet pen company Steve

My First Fountain Pen

I got this as my first fountain pen and couldn't have made a better choice, I carry it every day. Light and comfortable for longer writing and easy to carry everywhere. I like the wider line of European nibs and the Safari doesn't disappoint. I chose fine because I wasn't sure how my pocket notebooks would handle the medium. I like this so much I got a second. Lamy blue isn't my favorite ink and I am let with cartridges in any future Safaris but the pen itself is awesome. Light and comfortable for longer writing and easy to carry everywhere.

Exactly what I was hoping!

I had purchased this pen at Amazon first before I knew about Goulet Pens, and ended up with a counterfeit. I sent that one back, ordered from Goulet, and was very pleased that I had the real deal the second time! Thank you!

Great Features!

I bought this pen to write in my Filofax daily calendar and it is a great fountain pen! My Pilot Metropolitan fine leaked on me which was kind of irritating having blue ink all over my hands! I have a medium nib Lamy and new it was didn't leak and wrote like a dream! When I was interested in buying an extra-fine point I turned to Lamy.

Love this pen!!!

I purchased this Lamy Safari after starting to use bullet journals, along with my Pilot Metropolitan that I've had for a couple months now. I got the apple green, its an amazing color and with the lamy green ink (I got violet too, which is also awesome) and I love all 3 purchases! The green ink really is a prefect mid-level green, the purple too-the pen is bright enough that I can always find it (one of the only problems with the pilot-that and the cap won't stay on) and this is going to be my new favorite pen. Very easy to write with and grip is nice. I will definitely use this company again, in fact I wish I found it sooner. The packaging was great & the videos are nice too- I love that there are people in this world that are as obsessed with pens as I am. :-)

Great low worry carry

I like this pen and carry it with me often bright color so it's hard to lose. Compared to its other half the Alstar it feels smaller but I have large hands and that's just a personal preference thing. The triangular grip on the Lamy pens is something I really like, for those of you like me obsessed with the angle of things the Lamy logo on the barrel can be turned up or down depending on which direction it is facing when you **** it back together.

Fun color

I purchased this pen as a gift, as a thank you for great service.Our town was hit by the No California fire. So this week we are getting back into our schedules.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fill this LAMY fountain pen with ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

This fountain pen can fill with proprietary LAMY ink cartridges, or from a LAMY converter.

A cartridge is small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write!

This pen uses proprietary LAMY ink cartridges, which are available in a range of colors.

As for converters, LAMY does make two different converters - the red Z28, and the black Z27. All of their fountain pens (except the 2000) can accept the black Z27; typically this converter is included with the higher-end LAMY pens like the aion, cp1, scala, and studio. The red Z28 has additional knobs for a more secure installation that is compatible (and sold separately) on the AL-star, joy, and safari.

We've got a great video demonstrating both filling methods here:

How do I clean a fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It depends on the filling mechanism, but it mostly comes down to flushing it out with water, and sometimes a little bit of Pen Flush if the ink is really stuck. 

It's a bit easier to show than to tell, so we've put together a few quick videos showing you the process:

We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors. Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.

What's your return policy? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

We accept returns for up to 30 days from purchase. You can read all our Return Policies here.
