A special edition color for 2026! This fountain pen features a purple textured grip and body, with a matching purple cap, finial, and black trim/clip. 

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.

The safari comes with an interchangeable black 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.

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.

Lighter than expected without the cap

Lighter than expected without the cap. For some reason I did anticipate the body being heavier and metal.

One of my first Lamys

One of my first Lamys.

I purchased converters for my two Lamy safaris in anticipation of using bottled inks. The converters work well and slot into specific position giving confidence the pen is properly fitted with the converter. The meteora is in Fine and writes well, perhaps a bit wetter than other Fine nibs on different brands. The colors are nice and the pen is lightweight. It takes a few moments to get used to properly holding the pen with its shape. All in all a good purchase.

Suffers from intermittent ink starvation

When it writes - it writes beautifully. The problem is that every page or two, it will be starved for ink, and stop writing. It need a shake and making a few lines while pressing a little harder, and it will continue to write for a couple more pages. Cleaning it did no good, so I suspect that it is either a design problem or defective feed.

Out of this world!

This special edition Lamy is next level! Its deep purple barrel, black clip and nib, and subtle texture deliver an ultra-smooth writing experience; Meteora is my new favorite Safari! Fill it with Wearingeul Frankenstein ink for a perfect match.

My first fountain pen

I really like this! It's my first fountain pen and works really well. I gave this option a try in an attempt to accommodate my grip loss and it does help. You don't have to apply hardly any pressure and the texture on the pen body helps to feel the pen in my fingers easier.

Adore this pen, however the nib could use some work

The color and textured grip section on this pen are delightful and I wish the knurling was standard on all their Safari's, I adore the design of the Safari and it's certainly clear how this pen became so iconic

the extra fine nib that came with this pen however could use a bit of work, there's a lot of feedback and it writes closer to a medium-fine nib, as it's thicker than the Lamy Fine which is confusing

My new favorite pen

I'm new to the pen game, as I primarily use the Muji .38 pens and one Pilot cartridge fountain pen. I found my old fountain a little too thick, and this pen in EF writes like a dream. I also got a little Tootsie Pop in my package, which was a lovely surprise.

nice pen

I wanted to get a secondary pen on the cheaper side to bring with me on the go (work, school, ect) and this ended up being an excellent choice. I like the medium nib and it's plenty fine to write with. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a pen with a similar use case or if you're just trying to find a first one to get to see if you enjoy using fountain pens

Great deal

This pen is a great deal got the medium nib and it writes great. I prefer a broad line and this one still writes beautifully.

The pen is super reliable

The pen is super reliable. A few hick ups I didn’t know about. The “burping” of the ink when it’s running low. Simple fix, change the ink cartridge as soon as the pen start to leave too much ink in paper. The pen itself is great. The extra fine nib is not the same as the extra fine nib on the LX. Other than those quirks, highly recommend. The pen is so fun to write with and carry around that it’s a go-to pen for me very day hands down!

Lamy Safari > Tablet Computer

Nib: Fine
Ink: Noodler X-feather & lamy tester cart

Starting this semester, I had to make a decision between paper notes and getting a tablet for notes. I decided on, at the very least, trying out a pen. I liked my preppy but didnt like the grip diameter.

The narrower grip diameter and balance of the safari make for very comfortable writing all day. Class all day and then homework until 7P.M.? Easy peasy. Gorgeous color as well, although I hope someday they add some kaweco colors like Fox and the like. Some real 60s and 70s bleeding edge plastic tech colors.

The only con I can think of is the Fine nib is VERY wet. I am using an ink notorious for smearing, so hopefully a switch to Noodler Black will help.

Darker than pictured.

A very nice pen, however the color was much darker than what is pictured, almost black unless it’s brightly lit.

Great pen and an awesome company to order from!

Its a beautiful color and a great writer. Goulet had great packaging and although it was raining hard out and package got soaked everything was untouched inside, so grateful for that.

It’s a Safari - a good thing

What can you say? It’s a Safari. The barrel texture is a new thing to me. The color is nice but doesn’t blow my hair back like some of the vintage pens.

Nice treat to step up

I've had a Lamy Safari as my "at-work" fountain pen for years. The purple special edition is a beautiful treat for myself and a nice step up: the color is wonderful, the texture grip a nice addition, and it's the same Safari I've relied on for many years.

Kind of similar to the Dark Dusk color and also the Blackberry

Kind of similar to the Dark Dusk color and also the Blackberry. I do like the texture on it and can't keep my hands off of it. Writes very nicely.

Classic LAMY Safari

This is a lovely pen - I describe it as a dark blackberry color. When I ordered the pen, I also ordered the LAMY converter and a LAMY Broad nib for use in it. I've been pleased. The texture on the pen adds a subtle detail. I can be bothered by texture on pens when I hold them, this one is subtle enough that it is not bothersome. It writes wonderfully and is not bothered by the shimmer ink I'm using in it (Wearingeul Persephone). I recommend this pen whether you are new to fountain pens or a seasoned consumer.

Great Goulet service as usual

Great Goulet service as usual. Lamy pen consistency is a delight. I do like the slight diamond texturing on the grip area on the Meteora, not intrusive at all. The dark purple color is a nice change in the pen color palette. Thank you to Brian for his educational YT videos which are helping me learn more about pens, nibs, inks and his helpful hints for a better writing experience. I appreciate all of his work in the preparation for them. Much appreciated.
Cheers, Michael

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
