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

This is my second Lamy safari, I chose a Medium nib, and it is the smoothest writing experience I've had yet! I like the subtle texture on the grip section, and the same texture gives the look of the body a little something extra than just shiny black (definitely shows fingerprints). The plastic feels nice and sturdy, but sounds very plastic. The grip section helps keep me from rotating the pen as I write, and I've never had a hard start when holding it correctly (with either my EF or M nibs).
One of my first Lamy purchases.
I got the meteora in Fine, and this meteorite in Medium. I purchased converters with them in anticipation of using bottled ink. I filled this with Diamine Forever Ink - Raven. It writes well, with a pretty wet nib. These Lamy nibs may be some of the smoothest out of the box I've experienced (for less than $100 pens).
I'm still fairly new to fountain pens, but this is an INCREDIBLE entry level pen. It is lightweight, easy to use, an I have not had any of the flow problems I get with other pens. It's my daily user and I take a lot of notes throughout the day. 10/10, highly recommend.
This is an excellent collectible safari. Get it before it's gone.
I like the styling the pins look very sharp. I like the see-through ink window and the **** are replaceable.
my first safari pen and I must say I was impressed
The pen works fine, and maybe there's something in the pen details that I missed, but I was really disappointed when it arrived---the texture (on the non-textured parts, if that makes sense) is very glossy and feels more like cheap plastic than the typical Safari matte. Not a bad pen! Just not my type.
I hate to admit it, but this has become my favorite pen of all the many pens I own. It’s ease of use, simplicity, ruggedness, color ,and it’s modest price, have all added up to becoming my favorite and my go to writing instrument.
Great everyday pen! Writes smoothly and evenly, is light, and the triangular grip is easy to hold. I play to buy another one!
I love this PEN!!!!!
love these pens
Smooth and comfortable, as expected. Purple for my wife!
Excellent service for an excellent pen.
It's a Safari, and it lives up to the reputation. When I purchased this, I described it to a friend as the "Pilot G2 of fountain pens; everyone's probably got at least one laying around." My only gripe with this particular one is the gloss finish that makes it a fingerprint magnet. Otherwise, no complaints!
