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 shiny black 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.

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.

My boss said "Is that a LAMY"?

I was in my first meeting at my new job talking some notes. There were about 9 people in the meeting and he stopped mid sentence and said "Is that one of those LAMY'S? Then someonevelse said "is that a fountain pen"? Of course I said "Yup, countries Pena are still a thing".My mother have me her fountain pen collection including "The Boss" Mont Blanc, many other popular pens. My first purchase personally were two LAMY'S, and red one with black kont Blanc black ink and a black one with red Pelican Edelstei. I'm so hooked!Thank you.

Form follows function.

Form follows function. And this pen is nothing if not functional. Very much the writing equivalent of what Casio is to watches. It does its job and it does it well. Very pleased with this purchase!

I am new to fountain pens. I have been using my Lamy Safari to get the feel for it...It came with a cartridge so I am using that but as soon as I empty it I will use a converter. As of today.... I am really enjoying using it!

Love this Pen

smooth and perfectly weighted - prefer the medium nib over the fine though, providing a smoother flow of writing. Ink dries very quickly and no bleed through noticed

Beautifully designed quality pen.

The Lamy Safari fountain pen is the lightest weight fountain pen I own and I love it. The flat areas on the barrel provide a perfect grip surface. The extra fine nib puts a beautifully narrow line of ink down on the paper, and the medium blue ink cartridge that it comes with is, in my opinion, one of the nicest shades of blue I've ever used. The plastic barrel and cap are the reason for the pen's feather-weight. My first impression was that the pen looks and feels cheap. Then I wrote with it for the first time and I was sold on this pen. My only complaint is that it's overpriced, and it doesn't come with a converter; the optional converter (also overpriced) is an extra expense. Had the converter come with the pen, the higher price would have been more justifiable. Overall, this is one beautiful pen.

Great starter pen

I really like the build of the pen, the grip is really nice and the pennis sturdy yet really light. I purchased the converter and filling the pen was really easy.

No dissapointments here!

I've been buying from The Goulet Pen since 2018 and the pens are very long lasting. The writing quality feel even smoother on the right paper but I would suggest buying a converter. Investment for work/school/personal writing.

Wished I bought this sooner.

Writing with this pen is like being on a cloud almost. I purchased the fine nib, so it is a little scratchy, but the way the ink just goes on the page is just outstanding. I own quite a few pens by now. Pilot Kakuno, Kaweco Sport Classic to name a few. This one just checks all of the marks in what I look for in a fountain pen. Yes, the price is a little much for some on a budget. And the triangular grip might not be for all, but you really are getting your money's worth plus more for years to come. A worthwhile investment if you're just starting out or someone that's been into fountain pens for years. If I had to restart, with all the knowledge I know now, I would definitely get this one first, no questions asked. Simple, lightweight, no nonsense. It's always ready when you need it the most. Definitely recommend this pen.

LAMY Safari Fountain Pen - Shiny Black

Great; but I really like the workhorse-nature and 'heft' of Lamy pens, anyway. The Fine-point nib is great using even, um, less than optimum paper.

Lamy Safari

Great pen. Writes smoothly. My Lamy has a fine nib which feels more like a medium when compared to a Japanese fine nib. Highly recommend this pen for any pen user.

Well made

Fills my want (who needs a fountain pen) very well. Been writing with dip nibs for many year. Decided to research and purchase. This pen is well made and marks the paper very well. Lacks the flourish of my dipper but will serve well and probably out last me.

Great starter pen

There's nothing new I can say about the Safari. Suffice to say that this was my first fountain pen and my first purchase from Goulet Pens. Both were excellent choices. I enjoyed the Safari writing experience so much that I'm now a fully converted fountain pen devotee.

Great pens

I love the Lamy Safari fountain pens. I now have six or seven so I can switch ink colors easily. Highly recommend them for a great and inexpensive pen. The medium nib is my favorite.

I now have a few Lamy Safari fountain Pens for sketching. Excellent flow with Diamine inks. Pen has a good shape and size. Light and easy on the hand.

Good starter pen.

My first ink in this pen was one I chose randomly from my ink selection, Diamine Grape. It wrote fine, but I didn't end up liking the color. I then inked it up with Iroshizuku Ina-Ho, but that had some flowing problems, so I put Noodler's Polar Brown in it, that didn't work either, so I eventually gave up. (sorry for the commas)

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.
