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 white 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.

Now I can write!

The pen is very good and improved my style and the syringe means I can refill cartridges easily with any color

My first Lamy: Love it

The pen offers the best ergonomics. No fatigue when writing for extended amount of time.

Disappointed

I love the Lamy pens and already had 4 of them. I love the way they fit my hand and write. The big complaint I have about the white one is the white goes done to the nib and gets stained. I am not able to remove the ink. I have a pink and a red Safari and I don't have this problem.

I Love LAMY Safari!

I loved my pink LAMY safari so much that I decided to buy a second! This time I bought the white LAMY safari (fine). I use my LAMY every day and it has never disappointed me. I'll continue to buy more in the future.

Lamy Safari Fountain Pen

The Lamy Safari fountain pen is my favorite fountain pen for writing and journaling. I have two, one with black ink and one with blue ink. The medium nib has this wet and silky ink flow that glides across the paper. The writing experience is sublime.

New favorite Lamy! Hit the jackpot as my pen has a “perfect” feed and nib!

New favorite Lamy! Hit the jackpot with a Lamy that has a “perfect” feed and nib! Writes perfect every time and consistently writes the same - feed doesn’t starve for ink. My pen writes as smooth and consistent as my Twsbi 580 Diamonds. I’m rethinking Lamy pens after this one….

Delivery Package with Care

About the pen, it could improve in the converter, which is small and needs to be refiled often, compared to other fountain pen that I had. I love the care that Goulet Pen Comp had packaging it. Nibs tend to be fragile, and they took that into consideration when packaging it for delivery - protecting the pen. I'll keep ordering fountain pens through this company because of the packaging process.

Lamy has been my go to brand so far, and I love this one just as much. It is currently inked with Noodlers Eel Blue, and using a Fine nib.

Great first pen, great gift pen

This was my first fountain pen purchase more than 5 years ago. It is still just as smooth and reliable as it was on day one. The clip fits dress shirts, scrubs, and jeans equally well. I continue to give these as gifts to my trainees, and they are very happy with them.

Good pen, great customer service!

The nib and the alternate nib I ordered were both scratchy, which is has not been the case for my other EDC Lamys (I used to use Metropolitans but they have to much mass to take a short fall without ruining a non replaceable nib three drops, three ruined nibs even with the cap on, SMH). Goulet replaced the nibs, without question, within 12 hours of receiving the original order. The new nibs were butter smooth. Good pen. Amazing customer service!

My Star Workhorse

I think I have a Safari in every room of the house by now. The reliability, the interchangeable nibs, the quick uncapping. Never a problem with skipping or hard starts. They work, and they come in cheerful colors--my everyday favorite!

Laura H.
One of my favorite everyday pens

I love these inexpensive fountain pens, and own a number in several colors. They work well, are lightweight so are good for an everyday carry, and are easy to clean and fill.

Great Beginner Fountain Pen!

I had been wanting to get into fountain pens for a while, as I'm trying to avoid all the waste of regular disposable pens, and I chose this one as a starting point. At first, I had a little trouble with the ink not flowing properly, but I watched a tutorial on YouTube and tweaked the nib just slightly and now it writes perfectly! For the price, quality, and clean look, I'm super happy with it. I just placed my second order so I can already tell that a new addiction has been sparked!

Review by Canadian Amateur Who Also Uses Four-Colour Bic Pens

Since this Lamy Safari is my second-ever fountain pen, and the first (Kaweco Sport) arrived barely prior, I can't reliably rate either. I assume that a very fancy pen (i.e., pricey) would write a smidge better, so I'm reserving 5 & 4 stars for that unlikely future purchase. But really, I can't imagine it makes much difference in terms of writing quality. Perhaps the Kaweco is slightly smoother to move across a page than the Lamy, which however provides more gristly feedback. Both are great. Looks-wise, the Kaweco looks handsome in an industrial kind of way. It's bigger than I expected.

Ultra reliable workhorse pen

Still regularly using a Safari purchased in the 70's and one purchased in the 80's. Wanted to add an extra-fine to the line up. These workhorse pens are consistent, sturdy, ideal size/weight and ultra reliable. Great snap on cap that posts beautifully. Superb writers, all three. I have dozens of other magnificent pens, both vintage and newer but keep coming back to these because they're just great.

Great pen, minor staining from careless use

This is now the third Safari I have purchased for my family, this time because my wife wanted an extra fine nib that was easy to care for. She's rough on pens and not sentimental about them at all, which means that they can get pretty beat up. The pen writes very well, and it's easy to maintain and use. The white color that we purchased has received a bit of minor staining on the cap of the pen from the blue ink with which it shipped. Given that this is a roughly used pen, this is acceptable, especially for the price.

Fantastic service

Wonderful. Fast. The little sticker and note were added charm. I also like the ability to buy a small amount of random ink to try out. Will absolutely be buying from Goulet Pens again.

A nice simple pen.

So I like this pen for one main reason and that being that it is white. White fountain pens are so hard to find it seems and so I like to snatch them up when I find one I like the look of. This is my first Lamy and I feel like it wasn't until I bought a Lamy that I finally entered the fountain pen world ha ha, even though I own other fountain pens, only because Lamy is such a staple brand. However I will say though that despite the nice color of it I will have to use it more to see if I truly like it. Off the bat I don't like the triangular grip as it's the first pen I've had that has one and it made me realize that I hold my pens a little bit different than the grip wants me to so I will have to get used to it. This is not a bad thing though just a difference in holding styles. The pen is very light if you like that in a pen. The material though I don't care for a whole lot as it feels too plasticky for me, and I mean plasticky in the cheaper sense, though not nearly as cheap as a Manuscript fountain pen feels as those are fairly cheap feeling. But if you have held a TWSBI Diamond 580 or Vac700 and then held this you will know what I mean about the Lamy material feels cheap by comparison, at least to me as far as a resin body is concerned. As far as writing though it writes just fine, good flow and no problems, it works great, which is ultimately what matters most. And something I do really like about it is the swappable nibs, and the reason for that is several things. 1. It lets you change sizes whenever you want or until you find the size that works for you without having to buy a new pen, this is very good. 2. Once you find the size of nib you like you can just keep buying new nibs or buy several at once and immediately have a life supply of nibs and use out of the pen, this is absolutely incredible. As for less than a 100$ in pen and nibs you can get a pen that you can use for the rest of your life. 3. If you value nib grinding and want to practice learning to do it yourself you can buy new nibs and practice on them without having to buy new pens which is nice. It is a good pen for anyone to use starter or not but as this pen is always compared to the Pilot Metropolitan I will say though that I like the Metropolitan more. But this is still a good pen and not a bad purchase.

Great so far! The steel nib is holding up better than I thought and for everyday use, it is doing its job well.

Fantastic quality pen!

I love this pen, I've been using it for class and it's so smooth. It's a great gift for a beginner fountain pen collector or just for anyone in general. The price is great as well for how well made it is. 10/10

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.
