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.

Customer Reviews
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!
Lamy's products are excellent. You can't go wrong.
Lamy’s products are excellent. You can’t go wrong.
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
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.
