Laumei is a tribe from Survivor South Africa: Island of Secrets. Their tribe color is yellow.

Laumei entered the game ready to play, and their strong teamwork helped them go on a winning streak. However, that same winning streak prevented them from going through with their plans. After the tribe switch, Laumei took a nosedive and suffered a big losing streak, dropping three members before being dissolved in a second tribe switch. Still, the original Laumei entered the merge with the most surviving members out of the three tribes.
