Why Angama Exists

The land was never really ours to begin with.

Every one of our properties sits on land leased directly from the communities who have always called it home. In Amboseli, that means the community-owned Kimana Sanctuary — a corridor the Super Tuskers still walk, because it was kept open for them.

In partnership with the Big Life Foundation, and through the work of the Angama Foundation, that lease fee becomes school fees, clinics, and rangers on the ground. It is not something we add to the stay. It is the reason the stay is possible at all.

How Many Days Should One Stay?

A perfect stay, day by day.

There's no single right answer — but here's what five days at Angama Mara might hold, if you let it unfold slowly.

Day One

Arrival, and the first view

You'll land on our airstrip below the escarpment, and climb the thousand feet that gives Angama Mara its name. The first sight of the Mara stretching out beneath your suite tends to still a room.

Day Two

Into the Mara Triangle

An early game drive, with the light still low and gold. Lion, elephant, and — if the season allows — the first wave of the Great Migration crossing the Mara River.

Day Three

Sunrise from a balloon

A pre-dawn wake-up, a basket, and a silence broken only by the burner. Landing in the grass for a bush breakfast, gin and tonic optional.

Day Four

On foot, in the Land of Giants

A walking safari with a Maasai naturalist, close enough to the ground to read the stories in it — before an Out of Africa picnic beneath the fever trees.

Day Five

A gentle day, and a lantern-lit farewell

Time by the pool, or none at all if you'd rather sleep. As the light drops, a sundowner boma — lanterns lit, stories told — before your last night suspended above it all.

In Their Own Words

Guests who keep returning.

"We watched a leopard from the deck of our suite before breakfast had even arrived. Our children still talk about it. We will be returning."

The Hartley Family — Angama Mara

"Our guide seemed to know every animal in the Mara Triangle by name. It felt less like a tour and more like being shown someone's home."

R. & S. Okafor — Angama Mara

"Kilimanjaro filled the entire window of our suite each morning. Ten suites meant we never once felt like we were sharing the mountain."

M. Delacroix — Angama Amboseli

"The forest BBQ, lit only by lantern, was the most romantic evening of our honeymoon — and we've been to a great many dinners since."

The Whitfields — Angama Mara

"Our camp manager remembered our daughter's name, and her fear of the dark, without being told twice. That's the whole of it, really."

J. Turner — Angama Safari Camp

"We came for the wildlife and left thinking most about the Kimana Sanctuary — and the Super Tuskers who still walk it because of it."
