This unique camp captures the romance and adventure of the glorious Golden Age of safaris, yet with a lightness of spirit that will both surprise and delight guests.

Surrounded by the mega herds during the Migration season and abundant resident wildlife throughout the year, Angama Safari Camp embraces a fresh and uncluttered approach to mobile safari camp design, the tents have been turned to landscape orientation to maximise the light and views across the plains. The interiors echo the fresh approach to design of its sister camp, Angama Mara.

With a safari vehicle and Guide, safaris can start at sunrise and end after sunset, arriving back at the safari camp where the team are waiting to take care of each guest with gentle and warm Kenyan service.

Angama Mara

Guests enjoy hot-air ballooning, walking safaris, garden-to-table lunches in the Shamba, hosted photographic safaris, and time spent learning more about Maasai culture throughout the lodge, including a visit to the Masaai Mamas who create bespoke beadwork items — or simply do nothing at all.

Angama Amboseli

Angama Amboseli is an intimate lodge in the heart of the 5,700-acre private Kimana Sanctuary and the shadows of Mount Kilimanjaro.
