The Angama Way
Swahili for ‘suspended in mid-air’, Angama offers high-touch safari experiences in one-of-a-kind locations across East Africa. Inn-keepers at heart, our team finds joy in looking after guests and reconnecting them with the natural world.
To create opportunities and make a tangible difference to the communities and ecosystems we operate in, we lease land from local landowners, hire locally and support education, healthcare & conservation projects through our Foundation.
Our properties are relaxed and gentle places — but also filled with fun and a dash of the unexpected. What we do is always honest, mindful that less is often so much more. And with no set schedules, days are simply crafted around what our guests would like to do.

It all started on the rim of Africa’s Great Rift Valley with a passion project more than ten years in the making.
Angama Mara is the culmination of Steve & Nicky Fitzgerald’s incredible careers developing and operating safari lodges all over the world at the helm of &Beyond.

Our safari guide, Robert … went above and beyond to ensure our kids were having fun and helped us spot the elusive leopard! Doris, our Camp Manager, was an absolute gem! From arranging special treats for the kids to an amazing walking safari …
The views of Kili are absolutely breathtaking! Sitting at the pool, on your deck, and looking at her while reading a book was just magical. We were fortunate to have Alice as our guide and she was fantastic! She got us incredibly close encounters with 4 super tuskers and a few lions. Andrew, our Butler … took amazing care of us. The entire team was top- …
Being escorted back to the rooms at night by Maasai guards, whilst hearing the deep-throated voice of a lion in the distance. Watching traditional Maasai crafting by the skilful women… Bringing Sammy from the onsite photographic studio on a game drive to take professional photos of us. A personal night game drive. Magical and Unforgettable.
…The hospitality is illustrated in many things … camp volleyball, hot water bottles warming our bed prior to turning in, a breakfast meal under an acacia tree on the savanna, a breakfast dinner sung in Swahili and many other special treats… Our family rarely returns to places we have visited — but without a doubt, we will be returning to the Angama Safar …
