This Week At Angama #131
7 August 2020
We’ve had the pleasure this week of hosting Clement Kiragu, Mutua Matheka, Trevor Maingi, and Josh Kisamwa at the lodge. Although their photographic niches vary, they all share a common love for the place we at Angama call home – the Maasai Mara. Here’s this week’s experience in their own words. The 2020 Great Migration...

31 July 2020
Every year the migration unfolds in a unique way. From the time the zebra and wildebeest first arrive in the Mara, to their movements in general throughout this northern reach of their annual circuit, to when they dramatically start crossing the river in massive numbers; no two years are alike.

Words simply cannot do justice when it comes to explaining the emotions attached to the arrival of the giant migratory herds into the Maasai Mara. This epic journey takes hundreds of thousands of wildebeest across the Serengeti ecosystem, culminating in extraordinary river crossings. This natural phenomenon is considered by many to be the pinnacle of...

It has been surreal, over these last four months, to be the only car in the Mara Triangle. A real privilege and a once-in-a-lifetime experience. However, part of what makes the Mara such a special place is that it is a natural system and a stage on which animals get to perform. Unknowingly, these animals...

Every day, whether bird or mammal, big or small, carnivore or herbivore, the goal is the same – survival. A good day for a jackal is a very bad one for an impala, and vice versa. [f 3.5, 1/500, ISO 200, -0.3] [f 7.1, 1/1600, ISO320, -1] [f 6.3, 1/1250, ISO 250, -0.67] [f 5.6,...

26 June 2020
It’s easy to focus on what is traditionally accepted as the “exciting” part of a game drive, especially when you’re a photographer or film maker – the thrill of a hunt or a rare animal sighting are usually top of mind and with good reason. The pink-backed pelican below is an example of such a...

18 June 2020
When out on safari, I usually have at least one particular animal that I’m hoping to see. There’s never really any specific reason behind this – it could be an animal I’ve never seen before or one that I haven’t seen in a while, or even an animal that I’m taken with at that particular...
