Welcome to Angama Safari Camp, a light-footprint tented camp accommodating up to eight guests in four lovely en-suite tents deep in the Mara Triangle, moving amidst the Great Migration between July and September. 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.
In the Heart of the Action
Enjoy the comforts of 21st-century camping, but with the thrill of having nothing but canvas between you and the Mara’s year-round abundant wildlife right on your doorstep. Safari days will be packed with adventure followed by peaceful evenings under the stars as you share stories and meals around the campfire.
Have a bit of Mara all to yourself including a 13-member private staff — a Camp Host, Butler, Chef, two Guides — including two vehicles
During the Migration Season, you will be the first at crossing sites and the last to leave, so you won’t miss any action
With camp in such close proximity, you can return at anytime for a bite to eat, a siesta, or a change of clothes, without having to exit the park
Staying inside the Mara means two hours of extra game drives — before sunrise and just after sunset — times when the animals are most active
With double-head showers with running hot water, flushing toilets, and fresh ice at your request, this is camping at its finest
The dedicated Safari Camp team plans each day around what the guests would like to do and when they would like to do it. With the Mara all around you, you can choose to enjoy game-viewing from the comfort of your bed, with a drink in hand in the Gazebo, or you can enjoy a full-day safari to the farthest corners of the Mara with a packed picnic lunch.
We’re often asked what one can expect from Angama Safari Camp. While no day is ever the same, a day in Mara might look something like this:
There are daily scheduled flights from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport directly to the Mara – approximately a 45-minute flight, depending on routing, followed by a safari from the airfield to the specific site where Angama Safari Camp has been set up. For those coming from elsewhere in East Africa, there is excellent air access from Nairobi and the Serengeti. Angama Safari Camp is also accessible by road from other camps in the Greater Maasai Mara.
Angama Safari Camp has four spacious en-suite tents, sleeping up to eight guests. There is also a smaller en-suite tent for a private guide, personal chef or host. Tents are bookable individually during Peak Season. In Standard Season, Safari Camp is exclusive-use only, and a minimum stay of two nights applies.
Children of all ages welcome. For our youngest guests, one triple tent can be offered upon request.
Kenya is classified as a malaria area. We recommend that guests contact their local medical clinic for professional advice, and that they obtain comprehensive travel insurance, including health cover, prior to travelling. Insect repellent is provided at all Angama properties.
The Mara enjoys a warm and temperate climate all year round. Summer months are October to April with temperatures of min 20˚C/68˚F and max 34˚C/94˚F; Winter is generally from May to September with temperatures varying between min 11˚C/52˚F and max 25˚C/77˚F. Rainfall generally occurs in brief afternoon thundershowers during the months of March to May and November to mid-December.
Check in at 12pm, check out at 10am. Early check-in and late check-out subject to availability.
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 Safari Camp…
…From the start, the experience with the Angama team was extraordinary. It is perfect for families and couples alike. Being directly in the reserve made it easy to explore even the furthest bits of the Maasai Mara being basically alone watching the animals… They literally made any wish come true. We will be back!
…The Safari Camp location meant we could go exploring just that bit further and catch exciting game sightings before returning to our camp in the wild for a delicious breakfast. Between game viewing and each memorable meal, we were more than contented just to relax and chill in this bush paradise, Angama Safari Camp.
