A sole-use tented camp

Welcome to Angama Safari Camp, a light-footprint sole-use tented camp accommodating up to eight guests in four lovely ensuite tents sited deep in the Maasai Mara. 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. Here, you can enjoy the comforts of 21st century camping, but with the thrill of having nothing but canvas between you, the Mara and year-round abundant wildlife right on your doorstep.

All this “Just for Me”

The sophistication of simplicity

With a fresh, playful and uncluttered approach, the ensuite guest tents have been designed for landscape orientation in order to maximise the light and views across the plains. Each features an extra-king length bed, writing desk, dressing room, vanity, separate w/c and the playful addition of double bucket showers. Interiors echo the much-loved elements from Angama Mara – red Fermob rocking chairs and furniture by master-weaver John Vogel – with the best of everything but always just the right amount of everything.

Unconstrained freedom

Each day the Safari Camp team, together with the guide and dedicated safari vehicle, plans our guests’ day around what they would like to do. From before sunrise to after sunset, safaris will be packed with adventure followed by stories around the camp fire. No one day will be the same as the one before. Perhaps set off in the early morning at to watch the sunrise over the Mara, enjoying breakfast and lunch picnic-style under a fig tree somewhere in the middle of nowhere? Or come back to the Safari Camp for a long, lazy lunch and a siesta – the choice is all yours.

Easy living in the guest area

Come together to relax in the cosy and charming guest area with a great book, or enjoy a delicious meal cooked over the coals. Welcoming leather couches in the lounge look onto the Fermob dining area furniture, while a little gazebo is set up just alongside, open on all four sides but shaded on top – the perfect place for mid-afternoon tea or a family lunch. The space is as perfect for two guests as it will be for eight, with the Safari Camp always tailored for our guests.

Tucked away in the heart of the action

Extraordinary wildlife experiences right on your doorstep with the Maasai Mara yours to explore. The exclusive camp site is surrounded by abundant resident wildlife – prides of lion, cheetah, leopard, large elephant herds, buffalo and abundant plains game. During the Migration Season, you will be right in the heart of the action, surrounded by the mega herds. With your days spent exploring the landscape and abundant resident wildlife, and your nights spent under the stars, you will fall asleep listening to the nocturnal silence of the wilderness punctuated by the sounds of lions and hyena calling.

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.

Roughing it, Armani-style

Nicky Fitzgerald

I know it’s a bit of a stretch using Signor Armani when describing a camping experience in Africa but I am certain he wouldn’t mind. He may even be flattered? We don’t have sequins, hand spun fabrics, glass beads and exquisite lace adorning our drop dead gorgeous addition to the family, Angama Safari Camp, but…

A Walk on the Wild Side

James Christian

Most people have a strong opinion about camels even if they’ve never met one. They spit, they’re noble, and they’re dumb. Kerry Glen and James Christian who run Karisia Walking Safaris beg to differ on these points (except of course the observation that camels are noble). In the wilder stretches of Laikipia County in Northern…
