Angama Safari Camp
A LIGHT-FOOTPRINT SOLE-USE TENTED CAMP
A CAMP UNLIKE ANY OTHER
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, seperate 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.
GRACIOUS KENYAN SERVICE
If there is one thing we love, it is spoiling our guests. You can look forward to the same charming service that delights guests at Angama Mara when staying at Angama Safari Camp, with the same experienced team looking after every aspect of your stay with their warm Kenyan approach to hospitality where nothing is ever too much trouble. At Angama Safari Camp you will have your own dedicated safari guide, camp host, chef, and a team of butlers, kitchen staff and askaris to ensure every detail is taken care of.
EVERY MEAL IS A CELEBRATION
Meals are prepared using the freshest ingredients with the menu tailored around what you love to eat. Whether it’s an individually packed picnic under a tree somewhere in the middle of the Mara, or bitings shared around the campfire as the chef cooks dinner over the coals the food will always be good, but never fancy. Freshly baked bread, fire-roasted meat and vegetables, Kenyan cocktails and plenty of delicious surprises delivered with the warmest Kenyan smiles.
