Angama Safari Camp

arguably the best exclusive-use camp in the Mara

Angama Safari Camp is located in the Mara Triangle sector of the Maasai Mara of southwest Kenya.

Set out in the Mara Triangle, this mobile tented camp is centred on a tented mess, leading out to a campfire area.

It is available for rent in its entirety for groups of up to eight guests.

Rooms

Guest accommodation at Angama Safari Camp is in just four elegant tented rooms, each with an indoor bathroom.

Activities

Angama Safari Camp provides the following guided activities, not all of which are necessarily included in the room rate …

• Vehicle safari
• Walking safari
• Balloon safari
• Bush meals
• Cultural interaction

The Maasai Mara tends to feature in almost all safari trips to Kenya. As well as being the best known reserve, it is also the most productive for wildlife.

The usual stay duration is 4-8 nights split between two camps, less frequently 3-4 nights in just one camp.

Seasonality

The best time of year to visit the Maasai Mara area is generally considered to be the Jul-Oct dry season, when the weather should be reliably good and the migration herds are likely to be around.

The Nov-Jun green season may be much less dependable for weather, but remains really strong for wildlife viewing and benefits from dramatically lower visitor numbers (except for the busy Dec-Jan holiday fortnight of course).

Getting around

You’re most likely to arrive into the Maasai Mara area via the regular light aircraft services that operate from Nairobi, which means that you will travel around the area with a guide and vehicle from the camp in which you are staying.

It is also possible to travel down to the Maasai Mara by road, which is quite a long and tiresome journey, but not without interest. The trouble is that the better lodges in the Mara will offer you no discount for having your own guide and vehicle along, so you end up paying for both, which works out more expensive than flying down.
