Words can't describe this magical place. We stayed five nights in the Family Suite (two connected rooms) with our three sons, ages 7, 11, and 13, and it was the trip of a lifetime.

If you ever worry about if your kids are old enough for safari, Angama will put those concerns to bed. From the moment you step off the Safarilink flight to the Mara to the moment you say goodbye to your guide and new friend (we miss you, Ken!), your every need is anticipated and cared for. Some of the highlights of Angama for us:

- Daily schedule catered to whatever we wanted to do: wake up early for hot air balloon ride and safari breakfast - sure. Sleep in and breakfast on your private patio followed by a massage - yep. Sunrise to sunset game drive hunting the elusive leopard - they're on it!

- Becoming part of the Angama family: from the moment we arrived, we became part of the Angama family. They not only knew our names but drink preferences. On our 2nd night after safari and before dinner we played soccer with some of the locals, staff at Angama, and other guests. Another day we visited a Maasai village and it was a perspective changing experience. Another day they did a walking safari w/ a local Maasai warrior. Amazing!

- Helle and the planning services: Helle is with Angama and planned our entire trip. Not just Angama but Nairobi hotel, transportation to and from airport, private tour of Nairobi, beach trip to Alfajiri after safari for some relaxation time (highly recommend Alfajiri!), and all of our flights. This was a new experience for us and we felt completely at ease knowing we were in Helle's care.

- The food! Every meal was exceptional. Lots of food was locally sourced at their garden, the Shamba. Each meal had options of African food and more plain things for the kids and they can special order anything you need. The fresh fruits and meats were to die for. Oh the passion fruit juice!

- The photo studio!!! Robert is simply amazing (and patient!). We rented a 500mm lens and spent time w/ Robert every day learning techniques and editing photos. He came by after dinner several nights to help us get our picture of the Milky Way.

Can't recommend Angama highly enough for a once in a lifetime luxury family adventure.

Angama Mara is a first class, warm, and overall incredible experience of the Masai Mara. As most other reviews indicate - great friendly and warm service, beautiful views, and lots of options of activities when you're resting in between game drives. Our guide/driver was named Jackson, and he really made our experience exceptional... He is a very experienced, keen, knowledgeable guide with a sharp eye that found incredible wildlife sightings and interesting animal behaviors for us. Alot of the guests seemed to have similar experiences with their guides, and it really does make your trip. I highly recommend Angama Mara to make your Masai Mara trip a memorable, first class experience!

We stayed at Angama for 3 nights and I can honestly say it was one of the most memorable experiences ever. From the plane landing on the tiny airstrip, my husband and I were blown away by the views and vast expanse of the valley. The drive to the camp was wonderful as we saw elephant, giraffe, baboon and a variety of gazelle. The staff are truly amazing - special shout out to Moses our fantastic guide- he was so knowledgable, friendly and professional- without him we would never have had the opp to be so close to lions, leopards and rhino- amazing. Also special thanks to Kimani and Doris. The ‘tent’ as it is really the most luxe accom was really special - sweeping views over the valley, fabulous roll top bath to soak in - extremely peaceful. All meals we had were excellent and we loved that most of the veg is sourced from the kitchen garden. Sipping champagne on the out of Africa rock was truly special. Can’t thank the whole team enough for a very special trip. I really hope I can do a return trip sometime soon.
