Heaven on earth. Looooove loooove this place. The warmth of your staff, the peace and serenity of the place is unmatched. Been to other places but what I experienced at Angama is out of this world. Home away from Home. Thank you so much Angama.
Thank you @joycei2022 for this happy review, it seems you have experienced the Angama magic to it's fullest - the place, the animals, but mostly the people. Thank you for sharing your memories with us. Please come back soon
Thank you Angama for creating a truly fulfilling experience of Kenya - I stayed at both of Angama's fabulous top 5 star properties. The stark contrast in landscape and diversity of wildlife blew me away ! My convenience was top priority for Johnny, and Rita of Angama booking a direct flight to the Mara for the 4 spectacular nights after experiencing Angama's newest property at Amboseli! I was astounded everyday by the views and the animals and the kindness and care of all the people there working as a team to manifest lifetime moments!
My guide came to meet me at the airstrip - Ekidorn and he was all about being a top notch guide giving me a chance to tailor my experiences everyday to which animals I wanted to see most. Also the professional photographer Robert joined me again for amazing photos of the Jaguars, Chita, and Lions that make the Mara Triangle so amazing! I'm not a photographer but Robert managed to solve that for me with the most awesome journal in pictures of everything we saw! Not worrying about the photos also gave me the freedom to experience the sightings fully!
I did not visit during the Migration because there are plenty of animals in March especially lots of newborns - and I wanted to be there without the crowds and the heat! It was exactly as I wanted even more perfect for me than I could have imagined. I was able to witness the full cycle of life in the food chain, it was emotional and shocking - 3 Chita brothers in a coalition took about 3 hours to decide on a target, stalk and strategically bring down an impala, after they ate the best parts, the vultures, hyenas, and jackals took over - one hyena took off with the prized impala horns - like a trophy! Sights like this you never forget, and thanks to Ekidorn's patience and skills in spotting everything and my prized possession my Nikon binoculars it was clear as in a widescreen movie!
The tent-rooms are top of the sky high glamping, and staying there was like in a dream with the proverbial Out of Africa bathtub over looking the escarpment from the all glass windows that open to a lovely veranda to sit outside - after your bath sitting there donning the luxury cotton Masai cloth sarong or bath robes provided is epic! Of course with a Masala tea - for me with almond milk and Masai honey!
As a vegan I was treated with respect and care and the on site organic gardens provided me with a cornucopia of fresh greens and veggies to my delight! The chef whipped up magic for me even for my game breakfasts and picnics - as I'm mostly in the bush with Ekidorn from the crack of dawn - as he's as much an animal fanatic as I am!
I rediscovered the joy I had as a child here in Africa, and I came back to being me again! Thank you Angama ! I will be back!
Thank you @CJBolivar for this wonderful review - as well as for the one for Angama Amboseli - thank you for sharing all of this information and allowing us all to relive the happy time you experienced on holiday in the Mara with us. It sounds like you saw it all, and more! And we cannot wait to welcome you back home to Angama one day soon.
From the moment you get picked up from the airstrip the hospitality is out of this world.
The Angama team make you feel special and at home.
The view from the escarpment and your room is breathtaking!
The service is second to none, you are served by a dedicated staff member throughout your trip, the team ensure you have a diverse experience over your stay eg bush barbecue one night, a cocktail sundowner the next night etc.
The food is amazing and catered for your needs, amazing portions, fresh and beautifully balanced flavours.
Thank you @Jay314 for the great review - the team is beyond pleased that you recognised and more importantly loved their signature blend of Kenyan hospitality. We also love that you appreciated our food philosophy: simple, good food made with love, but served in the most memorable places. Please come back and visit us soon.
I have stayed at resorts all over the world, and Angama Mara tops the list. My family stayed for 4 nights, and that was the ideal length of time to experience all that Angama Mara had to offer. Adlight took care of every detail, ensuring our family had special experiences each day. Joseph, our safari guide, helped us see the Big 5 and incredible wildlife. Lodging comfortable, meals exquisite, and the setting serene. We can't wait to return.
Thank you @clct75 for taking the time to share your memories of your 4 nights at Angama Mara. We are so pleased the team looked after you beautifully, and you got to see the Big Five! Please return to Kenya and Angama Mara one day soon.
Showstopping views. Gorgeous interior design and architecture. Huge rooms with claw foot tubs. Lots of personal attention from Jonny (angama agent) Francis (dining butler) and Roy (room butler). Ekai and Jakob our guides were very determined to get us our wish list of animal experiences. Great companions. Lots of laughs. Super memorable drives. We loved to Maasai evening at the Boma where they recognized our birthdays and 20th. The shamba lunch in the garden. Cool boutique where we did custom beading. Loved it all.
Thank you @AWS613 for this wonderful review - the energy of your experience jumps off the page, and the team are so proud to have delivered a trip of a lifetime for you. Please come back again - your team is waiting.
