Angama Safari Camp
Enquire Now
Nicky Fitzgerald and her Angama team have opened a brand new seasonal exclusive use mobile camp with four lovely tents in the private south west corner of the Mara Triangle – the middle of absolutely nowhere. The Camp runs from July until end of September (October on request), with views onto the plains and the heart of the mega herds of the Great Migration. The exclusive use camp will give guests a feeling of ‘this is all mine’ especially considering how few other safari vehicles venture down to this secluded corner of the Reserve.
