Angama Amboseli

Location: Angama Amboseli is set in the heart of the private Kimana Sanctuary, right on the eastern edge of Amboseli National Park and with jaw-dropping views of Mount Kilimanjaro on clear days. This location is something special - it offers the best of both worlds: easy access to Amboseli’s famous elephant herds and dramatic landscapes, but without the crowds. The sanctuary itself is a success story for conservation and community partnership, and the camp’s position within it means you’re often surrounded by wildlife before you’ve even left the deck. It’s remote, peaceful, and undeniably photogenic - a place where the silence is only broken by birdsong or the occasional rumble of elephants passing through.

Rooms: There are just 10 suites at Angama Amboseli, each designed with the brand’s signature elegance and a strong sense of place. The interiors feel light, modern, and deeply comfortable - picture clean lines, natural textures, and large sliding doors that open onto private decks with those unbeatable Kilimanjaro views. Every suite has a king-size bed, spacious bathroom, and thoughtful details like binoculars, books, and cosy blankets for early morning game drives. It’s luxurious but never showy - everything is geared towards connecting you to the landscape, whether you’re soaking in the view from your bed or enjoying a quiet sundowner on your deck.

Amenities: Angama does the small things extremely well. The camp is full-service but never fussy - everything you need is there, but always on your terms. There’s a beautifully designed central guest area with an open-plan lounge, dining space, and bar, as well as a curated gallery shop and an outdoor fire pit for storytelling under the stars. Meals are generous, fresh, and made with locally sourced ingredients, and the team is warm, switched-on, and quietly exceptional at what they do. You’ll also find a small photography studio - a nod to Amboseli’s status as one of Africa’s most photogenic landscapes - and every stay includes a professional photographic edit session if you’d like it.

Activities: Game drives here focus both on the Kimana Sanctuary and Amboseli National Park, which means excellent chances to see big-tusked elephants, predators, and classic East African wildlife with very few other vehicles around. The guides are outstanding - sharp-eyed, deeply knowledgeable, and passionate about conservation. Between drives, you can visit the local community projects Angama supports, join a walking safari through the sanctuary, or simply take your time soaking up the stillness and scenery from camp. It’s also a brilliant place for photographers, one of the best in Kenya - thanks to the combination of light, landscape, and wildlife.

Sustainability: Angama Amboseli is rooted in a conservation-led approach. The camp was developed in close collaboration with the local community and the Big Life Foundation, which jointly manages Kimana Sanctuary. Tourism here directly supports landowners, helps protect critical elephant corridors, and funds community initiatives. The camp itself is built with a light footprint - solar-powered, plastic-free, and designed to blend gently into the environment. Angama’s commitment to sustainability isn’t a marketing angle, it’s a working ethos - from fair employment to meaningful conservation impact, this is a place that truly walks the talk.
