HELLO EAST AFRICA
Hello Nairobi
The capital and largest city in Kenya, Nairobi was founded as a depot on
the Ugandan railway and named from the Maasai phrase for “cool water”.
Now a bustling East African metropolis of more than 3 million citizens, it
is the established gateway to the region, offering a diverse mix of
experiences and services.
Angama Safaris services begin with a private meet & assist service off
your international flight arriving at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport,
Nairobi.
Enjoy a chauffeured road transfer to Giraffe Manor.
ENJOY 1 NIGHT AT GIRAFFE MANOR
One of Nairobi's most recognized hotels, Giraffe Manor is set within the
leafy suburb of Karen, west of the bustling city centre, and characterized
by the resident herd of endangered Rothschild giraffe who live on the
property ...
Goodbye Nairobi

Hello Samburu
Sasaab is situated close to the Samburu National Reserve and Buffalo
Springs in Kenya’s Northern Frontier District. While arid, this region is
home to a rich array of natural diversity, with all the Big Five found here
along with the ‘Samburu Special Five’ – the beisa oryx, reticulated giraffe,
Grevy’s zebra, gerenuk antelope and Somali ostrich.
.
Enjoy a chauffeured road transfer from Giraffe Manor to Wilson Airport,
in time to connect to a local flight to Sasaab private airfield, Samburu.
A Sasaab guide will greet you on arrival and drive you to the lodge (10
mins).
ENJOY 3 NIGHTS AT SASAAB
A perfect blend of Moroccan and Swahili style, Sasaab has been built into
the hillside overlooking the Ewaso Nyiro River and the herds of elephant
that gather here to bathe and drink. The airy design of the nine rooms
with open archways, private plunge pools and large verandas, keeps
guests cool and comfortable and makes the most of the beautiful views
over the Laikipia Plateau towards Mount Kenya.

A DAY AT
Sasaab
Offering a wonderful mix of tranquillity and adventure, Sasaab makes the
most of its special location in the 35,000-hectare Westgate Community
Conservancy, west of Samburu National Reserve.
Guests can opt to enjoy the panoramic views from their veranda or
private plunge pool, or spend some time at SpaSaab indulging in a spa
treatment or two, featuring therapeutic indigenous ingredients.
There are many activities to fill your days, including game drives led by
Samburu guides, exploring the terrain of the Northern Frontier on a
camel ride, or guided walks alongside the river. Another option is to
spend a night under the stars on a special fly camping experience.
One of the highlights of a stay at Sasaab is spending time learning about
the culture and traditions of the Samburu by interacting with the lodge
staff, visiting a local village or perhaps a market. This can be even more
rewarding for those travelling with children, who will learn some
traditional skills, such as how to make a bow and arrow and a bush
toothbrush.
Always flexible to the needs of their guests, Sasaab is a distinctive and
remote retreat for those seeking wide-open spaces, a calm environment
and a touch of adventure.
Goodbye Samburu

Hello the Maasai Mara
World renowned for its exceptional populations of lion, leopard, cheetah
and herds-a-thousand-strong of buffalo, the Maasai Mara is also home to
the rare black rhino, Thomson’s gazelle, topi, wildebeest and of course a
thriving elephant population
Enjoy a local flight from Sasaab to Angama Mara’s private airfield, Maasai
Mara.
Met by an Angama Mara guide upon arrival, take a leisurely ten minute
stroll or a short drive to the lodge.
ENJOY 4 NIGHTS AT ANGAMA MARA
Perched high above the floor of Africa’s Great Rift Valley and inspired by
the Swahili word for ‘suspended in mid-air’, Angama Mara overlooks the
Maasai Mara. With two intimate camps of just 15 tented suites each, here
you will find a place where everything is just as it ought to be –with
tailor-made safari days and a famously warm Kenyan welcome.3
A DAY AT
Angama Mara
Guests staying at Angama Mara are faced with many choices of how they
wish to spend their day. Sunrise hot-air balloon safaris, photographing
Africa’s abundant wildlife, walking on the edge of the Great Rift Valley, or
visiting a Maasai family in their home –these are just a few of the
adventures on offer.
Wake up before the dawn and fly over the Mara in a hot air balloon, game
viewing as you float gently past, or sleep in late and watch the sunrise
with a steaming coffee, orange juice and a freshly-baked something
delicious.
Spend the days out on safari: the Maasai Mara never fails to deliver
extraordinary wildlife sightings – head out at sunrise with a picnic
breakfast and be back for lunch; head out after breakfast with a picnic
lunch; or a favourite, pack two picnics and spend the whole day exploring
the Mara and its bountiful wildlife – this is one of the loveliest game
drives of all
Or relax at the lodge: with a book by the pool, on a red rocking chair
safari on your tent deck or a gentle walk up the kopje where many of the
lovely scenes from the movie Out of Africa were filmed –complete with a
romantic picnic on the rocks, just for you.
As the sun dips behind the escarpment, toast the end of the day with
Maasai warriors at the Boma and dine on classic safari food – with not a
buffet in sight.
