In a landmark announcement poised to transform Kenya’s luxury tourism landscape, the much-anticipated Angama Amboseli has declared its grand opening in November 2023. Nestled in the Kimana Sanctuary’s verdant embrace, spanning a massive 5,700 acres, this gem is not just another lodge but a symbol of community-driven conservation.

Angama Amboseli

Kenya’s premier community-owned conservancy, Kimana, forged in alliance with the influential Big Life Foundation, stands majestically against the iconic backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s crowning pinnacle. Angama Amboseli promises an unparalleled blend of authentic Kenyan warmth, top-tier hospitality, and curated experiences, bringing global travellers a step closer to the very essence of East Africa.

One of the retreat’s stellar features is its positioning amidst a fever tree forest, a rare ecosystem home to some of the last Super Tuskers. The lodge, designed to immerse guests into Africa’s rich tapestry, showcases ten sophisticated tented suites. These include two exclusive family connecting units, each a masterpiece fusing modern African aesthetics. The interiors, a harmonious blend of canvas, concrete, and rattan, are bathed in earthy palettes echoing the pristine wilderness that cradles the lodge. Every suite is a window to nature; uninterrupted vistas of Mount Kilimanjaro grace every corner, from the luxurious bedrooms to the opulent showers. Adding floor-to-ceiling screened doors opens to a private deck, a lounge area, an outdoor shower, and the signature Angama rocking chair – setting the stage for moments of serene mountain contemplation.

The lodge doesn’t stop at mere luxury. The primary Guest Area offers flexible indoor-outdoor dining experiences, an inviting baraza, and a sunset fire pit perfect for evening rendezvous. ‘The Studio’, a multifaceted hub, encompasses a safari shop, games room, art gallery, maker’s studio, and a state-of-the-art photography suite. But the pièce de résistance is undoubtedly the infinity pool – an idyllic oasis surrounded by fever trees and accentuated by a water trough for elephants, with Kilimanjaro’s snowy peak standing sentinel.

Guests at Angama Amboseli are promised exclusive adventures. With unrestricted game viewing rights, they can embark on gentle-paced safaris under expert guidance, introducing them to Africa’s majestic mammals, from lions, leopards, and rhinos to elephants, giraffes, and zebras.

Accessibility is seamless. Daily flights from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport via Safarilink to the sanctuary’s private airfield. Alternatively, private charters from the Maasai Mara or a scenic drive from Nairobi are available for approximately three and a half hours.

Starting rates at the opulent Angama Amboseli begin from $1,650 USD (~£1,330 GBP) per person per night. This all-inclusive package covers guided safaris, walking tours, on-site activities, and other amenities. For a detailed dive into what awaits, visit www.angama.com/stay/angama-amboseli.
