One still morning in Kimana Sanctuary, the air was soft and the sun lingered briefly before the heat set in. We watched a matriarch lead her herd across the open grasslands toward the river. Her pace was steady, unhurried, yet full of purpose, each step proving the responsibility she carries. Trailing behind her, the herd...

Ubuntu Life Café in Maai Mahiu serves great coffee and grows people. As team lead, I run the floor with a crew that cares as much about guests as they do about a perfect pour. Impressed by the transformational work of the Ubuntu Life workshop and café, Nicky Fitzgerald suggested a two-week internship at Angama...

Rainfall remains the heartbeat of their journey, dictating its timing, route, and success. The intricate balance between rain, fresh grass, and water sources shapes...

I am Daniel Njiriri, and I’ve been part of the Angama family since 2015. I started as a Guide in the Mara, and after a wonderful time there, I moved to Nairobi in 2023 to become Angama’s city-based Guide. It’s a role I truly love — being the first person to welcome guests to Kenya... The post Where Nairobi Gets Personal appeared first on Angama.| Angama
Driven by nature’s instinct to hunt, the Siligi boys have been gliding through the Mara Triangle with the confidence of seasoned masters. This coalition of three cheetahs is adept at securing meals and survival skills, evading rival predators while cleverly tailing the Migration for the best hunting opportunities. We spotted them feasting near an area... The post This Week at Angama #393 appeared first on Angama.| Angama
