Guest Feedback on Angama Amboseli

John and Lisa Herrington

“From the moment we arrived, Angama Amboseli exceeded all our expectations. The view of Mount Kilimanjaro from our tented suite was simply breathtaking. The staff treated us like royalty and our safari guide was incredibly knowledgeable. We had close encounters with elephants and even spotted a rare Super Tusker! Dining under the stars was magical. This place isn’t just a hotel, it’s an experience, and we can’t wait to return!”

Samantha Greene

“As a photographer, I seek destinations that not only offer comfort but outstanding natural beauty and wildlife. Angama Amboseli promised this and delivered tenfold. The private photographic safari was a dream come true. Being able to capture the wildlife up-close was phenomenal. The food was a delightful mix of local and international cuisine, fresh and delicious. Every single detail at the lodge ensures that you have a memorable stay, making this place worth every penny. Highly recommended for those who cherish nature and luxury.”
