12 days of travel-mas (12 of 12) • Better late than never! Our final featured destination over this festive period is the remarkable Angama Mara. Perched high up on the Oloololo Escarpment, the highlight of this well designed luxury lodge is the breathtaking view out across the Mara Triangle. • Over this festive period we'll be featuring some of our favourite destinations across Kenya. These are lodges, guesthouses, tented camps, cottages or campsites that were particularly memorable and that we can't wait to go back to. If you've been to any of these places too, we'd love to hear about your experiences. • @angamasafari • #angamaguests #angama #angamamara #maratriangle #mara #goingplacesafrica #kenya #passionpassport #whyilovekenya #explore #magicalkenya #wildlife #luxurylodge #adventure #wanderlust #africa #wild #travelpics #travel #canon #canonphotography #natgeo #africageophoto #wilderness #nature #naturephotography #lifestyle #tembeakenya

12 days of travel-mas (11 of 12) • Our 11th and second last featured Xmas destination is the enchanting Fatuma's Tower, in Lamu. Restored and converted into a guesthouse by Gillies and Fiammetta Turle in the late 90s, the tower building is over 300 years old, and is named after its previous owner Fatuma Abu Bakar - a mysterious Swahili noblewoman who lived in the tower with her five female slaves in the 19th century. With the abolition of slavery the house fell into disrepair and was abandoned. But Gillies and Fiammetta were careful to retain the original features, and have done well to revive the atmosphere of Fatuma's fine Swahili House. • Over this festive period we'll be featuring some of our favourite destinations across Kenya (in no particular order).

12 days of travel-mas (10 of 12) • Our tenth featured destination is the castaway-style Delta Dunes Lodge, high amongst sand dunes and doum palms in the heart of the Tana River Delta. It's seven thatched cottages offer spectacular views of the river on one side, the Indian Ocean on the other, or both. Whether you look out towards the beach, or inland across the mangrove forests of the delta, there's very little sign of human habitation, save a few fishermen drifting in their canoes. • Over this festive period we'll be featuring some of our favourite destinations across Kenya (in no particular order).

12 days of travel-mas (9 of 12) • Our ninth featured destination is Kimana House, in the 5,700-acre Kimana Sanctuary. The sanctuary is a vital parcel of land that links up the greater Amboseli ecosystem with the Chyulu Hills and Tsavo West. It's lush fever tree forests are fed by a stream replenished by rain and meltwater from Mount Kilimanjaro. It's a popular spot for elephants, including some of the biggest left on the planet. • Over this festive period we'll be featuring some of our favourite destinations across Kenya.

12 days of travel-mas (8 of 12) • Continuing our Xmas list of top destinations in Kenya, at number 8 is the Eluai Campsite in the Mara Triangle. One of three public campsites in the Triangle, Eluai sits high up on a ridge with sweeping views of the plains below. If you're on a budget or just enjoy camping, this is a great way to experience the Mara. The feeling of isolation in a reserve so full of wildlife and incredible landscapes is amazing.

12 days of travel-mas (7 of 12) • Our seventh featured destination is the fantastic Robin Hurt's campsite in the Shaba National Reserve. The camp is on a broad bend of the Ewaso Nyiro River, in between two gentle sets of rapids and opposite a small rocky outcrop. The main camping ground is shaded by doum palms, and the low canopies of dropping acacia tortilis trees. The spiral seeds from these acacias coat the riverbank, giving off their very distinctive sickly-sweet scent. Shaba is much less popular than its neighbour, Samburu, but the stunning landscape alone makes it worth a visit. • Over this festive period we'll be featuring some of our favourite destinations across Kenya.
