Angama Mara | Owners, Nicky & Kate: A Mother Daughter Team, The Filming of Meryl Streep's Out of Africa, and The Heart of Kenya
Listen now
Description
Today’s guests are Nicky Fitzgerald and Kate Fitzgerald Boyd - the mother-daughter duo who own and run Angama Mara in Kenya. Of the thousands of safari lodges across Africa, Angama Mara is always mentioned as one of the best. If you are the kind of person who loves heart-stoppingly beautiful views, this is the place for you. Not only can you lean over your balcony and be suspended over the Maasai Mara National Park - but you can do it style. Nicky and her late husband Steve are weaved into the modern history of safari in Africa through a long career at &Beyond. Over the years the Fitzgerald’s have been responsible for launching 60 lodges in Africa and India. So with Nicky’s deep history, and Kate’s fresh perspective - they’ve created something truly special and innovative. Kate, Nicky, and I discuss how they were able to get this incredible piece of land, some insider tidbits from the filming of Out of Africa, how they continue to innovate, and the differences between safari in South and East Africa.
