Are you a skilled photographer and would like to submit your work for a competition? Well, you might be the next Angama Foundation winner and walk away with $10,000.
The photography competition, launched in a bid to promote Maasai Mara National Reserve as a year-round destination, Angama Foundation is “The Greatest Maasai Mara” that will see the winning photographer Sh1million and a 5-night stay at the Angama Mara Lodge.
Angama Mara is an owner-run safari lodge inspired by the Swahili word for ‘suspended in mid-air’. Located high above the floor of Africa’s Great Rift Valley, Angama Mara overlooks Kenya’s Maasai Mara, considered by many as the loveliest game reserve on the continent.
Each guest at the lodge contributes a US$ 10 per night donation to the Angama Foundation, a separate entity which has been set up in order to affect these efforts. The Foundation plans to achieve this primarily through three fields of work: Education, Healthcare and Conservation, and projects are identified and prioritized together with the lodge’s neighbouring communities, the Mara Conservancy, and NGO’s who have a track record of making an impact in the region.
According to Adam Bannister, a judge in the competition, the competition also seeks to uplift the standards of tour guiding at the national reserve globally famed for the spectacular annual wildebeest migration.
The photography competition coincides with the naming of Maasai Mara National Reserve as named Africa’s Leading National Park for the sixth time during the Africa edition of the 25th World Travel Awards recently held in Durban, South Africa.
