Hotelier and guest lodge owner extraordinaire Nicky Fitzgerald poses the question, 'How can you possibly feed guests who, when they are not on safari, are eating in the best restaurants on the planet?' As she goes on to say, 'It is a daunting challenge to prepare food in the middle of nowhere for guests who come from all four corners of the world, from different culinary cultures and who quite rightly expect the best of the best when it comes to choosing where to stay for their next holiday.'

Angama Mara not only rose to the challenge, it has exceeded it. This quirky anthology of recipes, reminiscences, anecdotes and stories was compiled and written in honour of the chefs at Angama Mara, and its guests who made the dream possible. The food and the breathtaking scenics were photographed by Sam Linsell, herself a well-known food stylist, food and travel photographer, and cookbook author.
