Angama Mara

What defines Angama Mara from other safari lodges is its location, suspended off the Great Rift Valley, a site almost without equal. It’s one of our Top 5 African Safari Lodges for the view! Each tented suite enjoys a 180° view of the Masai Mara below, possibly the best-known game reserve in the world, which consistently delivers extraordinary viewing of all of Africa’s great mammals, and is home to the Great Migration from July to October of each year.

Angama Mara guests descend a private track directly from the lodge to the beautiful, remote Mara Triangle. The Out of Africa back-story adds romance and nostalgia – when guests arrive at the lodge, they feel like they have been here before.

Architect duo Silvio Rech and Lesley Carstens, and Jan Allan, Kenya’s King of canvas, designed Angama Mara’s elegant and classical tented suites with an 11-metre wide floor-to-ceiling glass front. Each tent has the same breathtaking view – no one is better than the last – and every day, the sunrise provides guests with early morning theatre as the hot air balloons float gently by.

Highly polished parquet floors, distinctive splashes of Maasai red, a handsome drinks cabinet (with personal bar and safe tactfully tucked away), vanity with double basins, separate w/c, writing desk with ample charging points and tablet with guest information, WiFi, Africology guest amenities, a collection of East African books, a beautiful John Vogel woven screen, and a butler’s lobby allowing for the discreet delivery of early morning tea and coffee, all add to the comfort and delight of guests in their suites.

Angama Mara offers hot air ballooning, guided walking safaris for a feel of Africa under foot, morning and night safaris in open vehicles, picnics on the crest of the Out Of Africa kopje, Maasai cultural visits at the camp as well as the local village or take a day to just relax with a massage from the camps professional masseuse.
