Angama Mara Safari
Angama Mara Safari : Welcome to Angama, inspired by the Swahili word for ‘suspended in mid-air’. Angama Mara is a spectacular safari lodge with a breathtaking view of Kenya’s Maasai Mara, which many people believe to be the most beautiful game reserve on the continent, and is perched high above the Great Rift Valley in Africa.
In this lodge, visitors will discover a place where everything is just as it should be: two small camps with only fifteen tented suites each, a private airfield and access to the Mara below, custom safari days, and a notably friendly Kenyan welcome. Angama Safari Camp, an exclusive-use mobile tented camp located deep within the Mara Triangle and amid the huge herds during the Great Migration, is the ideal complement to the lodge.
Angama Safari Camp.
Angama Safari Camp is located deep within the Maasai Mara’s uninhabited wilderness. The design of this single-use, low-footprint tented camp, which makes for easy living while mirroring the most cherished features of her older sister with the best of everything but always just the perfect amount of everything, is new and uncluttered.
Tented Suites.
Each of the 100 square metres Angama Mara Tented Suites is perched directly on the edge of the escarpment and features floor to ceiling windows along the front to maximize the stunning views. The interiors use Maasai Red, French Khaki, copper, and brass accents and are minimalistic, classic, and most all, comfy.
Suspended In Mid-Air.
Angama Mara’s property, which literally juts out into Africa’s Great Rift Valley, gives off the surreal impression of being suspended between heaven and earth. It is not surprising that this place was chosen for the most memorable moments in Sydney Pollack’s beloved movie Out of Africa when searching for stunning places that evoked the Kenya of Blixen and Finch-Hatton.

Explore the Maasai Mara National Reserve.
The Mara is a reserve of tremendous diversity, giving it the ideal habitat for animals of every form and size. Its features range from the towering wall of the Oloololo Escarpment to the forceful Mara River and the limitless open savannah. All of this is just outside your tent at Angama Safari Camp or a simple 10-minute drive on a private road from Angama Mara.
Spotting the wildlife.
Going on safari in one of Africa’s most recognizable reserves is once-in-a-lifetime experience. This reserve is home to all of Kenya’s major mammals year-round and more than 450 different bird species. Not to mention the yearly spectacle of two million wildebeest, zebra, and Thomson’s gazelles enduring the perilous Mara River crossings as they migrate into the Mara Triangle.

Days can be as hectic or as leisurely as you like. Only a 15-minute drive from Angama Mara, the Mara Triangle is home to some of Africa’s largest species. Visitors can enjoy hot air ballooning, walking safaris, cultural excursions to nearby Maasai towns, or just unwind and do nothing at all.
