Sunset on the guest terrace at Angama Mara, Kenya

Angama Mara, Masai Mara, Kenya, Africa

Angama Mara, Kenya

This truly stunning owner-run safari lodge is dramatically set on the edge of the Oloololo escarpment which forms part of Kenya's Great Rift Valley. It overlooks the world famous Maasai Mara and offers spectacular far-reaching views across the surrounding savannah from its elevated setting. Be prepared to be completely over-awed on first arrival - the view is utterly breathtaking! The lodge comprises two identical, intimate camps, spread across two of three kopjes (small hills) - the third kopje was the film location for key scenes in the classic Sydney Pollack movie ‘Out of Africa’ – fans can re-live the romance of this iconic safari film with a picnic in this very spot!

Highlights

Sleep

The name ‘Angama Mara’ was inspired by the Swahili word for ‘suspended in mid-air’ – each of the spectacular suites hangs suspended off the edge of the escarpment, with vast floor-to-ceiling glass walls which take full advantage of the breathtaking 180 degree views. As a guest, you can enjoy the wonders of safari from your indulgent suite – sit back and relax with an ice cold G&T on your expansive deck and watch the wildlife come to you. You will often see eland, zebra, giraffe and impala meandering past. Every detail in the suites has been exquisitely considered – from the oversized bed, the luxurious stand-alone bath, the rocking chairs on your deck, the crystal gin and whisky carafes to the old school coffee table books, the delicious macadamia nuts and Kenyan tea and coffee! The bold, striking design reflects the traditional Maasai colours of red and blue.

Romantics and adventurers alike should opt for a starlit night at Angama Safari Camp - Angama's intimate, light footprint, movable camp, set deep in the Mara surrounded by astounding year round wildlife. With just four safari tents and a dedicated team, this is a place to disconnect from the world and reconnect with nature. After a game drive, sit around the camp fire, listen to the birds, relax and read a book in one of Angama's signature red rocking chairs, breathe the fresh air, watch the sunset and share stories. There is nothing more magical than the simple sophisticated style of Angama's truly authentic Safari Camp. In February and March, take advantage of the unique opportunity to swap a night at Angama Mara for a night under canvas and capture the romance and nostalgia of the golden age of safaris. For the rest of the year, Angama Safari Camp is available on an exclusive use basis - perfect for a family or group of friends.
