Angama Mara

Wake Up to Mesmerizing Sunrises Without Leaving Your Bed

Nestled in one of the most remarkable locations within the Mara ecosystem, Angama Mara stands as a premier luxury safari lodge. Positioned near the Mara Triangle, this exclusive section of the National Reserve is managed by a non-profit conservancy founded by the Maasai people. Their collaborative efforts have successfully curbed poaching, enhanced infrastructure, and developed community-led conservation programs. Angama is a Swahili word which translates to “suspended in mid-air” and true to its name, Angama Mara offers an unparalleled safari experience. Rooted in sustainable tourism, the camp operates with a light footprint, and through the Angama Foundation, it plays an integral role in supporting local conservation and community projects.

Perched atop a dramatic escarpment, the lodge offers sweeping, uninterrupted views of the vast Mara plains and the Great Rift Valley. Though larger than many traditional safari camps, Angama Mara maintains a sense of exclusivity by dividing its 30 tented suites into two separate camps: south camp and north camp. Each section comes with its own communal spaces, ensuring an intimate and personalized experience. One of the lodge’s standout features is its uniquely flexible safari schedule, allowing guests to design their game drives without the typical constraints of early morning or late afternoon outings.

Both camps feature a stylishly designed central pavilion that caters to guests’ comfort and leisure. A stunning infinity pool offers the perfect place to relax, while the fitness center, enclosed by a glass façade, provides a workout space with breathtaking scenery. Guests can also explore the Maasai design studio, browse the on-site boutique, immerse themselves in the well-stocked library, or simply unwind on the deck overlooking the endless savannah. A personal ‘butler’ is assigned to each group, ensuring impeccable service throughout the stay. Additional indulgences, such as in-tent massages, nail treatments, and laundry services, are available for added convenience.

The tented suites at Angama Mara are nothing short of spectacular, designed to resemble open-concept apartments with an elegant, modern aesthetic. Floor-to-ceiling glass panels frame a stunning 180-degree panorama of the surrounding wilderness, allowing guests to take in the breathtaking scenery from every corner of their suite. Situated along the Oloololo Escarpment, each suite guarantees privacy while maximizing the spectacular views. Inside, the interiors feature polished hardwood floors, plush king-size beds, and carefully curated décor that enhances the luxurious ambiance. Guests can savor a sunrise from their bed before even getting up, or enjoy the scenery from the sitting area, freestanding bathtub, shower, or private verandah. For cooler nights, electric blankets are provided, and a well-stocked personal bar ensures a refreshing drink is always within reach. Families traveling together can opt for one of the four spacious family rooms, offering both comfort and ample space for an unforgettable safari retreat.
