Why not start your day with a sunrise hot-air balloon ride floating high above the Mara? Afterwards, toast the day with a champagne breakfast. Spend the afternoon exploring the Maasai Mara on safari.

As the sun sets, make your way to the Sundowner Boma to enjoy the sights and sounds of a Maasai warrior performance of traditional singing, dancing and jumping — or join in! The Angama team will be delighted to find wonderful ways to create special birthday moments throughout your day.

Whether you want to renew your vows or celebrate a significant wedding anniversary, you can do this with an authentic, low-key sunset celebration, either in our Sundowner Boma, the Out of Africa kopje or at the Shamba.

The couple will be presented with traditional Maasai attire. Singing and dancing maidens and warriors accompany them as they arrive. After a performance, the ceremony ends with a special blessing by the Maasai.

What could be more romantic than a proposal right on the site of the movie about one of the greatest love stories, filmed on location at Angama Mara — Out of Africa?

The little hill featured on the movie’s poster is where the lodge team sets up a private champagne picnic, on its crest, with sweeping views of the Mara below. We have yet to have a refusal!

During their Bar or Bat Mitzvah year, young Jewish men and women can celebrate their coming of age in the heart of Maasailand. Join a Maasai Naturalist for a walk as they share stories and lessons of their culture.

Boys learn how to throw a traditional Maasai spear and spend time with a Maasai warrior. Girls are escorted by a female Maasai team member to the manyatta (traditional homestead) near the Shamba — to be adorned with beaded gifts by the Maasai women. The day ends with a ceremony and a blessing.
