With endless views of the Maasai Mara Reserve, Angama Mara serves as the most beautiful backdrop to your destination wedding, be it a classical ceremony, or a traditional Maasai blessing.
The team at the safari lodge loves nothing more than planning memorable weddings – always beautifully simple with hints of Maasai culture, overflowing with Kenya’s world-famous roses and views over Africa so wide that your guests will be overwhelmed by the splendour of it all.
We look forward to creating memories that will last a lifetime.
There are endless ways to spend your time at Angama Mara - from beautiful days exploring the Mara landscape and discovering the great animals that call it home, to quiet moments of gentle relaxation.
Spend the morning at the lodge, perhaps enjoying a massage or sitting back on your red rocking chair and taking in the view. After a delicious lunch, head out on another afternoon safari.
Arrive in the world-famous Maasai Mara and settle into your spacious tented suite perched right at the edge of the escarpment. After a celebratory glass of sparkling wine, set off on safari to get your first taste of the wonderful adventure that awaits.
Start your wedding day by floating high above the Mara in a hot-air balloon followed by a champagne breakfast and a quick pre-wedding siesta. Then it’s time to get ready for the ceremony and celebration.
Watch a final Mara sunrise from the foot of your bed, before setting off on your last morning safari. Return to the lodge for breakfast, check out and a final farewell before departing to start your new adventure as a married couple.
After a lazy late-morning lie-in, join your friends and family over some more wonderful food and wine, reliving the wonderful day of wedding celebrations. In the evening, dine under the stars at Angama Mara’s Forest BBQ.
East African Honeymoons
After a beautiful wedding at Angama Mara, what better way to ease into married life than barefoot luxury on one of the Indian Ocean’s many beach destinations and private islands
Weddings at Angama Mara will not be an official marriage. You are advised to be married in your home country before or after coming to Kenya.
Angama Mara offers weddings for 30 guests, or 60 guests (the bridal couples has to take either one or both camps – both of which are identical). Alternatively, if you would prefer a private affair with just yourselves and a few guests, that too is possible.
Angama Mara works with professional photographers and videographers based in Nairobi. Please contact us to discuss the options available.
Should you like to work with a wedding planner, we ask that the Angama Mara team sets up a call with them prior to the wedding to explain the advantages and limitations to a destination wedding in the middle of the Maasai Mara.
The pastry team have perfected a beautiful signature wedding cake – a Persian Love Cake. The rose-scented cake is the softest chiffon with pops of cardamom and saffron cream – the rose and the spices having a very strong connection to Kenya which is one of the world’s biggest rose exporters, as well as influences from the coastal Swahili culture and flavours. Set on a marble cake stand and adorned with fresh roses, the Angama wedding cake is displayed in the guest area awaiting the couple’s arrival.
Flowers can be sourced on request, as well as rose petals. Certain flowers hold up to the African sun better than others , and the Angama team can guide you on the best options.
Angama’s Chapel is a beautiful wet weather option that can be kept as a standby alternative should it rain on the day.
Please note that while all weddings require at least one of Angama Mara’s camps to be booked exclusively, sound does travel across the Great Rift Valley and as such, music at wedding receptions is limited to a small speaker and until a reasonable hour. Should a wedding of both camps (60 guests) be booked, the music may be played at your discretion.
Whether you prefer the beach, or some more time in the bush, our Angama Safaris team of knowledgeable East Africa specialists are standing by to help you plan the perfect honeymoon.
