The views at Angama Mara stretch for miles. Perched upon the Oloololo Escarpment 1,000ft above the plains of the Mara below, the name of the lodge was inspired by the Swahili word for ‘suspended in mid-air’ and no matter where in the lodge you are, you are guaranteed the best seat in the house.
On Top of the World
Set on the edge of the Oloololo Escarpment, there is little that is conventional about the creation of Angama Mara, with views that stretch as far as the eye can see across the Maasai Mara set 1,000ft below. The 700-hectare site directly borders the Mara Triangle, with 1.2km of Rift Valley frontage, its own forests and game a-plenty.
The rare beauty of the site has an emotional effect on visitors — an almost dreamlike quality of being somewhere ‘between heaven and earth’
Guests instantly connect with the romance of the setting, where some of the loveliest scenes from the movie ‘Out of Africa’ were filmed
No Tented Suite has the best view, nor the worst — all are spread along the edge of the Rift Valley
Unrivalled exclusivity with a private road directly into the Reserve — a mere 10-minute drive to the entrance
Enjoy your day the way you’d like to — whether it’s embarking on a morning hot-air balloon safari, photographing Africa’s rich wildlife during a game drive, strolling along the Great Rift Valley’s edge, or savouring local cuisine, these are a myriad of choices available to you.
We’re often asked, ‘How many days should one stay’? The truth is, there is never enough time, but the perfect stay might look something like this:
Both Angama Mara and Angama Safari Camp are just a short 45-minute flight from Kenya’s capital of Nairobi. Guests can travel on the multiple daily scheduled flights from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport, or opt for a private and convenient charter straight from Nairobi’s main airport, Jomo Kenyatta International.
Various international airlines, as well as the national carrier, Kenya Airways, offer direct flights to Jomo Kenyatta International from hubs all over the world.
