About This Lodge

Angama Mara is an owner-run lodge positioned high on the edge of the Oloololo Escarpment. Its Swahili name translates to “suspended in mid-air,” a reference to its spectacular perch one thousand feet above the plains of the Mara Triangle. The lodge comprises two separate, intimate camps, North and South, which ensure a quiet atmosphere and a high degree of personal service.

Known for its elegant, contemporary design and iconic views, Angama offers a refined interpretation of the luxury safari experience. It is notably built near the site where scenes from the film Out of Africa were shot, adding a layer of romantic history to its character.

Location & Setting

The property sits on the sheer drop of the Great Rift Valley, bordering the Mara Triangle in the Mara. The geography is defined by the escarpment itself, providing unmatched panoramic views from every part of the lodge. 

Access is streamlined, with guests flying from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport directly to the private Angama Airfield, a short five-minute transfer from the lodge. This privileged location also features a private road, providing immediate and exclusive access to the high-density wildlife area of the Mara Triangle below.

Accommodation

The thirty Tented Suites are split evenly between the two camps and are notably spacious, spanning over 100 square meters. They are better described as glass-fronted suites than traditional tents, featuring floor-to-ceiling glass walls that are 11 meters wide. 

This design ensures guests have a 180-degree view of the plains from their bed, sitting area, or private deck. Interiors showcase polished parquet floors, African-inspired handcrafted furniture, and striking Maasai red accents. Each suite features a freestanding bathtub with a view and a discreet butler’s lobby for service.

Facilities & Experiences

The main areas are designed to enhance the sense of place and connection to the landscape. The Map Room serves as an essential space for orientation and sharing sightings after a drive. 

Guests can refine their imagery at the dedicated Photographic Studio, which offers tutorials, editing stations, and printing services. A twelve-meter rim-flow pool appears to merge into the horizon above the Mara. Furthermore, the Fitness Room, featuring Technogym equipment, has stacking glass doors, offering one of the most scenic workout spots in Africa.
