About This Tour

Perched high on the edge of the Oloololo Escarpment, Angama Mara offers a vantage point like no other, suspended over the floor of Africa’s Great Rift Valley. This signature three-day fly-in safari is meticulously designed for travelers who seek a seamless and deeply immersive escape into the heart of the world-renowned Masai Mara.

Your journey begins at Nairobi’s Wilson Airport, where a short, scenic flight whisks you directly to the lodge’s private airfield. From here, you are perfectly positioned to explore the Mara Triangle—an area celebrated for its high wildlife density and stunning, diverse landscapes. Led by expert guides, you will traverse the plains in search of the Big Five and witness the raw beauty of the savanna’s predator-prey dynamics.

This safari strikes a perfect balance between high-octane wildlife viewing and serene luxury. Whether you are enjoying a classic “Out of Africa” sundowner or tracking big cats on a morning game drive, every element is curated to provide a profound and lasting connection to the Kenyan wilderness.
