Angama Mara

Perched high above the astoundingly game-rich plain of Maasai Mara, Angama Mara offers an unending procession of views and carefully curated safari delights. Angama Mara’s tented luxury suites embody the Maasai Mara’s natural elegance and quietly stirring beauty.

A stay here will be very comfortable and with links to 'Out of Africa' it particularly suits honeymooners and those with a strong romantic streak.

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.

Angama Mara Tents

Angama Mara is divided into two identical but completely separate camps, each with 15 en-suite Tented Suites. The Suites span over 100sqm, including the deck and feature 11m wide floor-to-ceiling glass frontage — offering views from everywhere. There are also two sets of two interconnected Tented Suites in each camp.

The two separate camps share a swanky central pavilion. The pavilion features an infinity pool where guests can enjoy a refreshing water dip and a gym with a folding glass front for those who want to catch a few workouts during their stay. The pavilion also houses a Maasai design studio, a shop, a library and a deck perfect for taking in the captivating view. Each party of guests is assigned a personal 'butler' to help make their stay extra special. However, all of the lodge's staff are extremely welcoming and make it a point to see to it that all guests’ needs are met. This includes optional in-tent massages and nail treatments (surcharge applies).

Angama Mara's tents are simply stunning and resemble open-plan apartments. They feature an entire glass façade allowing an uninhibited view of the Mara plains. The tents are spread out upon the Oloololo escarpment to ensure each guest's privacy and a 180-degree view of the surroundings. Inside the tents, you will find polished hardwood floors, king-size beds and lovely décor. The lodge is known for its attention to detail. Each tent has electric blankets available for those nights when it gets chilly and a fully stocked personal bar with drinks of your choosing. For privacy, you can lower blinds over the glass front... leave them up if you want to take in a breathtaking sunrise come morning. The view is also visible from the sitting area, the shower, the freestanding bath and the tent’s private verandah.

Angama Mara Food Experience

Guests can enjoy an outstanding international menu accompanied by a selection of fine South African wines. Breakfasts come complete with freshly baked pastries, fruit and muesli and various cooked breakfast options such as a Swahili omelette and scrambled eggs (with or without halloumi). At lunchtime, you can dine beneath the trees. Bush lunches generally include a selection of fresh salads and tasty sandwiches. A wide variety of international cuisine is offered for dinner. Lantern-lit barbecues are generally held in the forest, but dinners can also be served in the communal guest area or the privacy of your tent. Guests are invited to serve themselves at the open bar whenever they wish to do so.
