Inspired by the Swahili word for ‘suspended in mid-air’ Angama Mara is located high above the floor of Africa’s Great Rift Valley. This remarkable owner-run safari lodge overlooking Maasai Mara, considered by many as one of the best safari lodges in Kenya.
Here guests will find a lodge where everything is as it ought to be: two intimate camps of just fifteen tented suites each, a private airfield and access to the Mara below, tailor-made safari days and a famously warm Kenyan welcome.
The tents are all identical, each with wonderful views of the Mara below. Each camp has its own Guest Area and team of hospitality staff. Between the two camps, and within easy walking distance of all the tents, is the Pavilion. Here, guests may enjoy the use of the Swimming Pool, the Fitness Room, the Safari Shop, the Maasai Beading Studio and the Photographic Studio.
The lodge is perfectly complemented by Angama Safari Camp, an exclusive-use mobile tented camp sited deep in the Mara Triangle, and amidst the mega herds during the Great Migration.
Angama Mara’s elegant tented suites have been designed to make the most of the extraordinary views of the Maasai Mara from every angle – from the bed, the bath, the sitting area, the shower and even the w/c. With the front of the tents featuring floor-to-ceiling glass, the roof and other three sides are canvas – classic safari olive on the outside and cream on the inside for romance. Spanning over 100 sqm, the tented suites all include spacious decks for in-room dining, massage treatments and red rocking chair safaris.
Each camp has two sets of interconnected family suites which are identical to tented suites, except with the addition of a fully enclosed walkway linking them together. This means you can still enjoy your space and privacy, with the peace of mind of being able to safely and easily move between the two tented suites. Children under the age of 12 can share a tented suite with their parents, with a fold-out bed converting it into a triple.
A light-footprint sole-use tented camp accommodating up to eight guests in four lovely ensuite tents sited deep in the Maasai Mara. This unique camp captures the romance and adventure of the glorious Golden Age of safaris, yet with a lightness of spirit that will both surprise and delight guests. Here, you can enjoy the comforts of 21st century camping, but with the thrill of having nothing but canvas between you, the Mara and year-round abundant wildlife right on your doorstep.
Angama's team draws inspiration from the finest ingredients Kenya has to offer: beautiful vegetables from the highlands, tropical fruits a-plenty from the coast, cheese from a renowned supplier just outside Nairobi, prawns from Malindi, freshwater fish from Lake Victoria and beef from the north. Kenyan cuisine is deeply influenced by Arab-inspired Swahili dishes from the coast and Indian food from the significant community that has called Kenya home for many generations.
Perfectly cooked and perfectly presented using the best and freshest ingredients. Celebrating Kenya’s finest produce – beef, vegetables, fruits, coffee and tea – ingredients list as long as your grocery list tossed together with spices from the Swahili coast: cardamom, chilies, cilantro, ginger, cinnamon and cloves. Nearly a third of the menu is vegetarian for those who can’t get enough of the abundant fruits and vegetables Kenya has to offer.
