Located on the edge of a dramatic escarpment boasting what could easily be the one of the best views in the whole of Africa; the seemingly endless grass plains of the Masai Mara.
Angama Mara aptly named as it translates to 'suspended in mid-air' is one of the newest editions to the luxury camps and lodges of the world famous Masai Mara. This amazing owner–run safari lodge is located on the edge of a dramatic escarpment boasting what could easily be the one of the best views in the whole of Africa; the seemingly endless grass plains of the Masai Mara.
The camp is split in two over two Kopjes with vistas that stretch as far as the eye can see, a third Kopje – just a short walk from the lodge has been left untouched; it was the setting of some of the most iconic scenes in the movie Out of Africa and now makes for a fantastic walk and sundowner spot for guests.
Angama Mara is split into two separate camps, each built on its own kopje and each consisting of 15 tents. There are four family suites in total (two per camp) and children up the age of 12 may share a triple-bed tent. Each canvas tent as a 10m / 33ft wide front window that leads from the 70sqm / 750sqft interior onto the 35sqm / 375sqft deck. All beds are extra-length king-sized and all suites can be reconfigured with twin beds.
Rooms are equipped with fans, personal bars, safes, emergency sirens (the camp is unfenced to allow game to wander through), binoculars and a butler’s lobby. The en suite bathrooms have tubs, showers, separate toilets, twin vanities and hairdryers.
Good food is a central focus at Angama Mara and all the drinking water is purified and bottled in glass containers on site to keep its footprint as low as possible. Private dinners may be arranged in your room or outdoors – how about dinner for two under the stars at that famous Out of Africa picnic spot?
Tailor-made safari days including Big Five game viewing, hot air ballooning launching right from the camp, walking safaris on the escarpment, and authentic Maasai cultural interactions.
