Why Stay?
Founded on the underlying belief in guest delight and offering a fresh spin on the traditional safari experience and lodge design, the thoughtfully designed Angama Mara balances modern comfort with an immersive connection to the Kenyan wilderness.
Inspired by the Swahili word for ‘suspended in mid-air’, Angama Mara is perched on the rim of The Great Rift Valley, 1000 feet above the Maasai Mara, so you’re guaranteed the best seat in the house. The front of the tents feature floor-to-ceiling glass which frame the expansive Mara Triangle, where the drama of the wild unfolds every day, while the roof and other three sides are canvas – classic safari olive on the outside and cream on the inside for romance. Spanning over 100 square metres, all include spacious decks for in-room dining, massage treatments and red rocking chair safaris.
With a philosophy that less is so often much more, these are relaxed and gentle places with warm Kenyan hospitality, fun-filled days and a dash of the unexpected. The approach to wildlife viewing is refreshingly flexible, so, whether you prefer full-day explorations, a morning hot-air balloon safari, or a guided walk with Maasai escorts, your safari is tailored to your desires.
Beyond game drives, the property invites relaxation with its infinity pool, library, shop and fitness facilities. Dining is an event in itself, with the option to enjoy gourmet meals in the elegant restaurant, on your private deck, or as a picnic atop a nearby hill – a spot that might seem very familiar to fans of the Oscar-winning movie, ‘Out of Africa’.
