Angama Mara Lodge

Angama Mara Lodge is a luxury and classical tented lodge situated in the western part of Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve on the edge of Africa’s Rift Valley. The camp is set in a commanding position on the rim of the Siria-Oloololo Escarpment, looking down onto the Mara Triangle.

The lodge is spread along three kopje’s of the Oloololo escarpment, with the third kopje a setting for one of the most memorable scenes from the film ‘Out of Africa’. The nearest airstrip is Kichwa Tembo, which is about a 45-minute flight from Nairobi and then a half-hour drive from Angama Mara.

The lodge is unfenced and guests are not permitted to walk unattended around the camp after sunset.

How to Get There

Angama Mara is easily accessed by plane from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport, with several daily flights that land in the Mara, where an Angama Mara Guide will be waiting to transfer you to the lodge, which is just a short game drive away. Another popular route is to connect via the Serengeti and cross the Tanzania/Kenya border west of the Mara.

From the Serengeti, it’s a short hop to Tarime, a quick road transfer across the border to the Migori airstrip in Kenya, and another short hop into the Mara.

The camps are completely identical, with their own guest area and lounge, an open-plan bar, a library, an outdoor dining area, and a viewing platform that homes panoramic views across the great Kenyan plains.

Each tent has the same breathtaking views, no camp is better than the last, and every day, the sunrise provides guests with early morning theatre as the hot air balloons float gently by. 

And because Angama Mara welcomes children of 6 years and older, the lodge has four sets of interconnecting tents, which allow children to move freely between their tent and their parents in complete safety and privacy.
