Robb Report, July 2023Perched on the edge of an escarpment overlooking the Masai Mara, the Angama Mara has one of the world's most spectacular settings: it's where Out of Africa was filmed some 30 years ago. The place was designed so guests feel they are floating in air.
Travel + Leisure, June 2016The sleek tents are glass-fronted, with no pesky zips or fussy flaps; interiors include John Vogel-designed beds, roll-top bathtubs and a bold Maasai-red motif throughout... It is, above all, the unspeakably special location which sets this place apart...

Spectacular Views at Angama Mara
Perched on the edge of the Oloololo Escarpment, 1,000 feet above the Maasai Mara, Angama Mara offers unparalleled vistas that stretch for miles. The lodge’s name, inspired by the Swahili word for “suspended in mid-air,” perfectly captures the breathtaking feeling that no matter where you are, you’ll always have the best seat in the house.
Unique Location and Design
Angama Mara stands apart with its unconventional design, positioned at the edge of the escarpment with panoramic views across the Mara plains below. Covering 700 hectares, the lodge directly borders the Mara Triangle and offers 1.2 kilometers of Rift Valley frontage, its own forests, and abundant wildlife. The rare beauty of this site evokes a dreamlike sense of being suspended between heaven and earth.
A Setting Steeped in Romance
Guests are instantly captivated by the romance of Angama Mara’s surroundings, where some of the most iconic scenes from the movie Out of Africa were filmed. Every Tented Suite along the escarpment offers magnificent views—no room has the “best” or “worst” view, as each enjoys the awe-inspiring landscape of the Rift Valley.
Unrivaled Exclusivity and Access
With a private road leading directly into the Maasai Mara Reserve, guests can reach the entrance within 10 minutes, ensuring quick and exclusive access to this world-famous wildlife destination.
Your Adventure, Your Way
Each day at Angama Mara is yours to curate. Embark on a hot-air balloon safari, capture Africa’s diverse wildlife on a game drive, stroll along the Great Rift Valley, or indulge in local cuisine—there's no shortage of unforgettable experiences.
