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.
