Angama Mara

Located on the edge of Africa’s Great Rift Valley, Angama Mara overlooks Kenya’s famed Maasai Mara. With two intimate camps of 15 tented suites each, a private airfield and access to the Mara below, guests can choose from a range of special tours that include customised jeep and walking safaris, hot air ballooning, photography expeditions, and cultural visits to neighbouring Maasai villages. Be sure to witness sightings of lions, leopards, black rhinos and abundant herds of elephant and buffalo. On a quiet day, plan a picnic breakfast after watching a magnificent sunrise and embark on a boat ride along the Mara River. Interestingly, even if you miss the peak season which has the migration, you can go in any season and get to unearth a slice of the generous Mara pie. Indeed, each season offers something new with the attraction of storm clouds and lush green grasslands, watching the Big Five in their natural habitat and listening to stories of the local tribes.

Best accessed by plane from Nairobi with many scheduled daily flights landing at the lodge’s private airfield. Another popular route is to connect via Serengeti and cross Tanzania/kenya border west of the Mara. Both Kilimanjaro and Dar es Salaam airports are well connected with a network of flights connecting to the Serengeti safari lodges and camps.
