Angama Mara Lodge
Perched high on the Oloololo Escarpment overlooking the endless plains of the Maasai Mara, Angama Mara is a world-renowned luxury safari lodge offering unmatched views, exclusivity, and elegance. Its name, derived from the Swahili word Angama meaning “suspended in mid-air,” reflects its breathtaking position above the Mara Triangle. With floor-to-ceiling glass-fronted suites, guests enjoy panoramic vistas of one of the richest wildlife reserves on Earth.
Angama Mara is more than a safari lodge—it is a destination of its own. From its dramatic location featured in the film Out of Africa to its unique blend of contemporary design and warm Kenyan hospitality, every moment at Angama Mara feels magical.
