What to Expect
Angama Mara is a remarkable safari lodge set high above the floor of Africa’s Great Rift Valley where days are spent exploring its incredible wildlife diversity, and guests are always spoiled for choice. With two intimate camps of just fifteen glass-fronted Tented Suites each, guests experienc tailor-made safari days and a famously warm Kenyan welcome. Guests enjoy hot-air ballooning, walking safaris, garden-to-table lunches in the Shamba, hosted photographic safaris, and time spent learning more about Maasai culture throughout the lodge, including a visit to the Masaai Mamas who create bespoke beadwork items — or simply do nothing at all.
Highlights
Tented Suites (2 camps with 15 Tented Suites each)
(30 Rooms)
Highly polished parquet floors, distinctive splashes of Maasai red, a handsome drinks cabinet (with personal bar and safe tactfully tucked away), vanity with double basins, separate w/c, writing desk with ample charging points, WiFi, Africology guest amenities, a collection of East African books, a beautiful John Vogel woven screen, and a butler’s lobby allowing for the discreet delivery of early morning tea and coffee, all add to the comfort and delight of guests in their suites.
Interconnected Family Suites
(4 Rooms)
Each camp has two sets of interconnected family suites which are identical to the Tented Suites, except with the addition of a fully enclosed walkway linking them together. This means guests can still enjoy their space and privacy, with the peace of mind of being able to safely and easily move between the two Tented Suites.
Game drives at Angama Mara are planned according to what the guests would like to do as there is no set programme. Descending down Angama Mara’s private road, 10-minutes later guests enter the Reserve. Even though there is game a-plenty around the lodge, the heart of the action takes place in one of Africa’s most iconic year-round Big Five destinations – the Mara Triangle.
Guests have access to over a huge tract of wilderness along the Oloololo Escarpment. Escorted by a Maasai naturalist guide, walks can be as long or short as guests prefer. Discover the smaller details – fascinating plants, birds, insects and animals and the role they play in traditional Maasai beliefs and customs.
Watch the hot-air balloon as it is inflated, with a steaming cup of Kenyan coffee in hand. Just before dawn lift off into the skies, witnessing the sunrise and a multitude of animals below while floating over the Mara. Come back down to earth for a champagne breakfast in the middle of the savanna’s endless plains.
