Angama (Masai Mara)

In the Masai Mara, two very different and complementary experiences offer something for everyone. Angama Mara, is high up on the escarpment, overlooking the Mara Triangle below. And the tented camp in the heart of the reserve, Angama Safari Camp which is surrounded by the mega herds during the Great Migration.

At both camps, you can expect a warm Kenyan welcome from a team of consummate and characterful professionals. With well considered guest experiences, contemporary African design with surprising and delightful details throughout. And just enough spontaneity and humor to ensure that no one forgets to have fun.

Angama Mara Main Camp

Angama Mara has views that stretch as far as the eye can see. Across the Masai Mara in Kenya, set some 300 meters below. The interiors of Angama Mara’s guest areas are wrapped on all four sides by glass stacking doors. This offers guests an indoor/outdoor experience. With expansive decks, there is no defined sitting room, dining room, or bar. Just a charming mix of everything.

Many of the loveliest scenes from the legendary movie Out of Africa with Robert Redford and Meryl Streep were filmed on the site of Angama Mara. Therefore, Angama Mara will be extra special for you.

Angama Mara Accommodation

The lodge is divided into two adjacent camps of just 15 x tented suites each, North and South Camp. The tents are all identical, each with wonderful views of the Mara below. Each camp has its own Guest Area and a team of hospitality staff. Between the two camps, and within easy walking distance of all the tents, is the Pavilion. Here, guests may enjoy the use of the Swimming Pool, the Fitness Room, the Safari Shop, the Maasai Beading Studio, and the Photographic Studio.

Each tented suite and guest area hangs on the edge of the Rift Valley. The spacious 100m² suites have glass spanning all along the front to make the most of the dramatic views with spacious decks. Where you can enjoy private dinners, and massage treatments and watch the wildlife in the Masai Mara. Wake up to hot air balloons sailing past the 11m wide floor to ceiling glass fronts of your tented suite.

The interiors are uncluttered, classic, and above all, comfortable with splashes of Maasai Red, French Khaki, copper, and brass.

There is a wheelchair-friendly Tented Suite, Patty’s Tent. The tent includes modifications such as grab rails and ramps. Without sacrificing any special touches or comforts. Suite is clear of any unnecessary furniture and there are accessible paths between the Tented Suite, Guest Area and vehicle drop-off point. Guests requiring zimmer frames or walking sticks to get around the camp will always be accommodated in tents near the guest areas.

Masai Mara Family Safaris

Children of all ages are welcome
Children 12 and under will need to share a triple (either with parents or siblings)
Angama Mara has two sets of interconnected tents in each camp. These are reserved for families traveling with children aged 12 and under. Guests can enjoy their space and privacy, with the peace of mind of being able to move safely and easily between the two Tented Suites.  They are two standard tents connected by a secure interleading passageway. Each set can sleep up to two adults and four children.

There is complimentary childminding between 6 pm and 10 pm daily, so parents can enjoy a quiet dinner while on safari.

Children’s activities on safari in Kenya

Going on safari with your children is one of the most transformative travel experiences shared as a family. What could be more rewarding than discovering Africa’s animals? Great and small. Birds are too numerous to count, and a rich diversity of cultures. At Angama Mara, their approach is to keep young guests busy. Tailoring their adventures throughout their stay.

Over and above going out on safari, include:
Put on a special Angama apron and join Angama’s baker in the kitchen. Measuring, pouring, and mixing. And of course, taste testing the final result.
Explore the escarpment with a Maasai warrior. Learning about their culture while discovering interesting plants, trees, and herbs.
Under the guidance of an expert Maasai warrior, master the special skills that have enabled them to live amongst Africa’s wild animals.
Learn the basics of photography at the Angama Photographic Studio on your own mobile phone, point-and-shoot, or manual camera.
Join the Maasai Mamas at their worktable where they will teach you the delicate art of beading.
The Shamba is so much more than an ordinary vegetable patch. Join the shamba keepers as they harvest fresh and healthy fruit, vegetables, and herbs, tasting them along the way.

The Masai Mara and what there is to do

The Masai Mara is especially renowned for its lion prides (including the Angama Pride, just below the lodge). The other members of Africa’s Big Five are also regularly sighted. Together with hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the bat-eared fox. Of course, the Mara River is home to numerous pods of hippos and some of Africa’s largest crocodiles. Great photographic opportunities present themselves with topi standing perched on anthills. Or Masai giraffe moving gracefully across the plains. Both Grant’s and Thomson’s Gazelles graze peacefully amongst Coke’s hartebeest, impala, and herds of lovely eland, the continent’s largest antelope.

The Mara Triangle is also home to more than 470 bird species. Including almost 60 raptors such as vultures and martial eagles. Surely the loveliest of them all has to be the graceful crowned crane. These are always found in pairs, together with secretary birds, lilac-breasted rollers, long-crested eagles, superb starlings, pygmy falcons, and endangered ground hornbills to name just a few.

Angama Mara’s experienced guides make every effort to deliver life changing wildlife adventures for their guests. Be it for first timers, birding enthusiasts, or photographers of all skill levels. Or safari devotees whose great joy is just to simply be amongst Africa’s creatures, both great and small. The guides are storytellers and interpret the Mara in a way that immerses their guests in the surroundings. Guests will have the opportunity to enjoy the knowledge and companionship of more than one guide as their desired safari experience changes from day to day. And the guiding team will endeavor to match like-minded guests with each other. Birders will go on safari with fellow birders. As will those with a keen interest in photography or another special interest.

Angama Mara Activities ↓

Masai Mara Safaris

Angama Mara’s guides tailor-make their guests’ safari days.  Because the weather is so mild in the Mara, there are no constraints as to when to go on a game drive. Choose to go out early and be back at the lodge for breakfast. Out early with a picnic breakfast and back for lunch. Out after breakfast with a picnic lunch and back mid-afternoon. A post-lunch game drive and back at sunset. Or very best of all, spending a whole day exploring the Mara Triangle. With a picnic breakfast and lunch down at the Tanzanian border without a soul in sight. That’s an all-time favorite.

Descend down Angama Mara’s private road and 10 minutes later find yourselves in the heart of the action. Surrounded by more animals than you could imagine. The vast grasslands dotted with acacias are home to abundant herds. As well as Africa’s Big Five – lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo.

The safari vehicles offer comfy seats, ample legroom, charging stations, and canvas roofs for respite from the sun. All game drives have a maximum of 6 x guests per vehicle. Other than families or groups where up to 9 x guests can be accommodated per vehicle. Should you prefer, private safari vehicles can be booked in advance.

Hot Air Balloon

Enjoy one of the iconic experiences of Africa, floating gently over the Maasai Mara in a hot air balloon.

Wake before dawn, with freshly brewed tea or coffee delivered right to your tent. Enjoy the fresh, early morning drive to one of the two launch sites within easy reach from the lodge. If you’re still waking up, enjoy another cup of coffee and watch as the balloon is slowly inflated. A quick and straightforward pre flight briefing, and before you know it, the balloon is airborne. And you’re floating effortlessly above the Mara.

The soft, early morning breeze takes the balloon southwards towards the Tanzanian border. With the typical flight path along the Mara River and its adjoining forest, and over the open plains beyond.

This is an unmatched safari. Even the lions look up in surprise as one sails on by. All the animals of the Mara are visible from the air. A flight normally lasts around one hour and ends with a sometimes bumpy landing amidst the termite mounds. It is all part of the adventure. Once you’ve settled back to earth, toast the morning’s activities with a celebratory champagne breakfast. Specially prepared under a tree in the middle of nowhere.

Walking Safari

Walking safaris at Angama Mara are tailor made for every guest. Depending on the time of day, and the length of the walk, they can include picnic baskets, blankets, or even a lift back to the lodge. From a gentle 2 hour stroll to a full day’s walk, guests can choose exactly how they would like to discover the Rift Valley on foot.

As Angama Mara isn’t inside the Masai Mara (where walking safaris are not allowed), they can offer these walking safaris. Leaving Angama Mara and heading South along the edge of the Oloololo Escarpment, Maasai Naturalists offer guided walks through lovely forests and open areas in between. The birding up here, high above the Maasai Mara, is especially rewarding.

Guests learn the traditional ways of the Maasai people from the Naturalists. Local legends, fables, traditions, customs, and the medicinal use of plants. You are often treated to singing and dancing along the way. All the while, lovely views of the Mara 300m below offer glimpses of great herds of buffalo. Or a solitary elephant melting into the forest.

Photography At Angama Mara

There is something about being in the Mara Triangle that simply forces you to grab your camera and catch that fleeting moment of beauty. Be it a balloon floating gently by with the sunrise as a backdrop. The patterns that the clouds form on the great grasslands below. Or a giraffe peering curiously down at you through its long eyelashes. Taking great pictures in the Mara is easy and fun for photographers thanks to the open grasslands, the abundance of wildlife year round, and well trained guides who understand your photographic needs.

Angama Mara’s Photographic Studio is an exciting hub of imagery, content creation, teaching, and sharing. During private photographic tutorials with the on site wildlife photographer, you can learn how to come to grips with your camera. Gaining the confidence to shoot ‘off auto’. For those who would like to test out some new photographic equipment, the Studio has cameras, lenses, and specialist kits available for hire.

As most photographers know, much of the magic happens during the editing process when knowing exactly what to fix, straighten, and adjust makes all the difference. With the assistance of Studio Hosts, learn how to bring the best out of your images on large screen Apple desktops, loaded with the latest editing software. You can even print a small portfolio of your own photographs on the Studio’s photographic printer. Of course, you can also hop online and share daily wildlife sightings with your online communities. Or even enter The Greatest Maasai Mara Photographer of the Year competition.

Please note that costs apply for printing and equipment hire.

Private Photographic Safaris and Photo Shoots

Photographers looking to improve their technical photographic skills and knowledge can spend time exploring the Mara with seasoned safari photographic guides. Angama Mara’s on site wildlife photographer and a selection of specialist guides can accompany you on private photographic safaris.

For those who prefer to put down their cameras and enjoy their Mara experience to the fullest, the in house photographer can capture these wonderful memories on your behalf. Options range from family photo shoots around the lodge to the photographer joining you on your game drive vehicle for half a day to capture the whole safari adventure, both people and wildlife.

*Please inquire when booking for rates and photographic guide availability.

Maasai Culture

In the heart of Maasailand, Angama Mara is surrounded by many traditional homestead manyattas that welcome travelers. Here, guests enjoy a rare opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the everyday lives of the Maasai, their ways, their fascinating culture, and what daily challenges they face in maintaining the fine balance between preserving their ancient ways and embracing the new.

Every evening at sunset, Maasai warriors perform in the lodge’s traditional boma, and here, guests can not only photograph this time honored celebration of song and dance but can also participate should they so wish. In Angama Mara’s craft studio, guests can try their hand at Maasai craft, as skilled ladies bead bespoke items onto pieces of clothing. Angama Mara has also had the privilege of hosting Maasai weddings, vow renewals, the Olympics, and even a Maasai Mitzvah.

Relaxing at Angama Mara

For those wanting to take things a little easier, a masseuse offers full body massages on the tent’s deck. Or indulge in a rocking chair safari. Each tent has two comfy bright red rocking chairs, from which you can enjoy the parade of wildlife in the Mara spread out below. All the tents have binoculars and there is a spotting scope in the guest area. There are heaps of resident game around the lodge. And watching the raptors soar effortlessly above and below you is a great way to while away the hours.

In the guest areas, there is a lovely stand alone library. There a high speed WiFi network in tents and guest areas.

Angama Mara has a beautiful swimming pool (12m x 6m) with rim flow views of the Mara below and beyond. The pool was designed with families and sun lovers in mind. Alongside the pool is the lodge’s Fitness Room, once again with floor to ceiling glass stacking doors to enjoy the view. Guests can choose from elliptical, treadmills and bicycles, yoga, Pilates balls, and a ballet bar for stretching.

Angama Mara’s Safari Shop offers guests the opportunity to browse through a curated selection of Kenyan and African jewelry, fashion, artifacts, and literature. Leading off from the shop is a Maasai craft studio, where guests can try their hand at beading or even perhaps have Maasai ladies bead a bespoke item onto their clothing. This is the perfect place for children to spend a few hours.

Guests are welcome to stroll through the staff village, past the zebra and giraffe, to the lodge’s community clinic. Say hello to the doctor. Or pop into the community duka (shop) and buy a cold Tusker (local beer).

Out of Africa Movie

When the location scouts for the movie Out of Africa came searching for a site that was similar to Ngong Hills, they found the perfect site here. Some of the loveliest scenes were filmed just a few minutes walk from the lodge. In celebration of this, there are subtle touches in and around the lodge.

Guests at Angama Mara Lodge are surprised by a private picnic for two on the crest of the Out of Africa kopje. Wicker basket, a checked blanket, and a Stanley flask. This is only available to guests staying at Angama. For those guests who love the movie or are hopeless romantics, this is surely the highlight of any stay. On the way back to the lodge, stop in to pay your respects.

Angama Mara Dining

Angama Mara draws inspiration from the finest ingredients Kenya has to offer. Beautiful vegetables from the highlands, tropical fruits aplenty from the coast, cheese from a renowned supplier just outside Nairobi, prawns from Malindi, freshwater fish from Lake Victoria, and beef from the north. Kenyan cuisine is deeply influenced by Arab-inspired Swahili dishes from the coast and Indian food from the significant community that has called this country home for many generations.

Enjoy a picnic for 2 on the Out of Africa kopje. Served under a lone tree in the middle of the short grass plains of the Maasai Mara with only giraffe, elephant, and buffalo as dining companions. In the evenings, guests may dine in a lantern lit forest off a barbecue à la carte menu with the calls of hyenas serenading them as they share stories of their day’s adventures on safari.

After a restful night’s sleep, a knock on the door and a butler discreetly leave fresh orange juice, steaming coffee, and a newly baked something in the lobby. All meals can be enjoyed on the tented suite’s deck, at the lodge, by the pool, or, best of all, a Mara picnic in the shade of a lone tree in the middle of nowhere.

There is even a small separate Kosher kitchen at Angama Mara that can prepare meals for up to 12 guests. This includes crockery, cutlery, cooking utensils, pots and pans, charcoal grill, cooking top, refrigeration, and washing up facilities. It is kept locked at all times other than when in use for kosher guests.

Gluten-free? Vegan? Soymilk, almond milk? No problem. Low sodium, no garlic, Chinese, food allergies, Halaal? At Angama, food preferences are all in a day’s work.

The Shamba

Angama Mara also has a beautiful one acre kitchen garden, Shamba. Where guests can pick their own vegetables and toss their own salads for lunch. The Shamba is a much loved experience for Angama Mara’s guests. Within easy walking distance of the lodge guests often stop by on their way to or from the Reserve. The shamba keepers welcome guests at the passion fruit arbor which forms the entrance and guide them through the kitchen garden encouraging them to pick and taste along the way. The layout is reminiscent of snakes and ladders and the shamba keepers share the story behind its unique design. This is no ordinary vegetable patch.

The lodge offers private shamba to table lunches in the garden under towering shady moth trees. Guests are free to pick their own ingredients. Butlers prepare a wicker basket filled with loaves of bread, local cheese, and chilled rosé wine to accompany the salads. Guests are left to enjoy the afternoon while taking in sweeping views of the Mara below and watching the butterflies dance through the garden.

Angama Foundation

Each guest at Angama Mara contributes a donation to the Angama Foundation which supports the communities that neighbor the lodge and the wildlife and land that surround it. The Foundation is active in three fields of work: Education, Healthcare, and Conservation. Don’t hesitate to ask us for more information on the amazing community work the Angama Foundation is doing.

The best time to visit the Masai Mara

The Maasai Mara is great to visit all year round and there is always an abundance of wildlife. July through to September or October are the best months to visit for guests who would like to witness the Wildebeest Migration. And the dramatic river crossing. Others prefer to go outside these months so there aren’t as many people around. There are numerous resident herds that quite rightly do not deem it necessary to leave this beautiful reserve by embarking on the annual trek to Tanzania.

The Masai Mara has two rain seasons. Short and Long Rains are terms used by local farmers and sadly adopted and misinterpreted by the tourism industry. Long rains are in April and May. Long because the rainy season can last for 6 – 8 weeks. The short rains are between late October to December. These rains can last for 4 weeks. Please note: it does not rain day in and day out like Seattle or England! The rains usually come in dramatic late afternoon thunderstorms and after an hour out comes the sun.

There are many reasons that this time is even better for your safari in the Masai Mara. The lush green landscape is truly beautiful with dramatic skies and rainbows. There is no dust so the air is crisp and clean which makes for wonderful photography. It is also the best time for birding with all the beautiful widowbirds and whydahs performing in their full regalia. To top it off, rates are lower than the migration season and there are fewer visitors making sightings more exclusive.

Angama Mara Location & Access:

There are daily scheduled flights from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport to Angama Mara. The flights are about 45 minutes, depending on the routing. Angama Mara airstrip is only a 5-minute drive from camp. Getting to Safari Camp is on average about a 60 minute safari, depending on game viewing en route
There is excellent air access from Nairobi and the Serengeti (via Migori in Kenya and Tarime in Tanzania)
It is a 6 hour road transfer from Nairobi to the lodge for guests who prefer not to fly. The first half in a closed vehicle and the second half in a safari vehicle.
The camps are easily accessible by road from other camps in the Greater Maasai Mara

More Information on Masai Mara Celebrations including weddings and group rates ↓

Weddings, Vow renewals, anniversaries, bar mitzvahs, engagements, honeymoons, and milestone birthdays – there is much to celebrate in life, and why not whilst on safari? The Angama Mara team loves planning a celebration whatever the occasion. And they do it in Maasai style: with beautiful beadwork, dancing warriors, extraordinary backdrops, and of course the warmest Kenyan service and hospitality.

Maasai Blessings

Couples either wanting to renew their vows or celebrate a milestone wedding anniversary can do this at an authentic, low key sunset celebration in the Maasai boma or lovely Shamba. The husband will get a Maasai shirt and a beaded walking stick. The wife, a traditional beaded skirt, top, and beautiful Maasai jewelry. You arrive in the boma accompanied by singing and dancing maidens and warriors. After a performance by the warriors, the elders will bless the couple.
*Please note all bespoke Maasai beaded items are for the guests’ account. See Angama Mara wedding for more information on Maasai Blessings and Classic Wedding options.

An Out Of Africa Engagement

What could be more romantic than a proposal right on the site of the movie about one of the greatest love stories set in colonial Kenya? Where Out of Africa was filmed. The little hill featured on the movie’s poster is where the lodge team sets up a champagne picnic on its crest. With sweeping views of the Masai Mara below. With such a setting they have yet to have a refusal!

Special Birthdays

Whether it’s just a couple traveling together celebrating a milestone birthday. Or a multi-generational gathering of a family clan. The lodge loves to throw a party. These take place in the Maasai Boma at sunset, accompanied by toasts with traditional Kenyan ‘Dawa’ cocktails. The birthday person receives a beautifully beaded Maasai gift. A warrior performance is dedicated to the birthday celebrant. For a more discreet celebration, guests can be surprised and spoiled by a champagne picnic for two on the crest of the Out of Africa kopje.

Bar Mitzvahs Maasai Style

During their Bar Mitzvah year, young Jewish men can celebrate their coming of age in the heart of Maasailand. The day starts with a wilderness walk in the company of a Maasai naturalist. He will share his story about his Maasai journey from boyhood to manhood and teach him how to throw a spear and shoot with a bow and arrow. After a hearty breakfast, spend a couple of quiet hours with a Maasai elder in a traditional manyatta (homestead) in the Shamba. He will share his wisdom about this transition. The day is capped with an evening ceremony. When the young man is the guest of honor in the boma and dances with the Maasai warriors. Following this, he is blessed by the elders.
