Angama Mara Camp — Where the Mara Unfolds Beneath You
Imagine waking up to an endless sea of golden grasslands stretching as far as the eye can see, dotted with grazing wildlife and painted by the soft morning light. Perched high on the Oloololo (Siria) Escarpment, Angama Mara Camp is one of Africa’s most extraordinary safari destinations — where luxury, romance, and wilderness converge in a way that few places on earth can match.
From this elevated vantage point, guests enjoy sweeping 180-degree views of the legendary Mara Triangle, home to some of the most abundant and diverse wildlife on the continent. Whether you are here to witness the Great Wildebeest Migration, celebrate a honeymoon, or simply lose yourself in the rhythm of safari life, Angama delivers an experience that feels both cinematic and deeply personal.

A Legendary Location
Angama Mara sits on the very hill where scenes from the iconic movie Out of Africa were filmed, and the spirit of romance still lingers in the air. Here, the escarpment falls away dramatically, and the plains stretch endlessly below. Guests often say they feel like they are “floating above the Mara” — an impression that inspired the name Angama, which means “suspended in mid-air” in Swahili.
Unlike many safari lodges, Angama enjoys its own private access road into the Mara Triangle, meaning guests can be on game drive within minutes. This privilege makes it possible to be first on the scene for wildlife encounters, from sunrise lion hunts to the nail-biting river crossings during the Migration season.
Tented Suites With a View
Each of Angama’s two intimate camps has just 15 tented suites, carefully designed to let the landscape take center stage. With floor-to-ceiling glass spanning 11 meters, your suite is a window onto the Mara — whether you’re soaking in a deep tub, enjoying a drink at your writing desk, or lying in bed.
Inside, you’ll find thoughtful touches of comfort: king-size beds with crisp linens, polished hardwood floors, double vanities, rainfall showers, personal drinks cabinets, charging stations, and fast Wi-Fi to share your moments. Interconnected family suites are also available, making Angama a perfect choice for both romantic escapes and family adventures.
Signature Experiences at Angama Mara
Every day at Angama is designed to be flexible and unhurried, so you can shape your safari exactly as you wish. Some highlights include:

Ideal For All Travellers

Seamless access to Angama Mara
Getting here is easy. A short 45–75-minute flight from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport brings you directly to Angama’s private hardtop airstrip. Within minutes of landing, you’ll find yourself on the escarpment, gazing over the vast Mara landscape and ready to begin your adventure.
