While the camp has a lovely location for the view it can get quite windy. This lodge is a little larger than we prefer but due to the lovely staff still keeps an intimate feel.

Angama Mara is a remarkable owner-run safari lodge inspired by the Swahili word for ‘suspended in mid-air’. Located high above the floor of Africa’s Great Rift Valley, Angama Mara overlooks Kenya’s Maasai Mara, considered by many as the loveliest game reserve on the continent.
Here guests will find a lodge with two intimate camps of just fifteen tented suites each. A pavilion, set between the two camps, is home to a large swimming pool, fitness center and curio shop. Each of the spacious tented suites has a glass frontage to offer views from the bed, bath, sitting area and shower. The roof and other three sides are canvas – classic safari olive on the outside and cream on the inside for romance with distinctive splashes of Maasai red.
Days are as action-packed or as gentle as guests choose them to be. The Mara Triangle is home to Africa’s great mammals, a mere 25 minute drive from the lodge. Guests can experience hot air ballooning, walking safaris, cultural visits to neighboring Maasai villages – or simply do nothing at all.
At the heart of the lodge surely has to be the kind, warm and gentle team of Kenyans who take loving care of all the guests. The lodge family of safari guides, chefs, butlers, housekeepers and camp managers is driven by guest delight; the joy of being of service runs deep in this owner-run safari lodge
