Angama Mara sits on the lip of the Oloololo Escarpment, looking straight down onto the Mara’s plains from a height few other lodges in Africa can claim. Built on the site of the original ‘Out of Africa’ film set, it pairs that extraordinary vantage with a design sensibility that has made it one of the most decorated safari properties on the continent.
Thirty glass-fronted tented suites split across two camps, each with a private deck angled toward the escarpment’s edge and the migration plains far below.
A design-forward dining programme with meals served both indoors and on open decks, built around the drama of the view as much as the food itself.
Game drives onto the Mara plains below, escarpment walks, and, in season, a front-row seat to the wildebeest migration crossing the Mara River.
The Mara’s resident big cat population, along with the annual wildebeest migration between July and October, makes this one of the most reliable big-game landscapes anywhere in Africa.
The escarpment-top position is unmatched for wide, layered landscape shots of the plains at first and last light, a genuinely different register from ground-level game drive photography.
Angama runs the Angama Foundation, funding education and conservation programmes across the surrounding Mara ecosystem and its community-owned conservancies.
