Set high up on the Oloololo Escarpment, over a series of three protruding kopjes, Angama seems to hang from the edge of the Rift Valley. It can lay claim to the view that was made famous by the film Out of Africa. This spectacular vista – now-iconic – is seen from a nearby hill, known as the ‘Out of Africa Kopje’.
This dramatic vantage point affords spectacular views of the famous Mara Triangle, which spreads far into the distance.
The drama of the setting continues inside, with two camps of 15 spacious tented suites – each one looking out over the plains of the Mara, which begin far below and continue until the horizon.
Style and unbeatable service aside, in the end, Angama Mara is all about the views. Hard to accurately describe and even harder to beat, they are likely to be the highlight of any stay.
The blended style and contemporary feel of the camp may not be for purists. But for anyone else, its perfect balance of simplicity and style – in the heart of the Mara – makes this a truly unique property.
The 15 minimalist tented suites offer sweeping views of the Mara below, with hot air balloons that float past the rooms at sunrise. Stylish, contemporary furnishings cover the large parquet flooring, whilst the modern red brickwork in the main guest area is a nod to the traditional Maasai building technique.
Angama’s creative buzz is maintained by a busy in-lodge studio, where Maasai women craft bespoke beaded products. Here, try your hand at beading or have the chance to have an item of clothing beaded by these talented craftswomen. The lodge also has its very own art gallery, showcasing East African arts and crafts for sale.
Linked to the Mara Triangle by a private access road, Angama Mara offers quick access to the abundance of wildlife that fills these fertile grasslands – the drive takes just 25 minutes. The escarpment itself is perfect for walking, with the birding a highlight.
We know a thing or two about bespoke holidays – we’ve been creating them since 1989. Take a trip through the Kenya holidays that we love today.
