Balanced on the rim of Africa’s Great Rift Valley, Angama Mara is the culmination of Steve & Nicky Fitzgerald’s incredible careers developing and operating safari lodges all over the world at the helm of &Beyond. More than anything, Angama is founded on the underlying belief in guest delight, with a fresh take on both the safari experience and lodge design.
Angama, inspired by the Swahili word for ‘suspended in mid-air. Located high above the floor of Africa’s Great Rift Valley, Angama Mara is a remarkable owner-run safari lodge overlooking Kenya’s Maasai Mara, considered by many as the loveliest game reserve on the continent.
Here guests will find a lodge where everything is as it should be: two intimate camps of just fifteen tented suites each, a private airfield and access to the Mara below, tailor-made safari days, and a famously warm Kenyan welcome.
The lodge is perfectly complemented by Angama Safari Camp, an exclusive-use mobile tented camp sited deep in the Mara Triangle, and amidst the mega herds during the Great Migration.
Our approach to taking care of guests has been developed, tried, and tested for over 30 years. Here, days are crafted around what guests want to do. We understand that guests seek a quiet place to reconnect with the world again. Angama Mara is also a place of fun, filled with the unexpected but always authentic, honest, and mindful that less is often so much more. And only by taking care of our guests well can we do good for those around us.
