Angama Mara

An award-calibre "two camps in one" property perched 1,000 feet above the Mara Triangle, where floor-to-ceiling glass turns every Tented Suite into a private grandstand over one of Africa's most photographed landscapes.

Angama Mara occupies what might be the single best view in the Mara ecosystem — a thousand feet up on the Great Rift Valley escarpment, looking directly down over the Mara Triangle’s open plains. The property runs as two intimate camps sharing one address, just fifteen rooms between them, each a glass-fronted Tented Suite designed so the view is visible from almost anywhere inside: bed, sitting area, even the shower.

It’s a property built for slowing down as much as for game drives — the term “rocking chair safari” gets used seriously here, describing an afternoon spent simply watching the plains change light from a private deck chair rather than chasing every sighting by vehicle. When guests do head out, the position above the Triangle means shorter drives to some of the Mara’s richest game country, and the return each evening is to a room that stays the main event in its own right.

Tented Suites — Glass-fronted suites with 360-degree views from the bed, sitting area and even the bathroom, canvas sides in olive outside and cream within, plus a private deck for in-room dining.
