Angama Mara Maasai Mara : A Luxury Safari Above the Mara

Experience one of Kenya's most distinctive luxury safari addresses, suspended above the Maasai Mara with extraordinary views across the Mara Triangle, elegant Tented Suites and carefully designed safari experiences.

Angama Mara Maasai Mara combines dramatic Rift Valley scenery, contemporary safari design and access to the wildlife-rich Mara Triangle. The property sits high above the Maasai Mara, creating a distinctive sense of space while keeping guests close to the reserve.

For travellers seeking a luxury Maasai Mara safari, the appeal is more than accommodation. Angama Mara creates a complete safari experience built around exceptional views, private moments, personalised service, wildlife encounters and unhurried time in one of Kenya's most celebrated landscapes.


Location

_______

Where Is Angama Mara?

Angama Mara is positioned on the edge of the Great Rift Valley above Kenya's Maasai Mara. Its elevated setting overlooks the Mara Triangle, giving guests sweeping views across the grasslands and wildlife landscape below.

The property covers approximately 700 hectares and sits close to the Mara Triangle, making it an appealing base for travellers who want dramatic scenery without sacrificing access to game drives.

The combination of elevation, landscape and contemporary architecture gives Angama Mara a character that feels very different from a conventional safari lodge.

Stay in Style

_______

Angama Mara Tented Suites

Accommodation is designed around the landscape. The spacious Tented Suites use floor-to-ceiling glass to frame the Maasai Mara, while canvas, timber and refined interiors retain the atmosphere of a classic African safari.

Safari Experiences

_______

What to Do at Angama Mara

Angama Mara is designed for travellers who want more than conventional game drives. The experience can combine wildlife, photography, walking, conservation, culture and memorable time within the lodge itself.

The Great Migration

_______

Angama Mara for the Great Migration

The Maasai Mara is one of East Africa's iconic Great Migration destinations. During the migration season, large herds move through the Mara ecosystem, creating exceptional opportunities for wildlife photography and game viewing.

Angama Mara's elevated position provides a memorable perspective over the surrounding landscape, while safari access into the Mara Triangle puts guests close to the action when wildlife movements bring the spectacle into the area.

Migration timing varies from year to year. A well-designed safari should therefore consider seasonality, current wildlife movements, accommodation availability and the traveller's photographic or wildlife priorities.

Angama Safari Camp

_______

Go Deeper into the Mara

Travellers seeking a more intimate wilderness experience can consider Angama Safari Camp, a separate light-footprint camp deep inside the Mara Triangle.

The camp accommodates up to eight guests in four en-suite tents and provides a more traditional, immersive safari atmosphere. It is particularly compelling during the Great Migration season.

Luxury Safari Planning

_______

Angama Mara Rates & Safari Costs

Angama Mara operates fully inclusive rates priced per guest per night, with pricing changing according to season. For 2026, published rates range from approximately USD 1,850 per person per night in Standard Season to USD 2,750 during Peak Season.

Rates generally include accommodation, meals and drinks, guided safaris in the Mara Triangle, guided walking safaris, selected property experiences, laundry, WiFi and transfers from Kichwa Tembo Airstrip. Park fees, gratuities, certain premium experiences and other exclusions should be budgeted separately.

Because luxury safari rates and park fees can change, Ababa Uganda Safaris recommends confirming the current tariff and inclusions before booking.

Who Is It For?

_______

Who Should Stay at Angama Mara?

Best Time to Visit

_______

When to Visit Angama Mara Maasai Mara

Angama Mara can work throughout the year because the Maasai Mara offers varied safari experiences across different seasons. July to September is particularly popular with travellers interested in the Great Migration, while other months can offer excellent wildlife viewing, greener landscapes and different travel conditions.

The best time depends on whether your priority is migration, photography, honeymoon travel, birding, lower-season value or a quieter luxury safari. Ababa Uganda Safaris can build the itinerary around your preferred travel window.

Build Your Journey

_______

Combine Angama Mara with East Africa

Angama Mara works exceptionally well as part of a wider luxury East African itinerary. A carefully designed journey can combine the Maasai Mara with Nairobi, Amboseli, Samburu, Tanzania's Serengeti and Ngorongoro, or Uganda's gorilla and chimpanzee destinations.

Why Ababa Uganda Safaris

_______

Plan Angama Mara with Local Safari Expertise

Ababa Uganda Safaris designs tailor-made East African journeys around the traveller rather than selling a fixed package. We coordinate accommodation, flights, private vehicles, guides, park logistics and multi-country connections to create a seamless safari.

Highly recommended We had a wonderful experience with Jonathan. He welcomed us at the airport and took great care of us from the moment we arrived until the end of our trip. The selection of hotels was impeccable, and the route he designed was perfectly planned. Jonathan is extremely knowledgeable about wildlife and went the extra mile to make sure we saw lions and all of the Big Five during our visit to Queen Elizabeth National Park. He was always attentive, patient, and eager to make our experience unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide — highly recommended!

Exceptional experience, enriching and truly unforgettable. From the moment we landed we received a warm welcome. Jonathan was friendly and readily available to answer any queries throughout our trip. He was incredibly accommodating with our requests to visit schools, residences ensuring that we achieved everything we wanted from the trip. We had a great time with Jonathan and driver Isaac. Jonathan was very funny and very knowledgeable he became part of the family and the time just flew whilst we were there, we felt safe at all times. The food at each venue catered for all our needs. Definitely leant a lot on this trip. Just need to be aware that food ordered in restaurants do take a long time as they make it from scratch so if pushed for time might be advisable to pre order. We had unforgettable holiday and this company went above and beyond to make every moment special. I would recommend them to anyone.

Great service from this local company We done a road trip across East Africa from Uganda to Tanzania. Jonathan and his team facilitated our trip across Uganda and Kenya which proved to be a very enjoyable experience. Guided knowledge provided by Jonathan was excellent as was his humor and wit. We always felt safe and informed, he managed the journey very well indeed. We would definitely use Jonathan's services again.

Magical Uganda Safari Journey – February 2025! I had an unforgettable experience with Ababa Uganda Safaris! From the moment I arrived, everything was well-organized, and the team was incredibly friendly and professional. The tour guides were knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about the wildlife and culture. Seeing gorillas up close in Bwindi and exploring Queen Elizabeth National Park was a dream come true. The accommodations were comfortable, and every detail was taken care of. I truly felt immersed in Uganda’s beauty without any stress. If you're planning a trip to Uganda, I highly recommend Ababa Uganda Safaris for a seamless and memorable adventure!

.gorilla trek Our KQ flight was horribly delayed. From 2.30 pm to arriving @ almost 3 am the following day. Jonathan kindly arranged for airport pick at this early hour of day and even rescheduled our departure for bwindi so we could get some rest. That was very accommodating.the drive to bwindi was a long drive -11 hrs- n he informed hotel of our late arrival. The lodge he chose for us was good and comfortable. However the vehicle for transporti g us could be better as it was quite hot without air conditioning. Gorilla trek was good but tough. Overall Ababa safaris were very accommodating. I wouldrecommend them. The hotel in Kampala- Speke hotel leaves a lot to be desired

Such a wonderful experience!! My family and I contacted Jonathan to help us plan our first Murchison Falls safari. Jonathan arranged our transport from Kampala, with a stop at Ziwa Rhino sanctuary and guided game drives through Murchison falls. Ronnie, our professional driver and guide, was very knowledgeable and paid close attention to details to make us comfortable. He met with us a day before takeoff to answer any outstanding questions and recommended a time for us to set off to avoid any traffic. His experience made our trip even more enjoyable because we knew what to expect for entry fees into the park, where to stop to use clean washrooms, eat good food, and also what side of the boat cruise to sit on for the best views! We saw lions, elephants, giraffes, job, rhinos, buffaloes and many other animals. We would definitely go with them for our next safari in Uganda! They had great communication, value for money, professionalism, knowledge of the industry and were very reliable.

A must-hire company! Punctual, professional, great communication. We used Ababa Safaris for a trip from Kampala to Murchison Falls National Park. I would HIGHLY recommend! Our driver picked us up in a large safari vehicle with a pop up roof. The driver was very punctual and had excellent communication while preparing for the trip and during the trip. Ronnie took us to a nice restaurant for a rest stop that had clean bathrooms and good food. He was friendly with many people we met along the way at the Rhino Sanctuary, on the safari trails, and at our chosen lodging. It felt as though he had good connections with people, which we took as a good sign. Ronnie was very knowledgeable about the best places to see the animals and gave us a great safari experience. As the person in the family who does much of the planning, it was a very enjoyable experience to hand all of that over to Ababa and really get to enjoy myself.

Animals and beautiful nature in Uganda and Rwanda From being picked-up from Entebbe airport in the middle of the night until the drop-off eleven days later in Kigali it was a perfect tour. Jonathan, our guide, and the driver Moses was a perfect team - very friendly, knowledgable and always in time. We visited Entebbe for a tour through the botanical gardens and the zoo, did safaris and boat trips in Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth NP and did trekkings to the chimpazees in Kibale and to the mountain gorillas in Rwanda. The primates are a must visit when you travel to this region. It's expensive but worth every dollar. The safari parks are of course not as rich in animals as for example the Masai Mara. But they are much cheaper, there are much lesser tourists and nevertheless it doesn't become boring regarding animal sightings. We saw a lot of different antelopes, beautiful giraffes, lions, many elephants, buffalos, a lot of hippos and crocodiles and much more. The choice of hotels was very good, simple and cheap where there was only a short overnight stay and a bit more expensive where it was worth to spend the money for staying close to the places of interest, e.g. close to the starting point for primate trekkings or in the middle of QENP and Murchison NP for not loosing game-drive-time.
