Amazing 8 days. The Lodge and Camp provide luxury experience but each has its own unique elements. Service was fantastic. Highly recommend Jeremy as a guide.
Holiday of a lifetime, unreal everything, guides, waitresses, food, location, service, etc. People there could not do enough to make you at home.
MAGNIFICENT LODGE IN MAASAI MARA KENYA!
---When we entered the lodge and saw that endless view of the Massai Mara we were speechless! The beauty is beyond belief!
---Perched on the edge of the cliff our Tented Suite had floor to ceiling glass to maximize the gorgeous views. There is a huge outdoor deck, sitting area, large desk, soaking tub and shower that all face the views.
----We stayed here for 4 nights on our African Adventure of 6 ½ weeks, and it was one of our favorite lodges.
----What makes it so special is all the fabulous experiences that are all included in your stay.
----Make sure you read in advance on the website all the activities that are available and tell your guide when you get there and he will help you space out all the things to do on the days you have there.
----Activities that we loved:
----THE SHAMBA is Angama Mara’s one-acre lovely kitchen garden followed by lunch overlooking the Mara. William gave us a basket to pick out our lettuces and vegetables straight from the garden and then served us an outstanding lunch. Thank you William you were so wonderful.
----OUT OF AFRICA PICNIC overlooking the Mara where Out of Africa was filmed. We climbed up a mountain to get there. All laid out on the large rocks where we sat were checked blankets, cushions, a picnic and sparkling champagne. Our waiter Joshua was there serving us. It truly was special.
---Visit a Maasai Village which was a highlight! This is something not to be missed. You will learn all about their culture and customs, go inside a hut where they live, a fire making demonstration and dancing and singing. At the end the women set up their crafts, jewelry etc. they make- that were all reasonably priced.
---There is also hot air balloon rides but you have to get up at 4:30 a.m.- but that was too early for me! But we met people that went and loved it.
---All of the guests at the lodge will also participate in a Boma in a special location the early evening before dinner. They set up tables and chairs in a circular setting by candlelight and have an open bar and delicious hors d'oeuvres and snacks. Then a large group of Maasai warriors perform with singing, dancing and jumping! It was a magnificent event.
----There was also a Forest BBQ by candlelight about 10 minutes from the main lodge. Guests dine family style and the food was delicious. That was also a fabulous event.
----Don’t miss the fantastic gift shop where Maasai women are beading jewelry. The gift shop is very large with many high quality items to purchase.
----The game drives were fantastic! Robert was a passionate guide and an amazing person. We saw so many animals including lions (male and female), giraffes, zebras, elephants, etc and hippopotamus and crocodiles by the river. Robert taught us so much about all the animals we saw.
----Joshua our butler/waiter was wonderful. Thank you for the outstanding service you provided to us. You were always so attentive. And you always had my iced tea ready at every meal.
----Thank you to Roy our outstanding Housekeeper. Our Suite always looked perfect. We appreciated all you did for us.
----You are allowed to invite your guide to dinner and we also included our Housekeeper Roy too one evening. The lodge set up a wonderful table in the library for us. Sam Bailyn an intern at the lodge who we loved also joined us. We miss you Sam, Roy, Joshua and Robert! It was a marvelous dinner sharing with all of you!
---Azei the General Manager is engaging and knows how to run a fabulous lodge.
----Josephat – the Camp Manager was always present and was so lovely to us.
----Thank you also to Triza- who would help me climb in and out of the safari truck every time and up the mountain for the Out of Africa Picnic. You were so much fun! Sadera ( Head of Butlers), Evans (Chef) who prepared delicious food and Patrick ( who gave us a tour of the Map Room and led the Fabulous Boma).
----As we left the lodge all the staff that took care of us gave us an emotional goodbye. We will have lasting memories of our magnificent stay at Angama Mara.

Go here. Not anywhere else in the Mara.
My husband and I chose Angama Mara for our safari honeymoon in late July, based on a recommendation from Niarra Travel. We were utterly impressed by the exceptional care, warm hospitality, and outstanding experiences offered at Angama.
The design is impeccable, programs so thoughtful, food fantastic, and the staff exceptional. They have a bed warmer and they turn that on for you during the turn down service 🤯. So great. The coordination between your schedules like game drives, meals, picnics, nature walks etc is masterful.
The genuine care and love of the staff speak volumes about the leadership and organization. We left Kenya astounded by the incredible experience provided by the entire Angama team!

We loved our time at Angama. We had our honeymoon there and we couldn’t have been happier. It exceeded all our expectations. Special thank to Tito, James, Wiki, Odidi, Sammy and Tess who made our trip even more special. Overall all the staff were extremely friendly and helpful and it was the perfect place to stay to explore the Masai Mara. We definitely will be back.
Our stay in Angama Mara was wonderful! My partner has been to several national parks across multiple African countries and said that this is the best lodge he's been to. The lodge is beautifully located and packed with many activities so you will never run out of things to do. The service and staff were also impeccable. I mean.. who could say no to unlimited champagne and Grey Goose? 😀
We want to give a special shout-out to our butler George, who has been phenomenal! Our experience wouldn't have been as great if it wasn't for him. He was so helpful, attentive, and kind throughout our stay! He helped us plan all our activities so smoothly since we arrived and he makes the best cocktails. 😉 If the Angama Mara team sees this, this guy deserves a promotion.
Also a big thank you to Sam from the photography studio. It was our first time renting cameras for wildlife photography and we encourage everyone to do so. It adds a unique "depth" to your safari experience when you see the animals up close. Sam taught us how to use the cameras, gave us photography tips, and even edited our photos at the end of the day. He's the coolest!

Staying at Angama was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. The luxury accommodations and stunning location were only part of why it was so great here. The staff is what really sets Angama apart. The experience and kindness of our guide Moses was fantastic. Photographer Robert captured the essence of this amazing journey. The photography tips I will take with me will last a lifetime. Adlight was intuitive and knew how to make our stay even more enjoyable. Angama provided such a unique experience that will remain in my heart and memories.
