An extraordinary new safari lodge balanced on the edge of Africa’s Great Rift Valley, where the sky melts into the endless plains in a panorama so wide it takes your breath away. Where the romance of canvas combines with dramatic guest areas, this is a fresh approach to safari lodge design.
This beautiful piece of land overlooks what many safari travellers consider the loveliest game reserve on the continent, Kenya’s Maasai Maras. Guests are accommodated in spacious Tented Suites, which have been designed for guests comfort and are reminiscent of a classical African safari, each with a view more lovely than the last.
Every detail has been considered; end-to-end glass frontage, sweeping canvas, decks overhanging the Mara, and inside polished parquet floors and just the right amount of furniture.
The lodge consists of two totally separate and intimate camps, each with a guest area sitting atop one of the kopjes. Inspired by the old-world atmosphere of Nairobi’s famous Muthaiga Club, guests can dine, read, relax, and enjoy a drink in a place where indoors and outdoors merge into one, all the while enjoying the view below. The architecture is filled with drama, and the red brickwork is inspired by local Maasai technique.
The Masai Mara never fails to deliver, with plenty of game to spot, including lion prides, solitary leopards, the rare black rhino and wandering elephant herds.
Spend an afternoon watching the wildlife from the comfort your deck as you have a prime viewing position 300 metres above the plains.
Have your marriage blessed or your vows renewed at a sunset celebration where you will be presented with traditional Maasai gifts.
Feel like Meryl Streep in Out of Africa as you eat a private African brunch atop Angama's kopje where the movie was filmed.
Rise before the sun to float gently over the Masai Mara in a hot air balloon, attracting the gaze of the animals on the plains below.
Explore the plains on foot as you walk through the Masai Mara wilderness with a Maasai naturalist who will guide you along the way.
If you want to learn techniques to capture the perfect moment or test out new cameras and lenses, Angama's wildlife photographer is there to help
Experience Maasai culture as you watch and join warriors perform a dance in a traditional brush-packed boma, or try your hand at Maasai beading.

I went on an adventure of a lifetime to Kenya, planned by True Travel. Borana was the perfect introduction to Africa – the staff were fantastic, the lodge very comfortable and I had amazing wildlife sightings. Then the helicopter flight and night out with Andrew (the real Crocodile Dundee) was an experience of a lifetime; we went scorpion hunting, crocodile catching, swimming in lakes and flew over flamingos. All in all, everything was fantastically planned and the service was brilliant. I’m looking forward to the next adventure!
