About Angama Mara
Two glass-fronted lodges suspended on the escarpment rim, 300 metres above the Triangle — many call the view from bed the finest in Africa. Out of Africa’s kopje picnic scene was filmed just below.
The area: Oloololo Escarpment & Mara West
The dramatic 300-metre rift wall that closes the Mara Triangle’s western edge. Lodges along its rim and foot look over the entire Triangle — the single best view in the ecosystem.
What it's like
Sunrise over the whole Mara from your bed, quick access to the quiet Triangle, and superb balloon country. A small cluster of camps ranges from ultra-luxury to solid value.
Getting there & fees
Kichwa Tembo or Mara Serena airstrips, or a long (6-hour) scenic drive from Narok around the reserve.
