About Mara Engai Wilderness Lodge

Big canvas suites along the escarpment rim, waterfalls of bougainvillea and the Triangle spread 300 metres below the private decks.

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.

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.

Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp

&Beyond’s 40-tent classic on a private concession at the escarpment’s foot, where the Sabaringo stream draws game through camp and the Triangle starts at the gate.
