The lodges
Angama Mara Lodges are located in the Great Rift Valley upon the plains, and in mid-air are suspended 30 luxurious lodges upon the Maasai Mara 300 meters below. These are separated in two camps with local and spacious architecture.
The huge 11m wide-floor to ceiling windows in each suite will let you admire the plain and the different animals as you are lying in your bed, resting in your couch or even having a bath. The great wooden terraces are true resting places where you can have dinner or simply rest while observing the sunset and the nature. There are 100 sq.m of living spaces and there is also a library and a bar waiting for you, among a lot of entertaining technologies.
Despite all this luxury, the true beauty of Angama Mara Lodges stands in its unforgettable adventures.
