Nestled high above the wildlife-rich plains on three of the Maasai Mara’s renowned rocky outcrops, called kopjes, Angama Mara offers stunning vistas and meticulously curated safari adventures. These kopjes, one of which was a filming location for scenes in “Out of Africa,” create a profound sense of return, evoking the feeling of coming home.
Angama Mara, accessible via its own airstrip, comprises two distinct luxury camps, each with only 15 tents that provide commanding views of the plains below. The Pavilion, centrally located between the camps, features an infinity pool, a gift shop, Wi-Fi, a library, a well-appointed fitness room, and a spacious deck. From this vantage point, guests can savor the Mara’s dramatic sunrises, sunsets, and ever-changing landscapes—all just a short 10-minute walk from any tent in either camp.

Angama Mara’s tented luxury suites capture the natural elegance and quiet beauty of the Maasai Mara. Each suite, spanning over 320 square feet, features a nearly 40-foot-wide floor-to-ceiling glass front, gleaming parquet floors, exquisite interior decor, Wi-Fi, and a charming collection of African-themed books. Guests can enjoy expansive views from the bed, bath, sitting area, and the open-to-infinity deck, where private meals can be served.
As we like to say, these are tents in the same sense that the Empire State Building is just an office building. The King of Canvas has truly outdone himself at Angama Mara, crafting luxurious and imaginative dwellings that honor the finest safari traditions.
Game viewing in the Maasai-Mara, the more verdant northern segment of the vast Serengeti-Maasai Mara ecosystem, is as rewarding as game viewing gets on planet Earth. The great cyclical migration of millions of herbivores and their carnivore predators occurs throughout the year, peaking in July through November. But the mass movement is relatively constant, and the fabled Big Five (elephant, leopard, Cape Buffalo, lion, and dinasauric rhino) are always in residence. Our safari game drives are designed for flexibility (of time, game locations, and your naturalist predilections) and our Micato Safari Director, who knows the Mara intimately, is always ready to honour our preferences.
Micato’s half-century-plus in the safari business has taught us that people come to Africa see its animals, but leave in love with its people. Angama Mara is well staffed with local Maasai, from naturalists and bakers to the camp manager himself; every evening at sunset Maasai warriors (or moran) visit the lodge to perform their dramatic dances, and in the craft studio guests can take a well-tutored crack at traditional crafts, jazzing up their safari jackets or sweaters, say, with classic Maasai beads. And when we visit a local manyatta, or village, our Safari Director is greeted as a familiar elder, and we are welcomed as interesting new friends.

Lolkisale Camp is a luxury boutique tented camp located in the heart of Tarangire National Park. Its strategic position on the edge of a wetland makes it an exceptional spot for wildlife viewing year-round, as the nearby Tarangire River attracts a huge concentration of animals, particularly during the dry season. The camp is an excellent choice for travelers who want to be deeply immersed in the park’s vibrant ecosystem.
The camp offers an intimate and authentic safari experience with a limited number of custom-designed tents, typically eight. Each tent is spacious and provides a private verandah, a comfortable sitting area, and an en-suite bathroom equipped with a flush toilet and a traditional safari bucket shower. This setup ensures guests have all the necessary comforts while still feeling connected to the surrounding wilderness.
Lolkisale Camp provides a variety of activities to fully explore Tarangire’s rich biodiversity. Guests can go on both day and night game drives, which are great for spotting nocturnal animals. For a more personal and thrilling encounter, guided walking safaris are also offered. The camp’s location is ideal for witnessing Tarangire’s renowned elephant herds, as well as predators like lions, leopards, and cheetahs, and vast herds of buffalo, all of which contribute to an unforgettable safari adventure.
