Angama Mara

Angama Mara is a safari lodge in the Maasai Mara in Kenya. It is located on the site where several scenes of Sydney Pollack's Out of Africa (1985) were filmed.[1] It has supporting offices in Nairobi & Johannesburg.

The lodge was developed by Steve and Nicky Fitzgerald and opened in June 2015.[2] In 2018, it was listed in Condé Nast Traveler as the #1 resort in Africa.[3]

In the Kiswahili language, "angama" means "suspended in mid-air"; the name refers to the lodge's location 300 metres (980 ft) above the floor of the Maasai Mara.[4]
