Angama Mara: Two glass-fronted camps on the Oloololo Escarpment — lock the family suite, the private vehicle, and what the rate actually includes.

Angama Mara sits on the Oloololo Escarpment a thousand feet above the Maasai Mara, on a 700-hectare site that borders the Mara Triangle with 1.2 kilometres of Rift Valley frontage. The name is from the Swahili for suspended in mid-air. Silvio Rech and Lesley Carstens designed it; Annemarie Meintjes did the interiors. The house does not print an opening year. Two identical but completely separate camps hold 15 en-suite tented suites each — 30 in all. Suites span over 100 square metres including the deck, with 11-metre floor-to-ceiling glass. The house does not name the camps Camp One or Camp Two. One camp sits on the Out of Africa kopje.

Lock the family rules on night one. The lodge and rates pages welcome children of all ages year round. A 2022 house fact sheet still says children aged 6 and over only — confirm with camp before you fly with anyone under 6. Children 12 and under must share a triple unless you book an extra tented suite at the Family Stay rate. Each camp has two sets of two interconnected suites — eight across the property — sleeping up to two adults and four children per set, with an enclosed passageway. Families with children 0–6 must reserve a private safari vehicle when booking fewer than three tented suites. Complimentary childminding prints 18h00 to 22h00. Check-in is 12pm; check-out is 10am, with a change room for late departures. Patty’s Tent is the accessible suite: grab rails, ramps, and clear paths to the guest area and vehicle drop-off.

Dining has no clock hours. The food page is à la carte, no buffet, with settings in the Guest Area, Pavilion, Library, baraza, tent deck, lantern-lit forest, Shamba, Sundowner Boma, and the Out of Africa kopje. Forest BBQ is a few minutes’ drive from the lodge. Out of Africa Picnic is for two, maximum four, with a guide. A stand-alone kosher kitchen plates for up to 12. Spa treatments run throughout the day in the tent or on the deck — no spa building hours. The hub prints a 12-metre rim-flow pool and a Technogym fitness room. Kenya is classified as a malaria area.

The tented-suites card prints what the rate includes: guided safaris into the Mara Triangle, guided walking safaris on the escarpment, all meals and drinks, laundry, WiFi, on-property guest experiences, and child-minding. Extra: park fees, the Angama Foundation contribution, French Champagne and reserve wines, community visits, hot-air balloon safaris, gratuities, Safari Shop purchases, and in-tent massages. Transfer is a short 45-minute flight from Nairobi — scheduled from Wilson or charter from Jomo Kenyatta. The lodge page names Angama’s airfield and a 10-minute private road to the reserve entrance. The rates page includes transfers to and from Kichwa Tembo Airstrip. Confirm which strip you land on. Book Angama if you want the glass view, Triangle access, and a full-board tent. Skip it if you wanted a classic fly-camp without glass, if you will not book the private vehicle for under-sixes on a small booking, or if you expected restaurant hours and a second dining room.
