Thanks to expanded air service, visiting the newly opened Angama Mara luxury safari lodge in Kenya’s celebrated Maasai Mara is easier than ever.
Opened to guests in June and perched high above the floor of the Great Rift Valley, Angama Mara offers stunning views across the Maasai Mara, one of Africa’s most beautiful game reserves. The lodge comprises two intimate camps, each with 15 tented guest suites set along the edge of the Oloololo Escarpment for a private, immersive safari experience.
Travelers can reach the property via daily flights to Angama Mara’s private airstrip operated by local carriers from Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. Morning and afternoon connections are available through AirKenya, Safarilink and Governors Air, making transfers convenient and well-timed for arrivals.
Air access into Nairobi has recently improved with the return of direct service from Lufthansa. The German carrier resumed flights to Nairobi after an 18-year hiatus, operating non-stop service three times weekly between Frankfurt and Nairobi. In addition, travelers from the United States and other regions can fly to Nairobi with carriers such as Kenya Airways, South African Airways, British Airways, KLM, Emirates and Qatar Airways, providing multiple routing options and convenient international connections.
At the lodge, guests enjoy more than wildlife viewing. Facilities include a fitness center and a 40-foot swimming pool, plus a curated gallery showcasing African art. A bright studio on the property supports local Maasai women who bead and craft distinctive items, offering guests a chance to observe traditional techniques and purchase authentic, handcrafted souvenirs.
With improved flight options and thoughtful on-site amenities, Angama Mara combines dramatic scenery, refined safari comforts and easier access for travelers seeking an unforgettable visit to the Maasai Mara.
