Angama Mara
Escarpment lodge with glass-fronted tented suites · Oloololo Escarpment above the Mara Triangle · Angama
Top-end
Outside the gate
Owner-run
Angama Mara stands on the Oloololo Escarpment 1,000 feet above the plains, on a 700-hectare site that borders the Mara Triangle, with a private road ten minutes to the reserve entrance. It is outside the reserve, which is why walks on the escarpment are possible and why the reserve ticket is charged separately. Founder-run, it has 30 glass-fronted tented suites in two camps of 15, a beading studio with Maasai women and the Out of Africa filming site nearby. The rate starts at $1,775 per guest a night, fully inclusive except park fees and a Foundation levy. Choose it for the view and drives in the quieter Triangle; skip it if you want to sleep on the plains.

What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Masai Mara National Reserve charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entryThe non-resident rate from 1 July to 31 December; $100 from 1 January to 30 June.
- $200per person, per day
- VehicleKSh 1,000 a day for a car under six seats, about $8 at KSh 129 to the dollar.
- $8per vehicle, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $1224 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.
The figure above uses the July to December rate. From January to June the same sum halves for the people. A day is 06:00 to 18:00, and guests in the conservancies outside the reserve pay only on the days they drive in.
The full fee schedule for Masai Mara National ReserveRates at Angama Mara
From $1,775 pppn. Angama's own rate page, read through a Wayback Machine capture of 5 January 2026 because the live site blocks automated reading: 'From USD $1,775 PPPN', fully inclusive and always priced per guest per night by season. Angama's 2025 offer line excluded the reserve fees and the Angama Foundation contribution; its 2027 group sheet quotes park fees at the time of enquiry and adds $20 per guest per night for the Foundation. Budget $100 or $200 per adult per day for the reserve ticket.
All inclusive. The rate covers meals, drinks, activities and the transfers named below. Park fees are charged separately.
Every figure on this page is in US dollars.
Rates checked on 6 October 2026 against each operator's own website or 2026 rate sheet, in US dollars per person per night sharing unless the entry says otherwise. One figure is a reseller's, not the owner's: Olonana Lodge's $2,450 (safari.com, 6 Oct 2026), because A&K's own page would not load. Angama's rates come from a January 2026 copy of its site, since the live site blocks automated reading. On top of nearly every rate sits Narok County's reserve ticket: $100 per non-resident adult per 12-hour day (6 am to 6 pm) from January to June and $200 from July to December, $50 for a child of 9 to 17, free at 8 and under. Conservancy camps add their own nightly fee, $130 per adult in Mara North, Olare Motorogi and Naboisho in 2026 and $116 in Mara Siana, unless the entry says it is included.
