Flights to Angama: land at the edge of the Mara
Angama Mara sits high on the escarpment overlooking the Mara Triangle and has its own private airfield. FlyAirVan lists Angama among its Maasai Mara destinations.
About the Angama airfield
Angama Mara is a luxury safari lodge on the Oloololo escarpment, with sweeping views over the Mara Triangle. The lodge has a private airfield, so guests can land close to the property instead of flying into a reserve airstrip and driving up the escarpment.
When you enquire about flights to Angama, make sure you mean Angama Mara. Private-airfield access is arranged with the property, so ask reservations to confirm the service and access for your dates.
Who should fly to Angama?
The Angama airfield is intended for guests of Angama Mara. If you are staying elsewhere on the escarpment or in the Triangle, don't pick it because a map suggests it's close. Ask your own lodge which airstrip it uses; for most Mara Triangle camps that is Mara Serena.

Planning your Angama stay
Angama Mara sits on the escarpment above the reserve, so game drives descend into the Mara Triangle below. Mornings at altitude can be cool, so pack warm layers in your soft bag. Because the views are part of the experience, many guests arrive on an early flight to spend the afternoon at the lodge before their first drive.
For honeymoons, family celebrations and photography trips, a private charter direct to the Angama airfield gives the most flexibility on timing. Ask for a quote that includes the return flight and any waiting or positioning charges, and confirm baggage weights in advance.
- Confirm the airfield and arrival details with Angama Mara before paying for flights.
- Tell reservations about any heavy camera equipment.
- Book early for July–October and holiday dates.
