Your next stop will take you to the renowned Giraffe Centre, where you will be given a rare opportunity to get up close to these gentle giants in this natural sanctuary, which was founded by Jock Leslie-Melville, the Kenyan grandson of a Scottish earl, to protect the endangered Rothschild giraffe.

At Angama Mara, you have many choices of how to spend your day. Sunrise hot-air balloon safaris, photographing Africa’s abundant wildlife, and walking on the edge of the Great Rift Valley are just some of the options available.  As a nod to the romantic tale that was filmed on the very same site as the lodge is located, intimate picnics are offered on the crest of the Out of Africa kopje that is featured on the movie’s poster. At sunset, follow the sound of the rhythmic chanting of the Massai warriors to the sundowner boma, where a cocktail, delicious bitings, and a sunset performance awaits
