Mara Sopa Lodge

The Mara Sopa Lodge is set in the Oloolaimutia valley within the Ngama Hills and on the edge of the Masai Mara National Reserve. The Mara Sopa has been sympathetically built in traditional Maasai style and its location provides ample opportunity for game viewing within the park, which is only a short drive away. The forested slopes of the Ngama Hills provides one of the more likely places to view the Mara’s 20 or so black rhino as well as offering some great elephant sightings on the fringes of the forest.
 
The lodge has 90 rooms, all of which are 'rondavel' (round huts) style and have en-suite bathroom.  Every room has a private, elevated verandah on which guests can relax and enjoy the views.  Mini-bars are also available in each room along with 24 hour electricity.
 
As is to be expected at a large lodge there are a wide range of facilities available including direct-dial telephone facilities as well as satellite television, the lodge has a freeform, fresh-water pool, which offers spectacular views over the valley and the guest shop stocks a wide selection of curios and gift items. The lodge welcomes children of all ages and can provide both special meals at convenient times and baby sitters on request.
 
Activities available through reception include balloon safaris offering guests the opportunity to view the Masai Mara plains as the sun rises. Guests can also visit Maasai manyattas to learn about the Maasai way of life. Alternative activities include walking safaris, bush breakfasts and sundowner cocktail parties.
