Located high on the slopes of the Oloolaimutia Hills, Mara Sopa Lodge was one of the first safari lodges to be built in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, a reason why its gardens and trees are so lush and mature. All the buildings follow the design of traditional African roundhouses, with conical roofs, and these stretch along the line of the hills with the impressively large public area buildings and the swimming pool at their centre. The lodge has fifty guest cottages divided into two wings to either side of the main public areas. Each of these houses has two spacious guest rooms with queen and king size beds; mosquito nets; electronic safes; dressing tables; en-suite bathrooms and sheltered verandas that all have views over the gardens and the game reserve beyond.
