Welcome to the
Throughout time, the haunting images of East Africa’s myriad landscapes have captured the hearts and souls of most discerning travellers. Perhaps one of the few places left on earth where adventure still awaits, this evocative land of rolling savannas, dense forests, mighty mountains, rivers, lakes and unparalleled wildlife provides a unique backdrop for a truly memorable experience.
Set in one hundred and fifty acres of grassland studded with Acacia bushes and trees, the resort is not only home to our resident giraffe, waterbuck and both Vervet and Colobus monkeys, but it is also a night stop for the hippos when they leave the lake every night to come and trim the grass on our expansive lawns.
Masai Mara Sopa Lodge is 250kms from Nairobi (4 hrs), 105kms from Narok (2 hrs), and 220kms from Naivasha (4 hrs). While we are located barely a kilometer outside the reserve, it is still necessary to enter the wildlife conservation through either the Oloolaimutia or Sekenani entrance gates.
The flying time from Nairobi to the nearest airstrip is about an hour, and from there it is a 30 minute game drive to the lodge.
Located 250kms from Nairobi on a paved road except for the last 4kms of all-weather murram, the journey takes between 3 and 4 hours. Flying from Nairobi takes approximately 40 minutes, and it is an hour’s transfer time from the airstrip to the lodge.
