Mara Sopa

Mara Sopa Lodge is one of the most scenic and naturally secluded safari lodges in the Masai Mara, beautifully tucked into the Oloolaimutia Hills on the eastern edge of the reserve. It’s the kind of place where you feel like you’ve stepped straight into the wild — surrounded by indigenous forest, birdsong, and sweeping views of the endless savannah below.

Location & Setting

Built on elevated hills, offering panoramic views across the Mara plains
Hidden within lush gardens and mature trees, giving it a cool, peaceful atmosphere
Wildlife often wanders near the lodge — monkeys, antelope, and birds are common visitors
About 20–30 minutes’ drive to main game drive areas
It feels more private and natural compared to lodges on the open plains.

Architecture & Design
Unique round, traditional African-style cottages (manyattas)
Stone walls + thatched roofs blend into the environment
Pathways wind through landscaped gardens and flowering plants
Very “authentic safari lodge” vibe rather than modern hotel style
It has that classic old-school safari charm people love.
