Located high on the slopes of the Oloolaimutia Hills, Masai Mara Sopa lodge was one of the first 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 round houses 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 center. Guests are drawn to the ethnic design of this lodge which itself is surrounded by a landscape rich in flora, from wild olive, bitter aloe vera, croton, and Mexican trees. The lodge has 50 round buildings each with two rooms. Eight of the 50 cottages have interconnecting rooms. The honeymoon suite is situated at the top of the property providing an uninterrupted view. This very spacious suite has a king-size bed, a shower and a sunken bath, and a spacious verandah perfect to watch the sunset or enjoy private meals. There are 12 suites at the lodge each with a large living area, spacious bedroom with either one king-size bed or two queen-size beds, mosquito nets, ensuite bathroom with shower, coffee table with chairs, and a mini-bar on request. The standard rooms equally have a choice of one king-size bed or two queen-size beds with mosquito nets and ensuite bathrooms. The circular dining room has a centrally located fireplace with an extremely high chimney. Its walls are painted with pastel colors to match those of the simply exquisite, natural-stone framed paintings of everyday Maasai life, and its separated, generously sized buffet tables offer garden fresh salads, succulent main courses, live cooking areas, an extravagant choice of deserts and a wide selection of cheeses. The dining room also has an outdoor timber deck should you wish to enjoy your meal beneath umbrella-shaded tables.
