Overview
Samburu views
Samburu Sopa Lodge sits on high ground with panoramic views of the vastness of Samburu National Reserve’s shrub land and the hills beyond stretching out into Northern Kenya beyond.
30 cottages, each with two bedrooms are built in an arch formation on either side of the shared areas – the bar, restaurant and swimming pool – to surround the waterhole but leaving a wide gap to allow the animals free movement to the water. Thick thatch and wood reflect the architectural heritage of the local community who make up most of the team here.
Activities to be booked from here include game drives, guided nature walks, bird watching and dining experiences at scenic lookouts in the bush.
