We have just returned from our Kenyan safari and had the pleasure of spending two nights at the Mara Sopa Lodgewhich is discreetly tucked away on a hillside. The accommodation (comprised of semi detached lodges) was very good with beds made in the morning and sheets turned down and mosi nets put in place in the evening. Being vegetarian, we... more

Due to the recent troubles, we were some of the first visitors to tour... more

We went to Kenya and Zanzibar for our honeymoon with Virgin Holidays. We did a 6 day 'Taste of Kenya' safari and then transferred to Zanzibar for a week on the beach. Virgin Holidays were pretty terrible in terms of pre-trip customer service. However the holiday itself was fabulous. Throughout the safari we stayed at Sopa Lodges. First we went... more

Stayed at the Sopa for 2 nights in July -07. Arrived for lunch one day, left after breakfast the third day. The lodge is OK, with a local touch to the architecture, great views over the valley and plains and a nice pool area. I found the lodge a bit too big, with a really huge dining area and some... more
