Mara Sopa Lodge
The lodge is set in the Oloolaimutia Valley and
built into the surrounding hillside landscape. The accent around the lodge is
on the indigenous Masai people and the fabulous wealth of wildlife, birdlife
and natural flora seen in every direction. The lodge is luxuriously appointed
with all the mod cons one would expect from a Sopa styled lodge in the bush.
The bedrooms are spacious, the large pool has wonderful views and there’s
evening wildlife films and CNN to enjoy during the down-time. All this ensures
that your stay will be blissfully comfortable.
Today will be spent exploring
the vast plains of the Masai Mara, starting early with a game drive before
breakfast, and returning to the lodge for meals. This reserve is an extension
of the Serengeti ecosystem to the south. Game abounds here, particularly when
the migration is on, and millions of wildebeests and zebras make their way back
and forth across the Mara River on their annual trek. The Mara is also noted
for its abundance of lions - particularly the superb black manned males. You'll
see lots of elephants here often in large herds, as well as, if you're lucky,
leopard, cheetah and rhino. All of the Big Five are residents. You're sure to
see the African buffalo. The huge expanse of grassland covers 320 sq km and is
dotted with distinctive flat-topped acacia trees are watered by two rivers,
Mara River and Talek River. It is also home to the nomadic Maasai people, who
can be see grazing their cattle, usually brightly dressed in red chequered
capes. Get the cameras ready, stock up on film and enjoy yourselves!
