Samburu Sopa Lodge

Samburu Sopa Lodge is set on elevated ground inside Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya. Its position gives broad views across the dry-country landscape, while the lodge’s public areas look toward a waterhole that can attract wildlife. The architecture and decorative approach draw on local Samburu influences, giving the property a strong sense of place without moving into the small-camp luxury category.

The lodge reports 60 rooms. Guest cottages provide spacious rooms with two queen beds, en-suite bathrooms and open-air verandas overlooking the waterhole and surrounding landscape. The published inventory also includes interconnecting wheelchair-accessible accommodation, making the lodge suitable for families and travellers who need accessible room options.

Facilities include a swimming pool and children’s pool, restaurant and bars, outdoor dining, gift shop, lounge WiFi, bird watching, nature walks and sundowners. Samburu Sopa has also developed an astro-tourism programme with guided stargazing and a manyatta-inspired planetarium, adding a distinctive evening experience after daytime game drives.

Samburu works especially well in northern Kenya circuits that continue toward Ol Pejeta, Mount Kenya or the Rift Valley.
