This was a great holiday spot as you are one with nature. I walked past a water buck and came close (5 meters) to 2 giraffes. It was awesome! Too bad i didnt see any hippos though we were warned that they roam at night! The kids loved it, with plenty of activities for them: swimming, swings, horse riding, nature... More

Also saw hippos... More

Visited here in February 2012. Hotel is modern and rooms are well appointed. We stayed on 2nd floor and were surprised on arrival to find a Giraffe eating flowers off our balcony. By the time I got the camera out he was moving away so i missed a great pix. Downside is the walk from the lobby to your room.... More

I chose Sopa for its lovely rooms,living room area (with huge comfy sofas and a fire) ,proximity to wild life and its pool.had a fab time here..*sigh*..if only i could live there forever...met friends from Nairobi..about 4 other couples..the only complain was the food..too basic, bland/super rip your tongue out hot, repetitive and predictive.

This is a large lodge with a buffet style of restaurant. I have to say that reading the reviews you probably will already have a good view on this place. If you are unlucky enough and 50% will be you will have a long walk to your bedroom. We had an elderly gentleman in our group and the request fornhim... More

The serene wildlife environment in which this resort is located was perfect for the weekend getaway for 2. There were water bucks running free, giraffes under the balcony, monkeys under foot, buffalo, warthogs and the ill-tempered nocturnal hippo who would only graze outside our bedroom door. When we arrived, there were enough warnings about this particular hippo which we thought... More

Certainly, the largest room we had for the week (stayed in 5 different places). We got in at night and stayed for a day so didn't get a feel for the amenities. Food was on par with all the other places, attentive staff. Cool to see the animals from the patio. Guides escort you to/from dining at night because of... More

Firstly the rooms themselves and the general layout, are excellent, huge well laid out rooms with excellent views of the gardens. As everyone mentioned there's no shortage of animals around (water buck, graffes, and hippo's at night) to watch but there is no real lake view from the rooms, or from the restaurant/bars. Food & service were fine, but this... More

I spent the night in this lodge shortly after it opened a few years ago and it was quite good. On this occasion however it was quite a different story. I was on business and staying with 5 colleagues, we were greeted on arrival with hot towels which was great until I put them on my face and all you... More
