Samburu Sopa Lodge offers a truly unforgettable experience thanks to its incredible location right in the heart of the reserve. At night, you can hear lions roaring in the distance, and it’s not unusual to open your door in the morning and find an elephant resting just 100 meters from the cottages. The night sky is absolutely spectacular. The cottages are spacious and comfortable, and although they don’t have air conditioning, we didn’t need it at all during our stay. The common areas — especially the restaurant — overlook a waterhole that attracts a large variety of wildlife, which makes every meal even more special. The staff are exceptionally attentive and welcoming, from the reception team to the restaurant staff. The Samburu guards who escort you to your cottage at night are friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to share their deep understanding of the surrounding environment. Wi-Fi works well in the common areas but not in the rooms — though personally, I didn’t come to Kenya to stay glued to my phone, so I don’t quite understand the complaints about that. Overall, an excellent experience that we would happily repeat.

We were immediately made to feel at home here by the extremely friendly attentive staff all working together to create a wonderful atmosphere. It being my friend's birthday during our stay, all the catering/restaurant team appeared in a huge traditional musical procession to present her with a specially-made birthday cake; it was a beautiful and touching occasion which neither of us will ever forget. The rooms were clean, charming & beautiful. Lovely, well-maintained outdoor pool.

The guestroom had a comfortable bed, an in-room safe, and a private terrace. The bathroom was small with a shower but no hairdryer. Wi-Fi is available near the reception area and in the restaurant. The lodge features a restaurant, bar, swimming pool, and spa. Meals are served buffet-style with plenty of variety—especially the delicious soups! A special thank you to Faith for her outstanding service in the restaurant. Electricity is available from 4:00–9:00 a.m. and 6:00–11:00 p.m., and hot water is provided during those same hours. In the evenings, a staff member escorts you safely to your room. The lodge enjoys an excellent location in the heart of Samburu National Park. During breakfast or dinner, you can even spot wildlife visiting the waterhole in front of the restaurant. Highly recommend this lodge for its setting, comfort, and warm hospitality.
