Samburu Sopa Lodge

No WiFi in the rooms

Food was nice and plenty of selection for all meals. Staff was really helpful and accommodating. Even though it is a big hotel (60 rooms) it still feels private, but I can image it can get quite busy at times with big groups staying at the Lodge.

If you are not planning to drive around yourself the price for a half/ full day safari was 195 USD/ 351 USD for a private car, which seemed quite expensive to us. But maybe worth seeing if you can find others in the Lodge to share, we ended up drive by ourselves. While the location is beautiful on a higher part of Samburu, it is worth noting that most animals and game drives will be around the river area.

food is good, location is good.

In the middle of the nature, no-noise, staff was very helpful. Foods were delicious. You feel you are in safe place. Even if there is no grid in the area, we had power when we need.

Excellent help with a rented vehicle problem. Great recommendation for a game ranger, Apin

All meals buffet of average standard. WiFi available in dining room. Staff friendly

Lodge is 23km of gravel road from the park gate. Do not use a regular sedan. Pool is out of use being renovated. We were not told in advance. Few animals come to the almost empty cement waterhole Gardens all parched. Needs landscaping. We got wrong info on arranging a safari drive - unkept driver, messy car with no door, poor knowledge of fauna and flora, wrong payment information. We got wrong directions to neighbouring lodge pool. Lucky to get right directions from another staffer. More rough road. That lodge had better meals so we stayed for lunch. Only one water bottle in room in very hot climate. Not enough. Buffet meals are of average standard, fish burned, meats overcooked, not anough fruit.

Perfect place to relax

Outstanding location with 5* service.
