LOCATION :
The lodge
is located 206 km south of the Equator on the eastern boundary
of the Masai Mara Game Reserve in south-western Kenya, 2km from
the Oloolaimutia Gate. The Reserve, the best known game area
in East Africa, is 1,120 sq. kms of prime wildlife-viewing territory
bordering on the Serengeti National Park. Via a tarmac road
from Nairobi to Narok and an all weather road thereafter it
takes about five hours.
The alternative is a one hour scheduled or
chartered flight from Nairobi to Keekorok airstrip from where
transfers to the lodge can be arranged with prior notice.
Set in the Oloolaimutia
valley the lodge blends in perfetly with its surrounding hillside
landscape. The accent here is on the Masai people and the
fabulous wealth of wildlife, birdlife, and natural flora to
be found in the fabled Masai Mara Game Reserve. We have earned
a well-deserved reputation for the friendliness and care offered
to our guests by our management and staff. This is one of
the most important aspects of the style and service offered
by each and every SOPA destination

ACCOMMODATION & FACILITIES
: The
lodge has 200 beds by way of 77 rooms, 12 suites and 1 Presidential
suite, all of which are 'rondavel' style and have en-suite
bathroom facilities which provide shaving sockets and hairdryers.
Every room and suite has a private, elevated verandah with
splendid views across the valley and on which guests can relax,
sunbathe and watch resident birds and wildlife. Mini-bars
are also available in each room.
The lodge has an altitude of 2,104 meters (6,400 feet) above
sea level and, because of the cool breezes through the valley
it is sited in, enjoys warm days and cool evenings. The April
/ June, October / November rainy seasons ensure that the Reserve
is verdant almost throughout the year. Only the lightest of
clothes are recommended although a light sweater might be
needed for early mornings and evenings. More formal attire
might be advisable for cocktails and theme evenings while
swimwear is a must by the pool.
Our Guest Shop stocks
a wide selection of curios, gift items, clothing, film and
toiletries. The lodge has a freeform, fresh-water pool which
offers spectacular views over the valley. We can supply both
petrol and diesel fuels and can carry out most minor repairs.
