Located inside the Samburu National Reserve in Northern Kenya, Samburu Sopa lodge is built atop the high ground, allowing panoramic views of Samburu's vast shrub land and the hills beyond.
The lodge is built to reflect the local communities'architectural heritage, whose sons and daughters make up most of the workforce at the lodge.Fifteen cottages, each with two bedrooms, are built in an arch formation on either side of the public areas to surround the waterhole but leaving a wide gap to allow the animals free movement to the water.
Thirty cottages forming buffalo horn patterns converge at the public facilities area, leaving the open end to the wildlife's free movement to access the waterhole.
Room amenities: The architecture blends in with the area to keep up with the local Samburu people's housing style. Each cottage has two tastefully appointed bedrooms, each with two queen-size beds, a shower, and a private verandah. Local material has been used in the construction, furnishings, and interior decoration. High ceilings and space ensure that the rooms are airy and comfortable. Two rooms next to the reception and public areas are designed for the physically challenged.
Room décor: All guestrooms have private verandas with uninterrupted. The traditions of the Samburu tribe directly inspire the artistic interior decor of each room.
Special feature: Unique animals found in the reserve.
The public areas are airy and spacious with views of the surrounding area. The reception is decorated with local artifacts, and rich earth colors typical of the Samburu area have been well blended.
The lodge is the only one with a waterhole in Samburu, which will allow animal viewing right in front of the lobby and can also be seen from bedroom verandahs, especially during dry seasons.
Located next to the lobby, it has an uninterrupted view of the surrounding area.

We wanted to do safari with my wife in Kenya. Diwaka Safaris organized our trip for 17 days professionally. We were very satisfied with all services. The best part was our guide Patrick Waweru who did an excellent job.
