Lake Naivasha Sopa Lodge is a beautiful safari lodge on the shores of Lake Naivasha in the Great Rift Valley. Set in one hundred and fifty acres of grassland studded with Acacia bushes and trees, the resort is not only home to resident giraffe, waterbuck and both Vervet and Colobus monkeys, but it is also a night stop for the hippos when they leave the lake every night to come and trim the grass on our expansive lawns. The resort boasts a serene and picturesque location overlooking Lake Naivasha and its surrounding wildlife, making it an ideal destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers.
Lake Naivasha is one of the two freshwater lakes of the Rift Valley in Kenya, the other being Lake Baringo. The lake measures approximately 177sq km and is an ornithologist's delight with an impressive list of bird species. Lake Naivasha is unusual in having no known outlet, normally a prerequisite for a freshwater lake!
Accommodation at Lake Naivasha Sopa Lodge
The resort offers a range of accommodation options to cater to the needs of different types of guests. The standard rooms are well-appointed and feature en-suite bathrooms, king-size beds, satellite TV, and private balconies with breathtaking views of the lake and the surrounding landscape. The suites are more spacious and come with a separate living area and a mini-bar, while the villas are designed for families and groups of friends, with multiple bedrooms and a private garden.
With Sopa’s traditional and conscientious care for the environment, they carefully positioned all the buildings on the property so they did not have to fall any of the many trees there. As a result, they had to develop a radically innovative and artistic design for the main public area building which now snakes its way between the trees with long and graceful curves.
It is also why you might well ask just why the two swimming pools with a children’s section and a pool complex with its bar, snack kitchen, pizzeria and health spa; our tennis court; two conference halls with their four differently sized meeting areas, and the stables are so widely set apart.
