Unlike Sopa Lodges elsewhere, which are often dated, dark and in obscure locations, this fine new property has light-filled rooms from high on a perch overlooking the lake. The rooms are excellent and take full advantage of the views, while the whole lodge sparkles with impressive service and vantage points at every turn.
You'll need to drive a little further than other places for your wildlife drive, but we reckon it's worth it for the views. And watch the bushes for the flitting little red-cheeked cordon bleu, one of the Rift Valley's loveliest little birds.
