Amboseli Sopa Lodge

Set inside 200 acres of private land, Amboseli Sopa Lodge is a rustic lodge nestled in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest and most popular snow-capped mountain. Ernest Hemingway’s two unforgettable stories ‘The Short, Happy Life of Francis Macomber’ and ‘The Snows of Kilimanjaro’ were inspired in this region. These were later turned into feature films in the late 40's. Characterized by renowned actors of the time, the films were more than successful. Encapsulated by several forms of wildlife, Amboseli National Park is about twenty minutes drive away from the lodge.
