Mpata Safari Club sits high on the edge of the Oloololo Escarpment, with panoramic views across the Masai Mara Plains, adjoining the Masai Mara National Reserve. The Club House is located in the middle of 23 separate cottages which extend like a bird wing. The architecture of Mpata Safari Club was designed by Edward Suzuki, acclaimed as one of the best architects in Japan, and from each separate shirring shape unit, you can see the sun rise from the horizon of the savannah.
The Club House comprises the reception, restaurant, library and bar, and the swimming pool commanding the great grassland. The pleasure of your sundowner cocktail can be escalated by the sundowner bar set out in a well and naturally landscaped garden.
Guests stay in 23 separate cottages, well-spaced along the top of the escarpment. There are 11 Suites and 12 Deluxe Units, each with interlocking curves separating bedrooms, bathroom and veranda. The chief feature of the Deluxe Room is the panoramic sweep of the Mara which you can see from your bed. The Suites have similar views and are larger, with a lounge, kitchenette and, best of all, a Jacuzzi. The units are accessed by stone pathways meandering between indigenous bush and trees which help to soften the tower-like structures.
All meals prepared at our Club are of Nouvelle cuisine,-based on recipes by Kiyomi Mikuni, one of the world's greatest chefs and a founder member of Mpata Club. Breakfast has an English flavour, while lunch and dinner are more formal.
There are also a variety of activities to choose from, including morning and evening game drives.
