General Information
Commanding a majestic panorama of Masai Mara, the Savannah of the maasai people, the Mpata Safari Club is astride a plateau gently sloping down towards a rugged, well-defined escarpment. 23 cottages are spread on both sides of the centrally placed common club-house parallel to the escarpment. The club-house fuses two basically semi-circular, fan-shaped components. Beneath this are various functions which are terraced relative to the sloping terrain. In the centre is an open patio which serves as the focal generator of the plan as well as a ventilator and shaft for natural daylight. The structure has been kept open to allow natural cross ventilation, but where there are strong winds, as occurs along the peripheral edges of the dining and bar areas, glass windbreakers have been installed.
Additional Information
Established in 1992, Mpata Safari Club is designed by the Japanese architect Edward Suzuki. The accommodation comprises of 23 separate cottages well spaced along the top of the Oloololo escarpment offering panoramic views of adjoining Masai Mara. There are 11 suite and 12 deluxe rooms, each with interlocking curves that separate the bedroom and bathroom before opening to the enticing veranda. With emphasis on comfort and a unique combination of interior design, the suite rooms have a sitting room, kitchenette and, best of all, an outdoor Jacuzzi.
