Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative: 

Mara Sopa Lodge derives its name from the Masai Language meaning 'hello'. This is the kind of the greeting you will receive once you are checking in at the lodge. Masai Staff from the local community will welcome you, check you in at the reception and later enjoy a delicious meal prepared by some of the Masai chefs. The lodge has been employing its staff from the local community for many years and it has helped with the level of poverty.
