Serengeti Sopa Lodge

What a beautiful location. I requested our safari operator to book this for us based on Elewana’s reputation. It’s a picture perfect location. Rooms are spacious. Staff are excellent . Drinks and food were insured and the bar staff were exceptional with their service as were the staff in the dining room. The view from the infinity pool were spectacular and out of a movie scene. Unfortunately thunderstorms in the evening and we could not see much wild life at the watering hole . When we left the hotel in the morning after breakfast to drive to Ndutu we saw so much wild life very close to the hotel . Should have stayed more than one night

Such a nice experience good service, clean and comfort place to stay

I was worried about this hotel after reading the reviews. However, it turns out the hotel was renovated a year ago, and the reviews are a combination of the old and new hotel. The hotel is gorgeous and perfectly situated on a hill overlooking the Savannah. There are plenty of common spaces to relax with a book and a drink. The rooms are large and spacious. I wasn’t hot at all despite the lack of AC, and I do tend to run warm most of the time. The food, similar to that in other lodges, is mediocre. At least it is served as buffet so you don’t have to sit for hours. Highly recommend.

Staying at Explorer was the highlight of our Serengeti safari, the rooms and main areas were great, the staff were friendly, the service was great and the meals were really amazing, pizza at lunch was superb, we went on drive with Samai, a guide from Explorer, Samai was great, we saw loads of wildlife, Lion,Leopard,Elephant and lots of other wildlife, we also spent a lot of time birdwatching and we managed to find over 100 species ,we also spent some time in the underground hide which was great, overall a wonderful experience.

Incredible place. Luxury, quality modern building situated on a hillside within the serengeti. The staff was fantastic, catered to our group of 8. The food was superb, very tasty. amazing. the location was great, the rooms were top notch, the common areas were excellent. a complete 10 out of 10. can't say enough great things about it.
