Serengeti Sopa Lodge

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.

I would have given this lodge 5 stars if the rooms had better ventilation. As they were, the rooms were super hot. There is no A/C at this hotel, which is fine, considering where it is, but we could not get our room to cool off at night. You can't really sleep with the doors wide open, given that the animals that you want to see are just ourside of your room. So, they need to develop a cross ventilation system to get some fresh air into the rooms at night, while keeping guest safe.

This is a beautiful, modern property. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The restaurants and bars are really beautiful as well. The food was excellent and we were very well attended by Manny in the bar. We saw baboons climbing the trees outside our room and many other animals on the drive up to the property. The only negative is that our room was hot which made sleeping uncomfortable. You are able leave the sliding door on the balcony open but there was no breeze to move the air through when we stayed. Additionally, we were close to the bar where they were playing music loudly. This hotel, which is otherwise very high-end, needs to add air conditioning.

Well designed, spacious rooms with balconies and retractable screens. Professional, welcoming staff. Exceptionally clean. Beautiful common areas. Excellent food, the best breakfast selection on our Tanzanian adventure. Accommodation for gluten-free on-site and for box lunch.

We would like to give special mentions to several outstanding staff members who made our stay unforgettable. Zam Zam, Beatrix, Damion, and Hassan provided warm, attentive service that made us feel like VIPs. Richard and Jennifer were always on hand with genuine hospitality, and Stella, our wonderful nanny, ensured that our little ones felt cared for and happy. And a heartfelt thanks to Brendon, the head chef, whose culinary creations were nothing short of spectacular. Every aspect of the hotel exudes luxury — from the elegant rooms and stunning surroundings to the exceptional staff and incredible amenities.
