Serengeti Sopa Lodge

Located on the edge of the escarpment overlooking the plains of the south-western Serengeti National Park, home to many thousands of wild and rare animals, Serengeti Sopa Lodge lies within an area of outstanding natural beauty. An oasis of cool relaxation from the equatorial sun.

The lodge allows its guests to experience magnificent sights and enjoy interaction with the land and animals difficult to find elsewhere, whilst at the same time enjoying the highest level of cuisine and hospitality.

With our Sopa tradition of excellence, it goes without saying that our fully en suite guestrooms and suites have been designed, decorated and furnished with only your total comfort in mind.

The 69 standard rooms, all with two queen-size beds, are carpeted, and tastefully furnished with local fabrics and pictures. On entering the room, there is a lounge with a mini-bar. In the front is a veranda with two comfortable chairs and coffee table, with glass windows facing the vast Serengeti plains which extend as far as the naked eye can see.

In addition, there are four very spacious double-storey suites, each with a lounge area on the ground floor where one can dine, or sit out on the balcony facing the Serengeti Plains. Upstairs is the bedroom with a king-size bed on a raised wooden platform, and on one side a bathtub facing the plains. There is an outside open shower as well. The interior of the suites are painted with the same colours as the main building, terracotta, mustard and blue, which is incorporated in the fabrics. A veranda extends from the room facing the plains, ideal for relaxing and watching the spectacular Serengeti sunset.

The Lodge features an open dining area, which is spacious and airy with lots of light emanating from the floor to ceiling windows. This allows a magnificent view of the plains as well. Behind the buffet area is a shimmering blue placement, like a glass mosaic, adding on to the theme. The bar is set in a corner with a view of the Serengeti plains, the bar area is strategically placed with an uninterrupted view, and has a terrace for seating with comfortable chairs. Unlike most other safari lodges throughout East Africa, our main building does not have a traditionally African thatched roof. It has instead a flat roof which we often use for cocktail, sundowner and private parties.
