Large mostly charmless hotel with mostly smaller groups of European guests plus honeymooners. Excellent views of Serengeti plains from rooms and pool. Internet only available in public areas. Cell service works. No TV or phones in rooms. Rooms & baths are spacious with 2 queen beds/ room. No A/C but nice breeze up from the plain. Meals are buffet style... More

After reading reviews, we expected more. Our room was upstairs 3rd room from the lounge so the view from the room was nice. However the rain started so rain started to drop on my head during at night. That was unfortunate because maintenance may not know unless it rains. Anyway we had reported the matter and hopefully they will fix... More

Stayed here for 2 nights with my girlfriend and friends. Overall amazing experience. If you are paying so much money for these safaris, you only hope the accommodation comes through as well, and Sopa did. The rooms were beautiful, with patios that open up to views of the Serengeti. We had adjoining rooms with our friends that made it feel... More

Wonderful lodge that offered stunning views, especially from the pool area. Food was fantastic and plentyful. Staff were brilliant (we found this in all the places we stayed on safari) and made our stay that little more special. Would love to return

The rooms had the amenities we needed with beautiful views from the balcony and grounds. The food was good and Peter took great care of us at our meals. The staff choir performed beautiful songs after dinner. The only downside to the Sopa was the box lunches.

Nice sitauted hotel, in the midlle of wilderness. Whole hotel was well maintained with great services and views. Especially from the pool area, you can enjoy nice views over the Serengeti. Pros: - Services were exceptional, starting with our "warm" welcome with hot towel and welcome drink, efficient check in, through the services of their own doctor we needed to... More

Great lodge but a bit big for my liking, you feel more like a number than a guest. The staff were nice enough and the food was great. They have a very nice entrance area and the rooms were a bit old fashioned but as a single traveller I had 3 double beds. The view was great but the balcony... More

We greatly enjoyed our short stay at this Sopa Lodge. The drive up the small road to get there was rough, but it was worth it. The views from the decks and the pool area were stunning. The staff were wonderful and very friendly. We enjoyed the food and enjoyed the set menu as we had eaten buffets most other... More

Day 5 of our Safari to Kenya and Tanzania sees us crossing into the mighty Serengeti, with mile upon mile of grazing stretching far into the horizon. On the edge of the plains, through some scrub and woodland, over a couple of small rivers, you climb a rough gravel incline to the Serengeti Sopa Lodge. Yes, it's a bit ageing.... More

These rooms were beautiful, the setting is spectacular, food good but lack of fans in the room meant that we slept very badly. We didn't choose this hotel, it was part of the tour we booked but the staff were lovely and the hotel is really nice. Our room was right next to the pool but we didn't get the... More
