“comfort in Serengeti”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Dreary looking exterior but the interior comfort, food and views from the room more than make up for it. Giraffes and monkeys visited our balcony along with the numerous birds making their nests in the bushes closeby. Amazing food, better than in the other Sopa lodges we stayed in. The staff were more friendly too. The access road did have great many marshy stretches, saw a few jeeps that had got stuck and needed assistance. Would recommend that people ensure reaching the lodge before dark.

“Christmas safari”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011

Grand foyer with lots of seating areas, however outside is quite dated pink walls. Large room with very well decorated bathroom and shower area. Very nice indian buffet meal for xmas (roast meat was also available) and also christmas crackers and presents etc. Good selection of breakfast cereal, fruits and hot food. No fresh juices available, disappointing considering price paid for stay. Lunch box contained meat samosas although we spoke to chef and requested a veg meal the previous day. Cocktails and canape's were finished in 15mins and were not sufficient for all the guests present. Entertainers/dancers were very impressive and interacted well with the guests.

Guides are treated poorly at this lodge, with repetitive food menu everyday.

“GREAT BALCONY VIEW”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 November 2011

person found this review helpful

Who wouldn't love watching monkeys playing on your balcony! The view of the Serengeti was unequaled. The grazing animals were so close you could hear them munching. The food was delicious and the presentation so enjoyable. The showers were huge, beautifully tiled, and they had a clothes line built in, very handy. A wonderful place to come back to after a long rewarding game drive.

“Great Place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 November 2011

We spent 2 nights here and enjoyed all of our game drives. The rooms were comfortable and we had to keep the patio doors closed as the monkeys like to come and visit. Our meals were excellent and the staff very friendly. Here as with all the sopas, we were welcomed with hot, wet towels and cool drinks. We were traveling with my sister and her husband and this was part of our 3 week trip.
