“Great Lodge..fantasic views.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Well positioned in the Southern Serengeti. We went in early February and experienced the migration of many tens of thousands of Zebra and Wildebeast, along with many young calfs.Lion were an easy find. The views from the room balcony were amazing, but having a drink and a snack outside brought the attention of monkeys who are adept at stealing your peanuts !
The staff were excellent...very helpful, and willing.
The food was OK..nothing spectacular, but remember you are in the middle of Africa, not in Europe or The US. The Lodge is recommended.

Room Tip: Ask at the desk..they will try to help.

“Great food and cute monkeys.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

I honestly don’t remember anything negative about our stay at the Sopa Serengeti Lodge. Upon arrival we were greeted immediately with a warm washcloth and a glass of watermelon juice. The food was good and the rooms were nice. Since the lodge is in the middle of the Serengeti it is possible to see wild safari animals from your balcony. The most memorable thing for me during my stay at this lodge was 1.) The wild elephants (including a very adorable baby elephant) grazing while we were in the pool outside and 2.) The monkeys - after being on my balcony I stepped inside to take a shower. When I walked out of the bathroom there was a monkey on my bed! Apparently I didn't shut my balcony door all the way and I left some food around. He scattered back out the door as soon as he saw me but not before he grabbed a bag of cashews I had left on my nightstand. It was not dangerous but if you do not like the idea of this then I suggest making sure the balcony door is shut at all times (I thought it was very cool!) There were a lot of people staying there which leads me to believe it is very popular.

“Comfort in the wilderness”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

Looks a bit used, but the rooms are OK and the location unbeatable.
Very friendly staff - good service.
Evening entertainment a bit too much ( for my taste ).
