Serengeti Sopa Lodge

**SERENGETI SOPA LODGE**
Looking out over the seemingly endless Serengeti plains, this hillside lodge is a tranquil oasis set in over 14,000 sq kms (5,000 sq miles) of National Park. The Serengeti plains are host to a dramatic annual migration of hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and numerous other species of animals indigenus to the area
	Opened in 1992, the lodge can accommodate 170 guests in 79 suites, each enjoying wall-to-wall carpeting, a private lounge with a mini bar, a bedroom with two queen size beds and ample room for a third, an en-suite bathroom with shaver sockets and a hair dryer, and a private verandah which offers stunning views over the plains.The double size pool offers a refreshing interlude between game drives as well as wondeful views over the rolling plains of the Serengeti.
With an altitude of 1,615 metres (5,300 feet) and being located in the hills the lodge enjoys cooling breezes. Although for most of the year the temperatures are high the rains in November and December, and in April and May bring a welcome relief to the dry plains. Only the lightest of clothes are recommended although a light sweater might be needed for early mornings and evenings.
Access to the lodge is via a tarmac highway to Makuyuni and then an all weather road through Mto wa Mbu, Karatu and the Ngoromgoro Conservation Area highlands. The alternative is a one hour scheduled or chartered flight from Arusha to Seronera followed by a 45 minute drive through plentiful wildlife to the lodge
