The Sopa Serengeti Safari
Tanzania lies to the south of Kenya and offers a wealth of game watching opportunities. Our safaris visit Tanzania's best game viewing areas including the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. All Tanzania safaris operate using 4-wheel drive vehicles, with a window seat guaranteed.
In addition to abundant game to view in the Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater, included is a visit to the Tarangire National Park. Tarangire's river attracts numerous game and this park has a particularly dense wildlife population.
Sopa Lodges are notable for their grand, visually stunning public areas, excellent dining and large, well-appointed rooms. Each lodge offers a swimming pool, nightly wildlife films, an opulent bar and lounge area and a wide variety of cuisine.
Ngorongoro Lodge is an architectural marvel built on the rim of the collapsed volcano, with magnificent views over the crater floor.
The Ngorongoro Crater is the world's largest unbroken volcanic caldera whose steep sides form a natural enclosure for a wide variety of wildlife. An estimated 25,000 animals, including the 'big five' inhabit the interior of the crater.
In short the Sopa Serengeti Safari offers high quality safari lodges in truly breathtaking locations, which offer spectacular wildlife.
