Tarangire Sopa Lodge

Tarangire National Park


Rooms at the Sopa Lodge are large – effectively suites – and the carpets have (mercifully) been removed, but the facilities are ageing, some of the rooms are dark and most lack sight lines thanks to the overgrown brushwood, although elephants often come right up to the window. The location, close to the middle of the park, is good.
