Serengeti Sopa Lodge
Located in the south west of the seemingly endless plains of the Serengeti National Park, and is located 35 km from the Seronera airstrip. 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 indigenous to the area.
