Reviews 921 From Tripadvisor
Our room was superb, and the environment was as well. The lodge is right in the middle of the park; we had dik-diks at our balcony and hyraxes everywhere! The pool is beautiful, and the view from the restaurant is top-notch. A small downside is the quality of the food, which makes us rate it 4 stars instead of 5, but it is a very beautiful place!
We stayed at Tarangire Sopa Lodge for the first night of our safari, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The lodge is beautifully located right in the heart of Tarangire National Park, which makes it feel truly special and immersive. Waking up surrounded by nature was unforgettable. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always making sure we were comfortable. The food was absolutely delicious, with plenty of options to enjoy after a long day on safari. The rooms are very spacious, clean, and well-equipped—perfect for relaxing and recharging after a day of exploring the park.
