We booked this lodge via Africa Tried and Tested (Arusha based company, very good!!). After a long day of travel and game drives we came to rest in this very comfortable and relaxing hotel, right in the middle of Tarangire National Park. Very friendly staff, excellent food, comfortable rooms. We booked the entire trip via Tried and Tested. This company... More

This was our first stop on our week's Safari tour of Tanzania and it was very welcoming! Lovely lunch served by the pool, followed by a dip to cool down in the heat :o) Monkeys, rock hyrax, squirrels & lizards mingling amongst us! Nice room with a view out over the Tarangire National park. Dinner was inside due to a... More

This was our first lodge on a 2 week safari. It was comfortable but I was surprised there was no aircon. However, we had no aircon any where on the safari but managed with fans. The view from our room was wonderful. The food and service here were good and the pool was welcome in the hot weather. There were... More

After staying in other sopa and Serena lodges, the standards were set high, the tarangire lodge doesn't have the view or location of the other lodges that we stayed in Tanzania. That said, it was comfortable, the lounge areas were really nice, the usual food and service of sopa lodges, and the bathroom has been recently refurbished. The view fom... More

The Sopa Lodge is a really big hotel but with nice amenities in a great location. It is a great value for the price. If you are a pool person, this is a great option! All rooms have 2 queen beds, and there are 4 rooms per building (2 up and 2 down). All rooms sleep 4 and can add... More

My wife and I stayed at the Tarangire Sopa Lodge one night in March 2013 as part of a small group safari in Kenya and Tanzania. The lodge is o.k., but is older, a bit more worn, and less impressive than the 6 other safari lodges we stayed in during our trip. The comparison was particularly dramatic because we had... More

The room was very hot at night.Bed linen looked a bit washed out.Could do with a face lift.Food was very good though and staff were very helpful and attentive.It was nice to have a pool for cooling off in.Would probably not recommend staying here unless you have no alternative.

The outside temperature reached 38C during our stay - and, yes, we agree with others that it was very difficult to keep the room cool even with a ceiling fan and mosquito screen over an open window. The setting of our room was good, on the first floor over looking a wild area of trees and bushes with the swimming... More

The major attraction of this hotel was the dining area by the pool where groups can sit in nicely shaded areas. The lobby is very attractive. Rooms are OK but very hot, and the fact that the balcony screen can't be locked is a problem. Ceiling fans are provided but that doesn't get the temperature down enough. for a good... More
