Contact a specialist about Serengeti Sopa Lodge, Tanzania

Unfortunately during my visit to Tanzania in May the camp was closed. I do know that in keeping with Sanctuary Lodge's generally high level of accommodation that Swala is one of three of the luxury options for a stay in the Tarangire. I have had many clients come back with excellent reports and I would have no hesitation in recommending this to anyone after a truly authentic safari experience.

Nestled in a remote pocket of Tarangire National Park, Swala is sited in a copse of majestic acacia trees at the edge of the Gurusi wetlands and the unfurling savannah beyond. The stands of ancient baobab trees, large family herds of elephants, prolific bird life and dry season concentrations of wildlife make Tarangire the classic Africa of lore – feted by explorers, immortalized in documentaries and sought after by the discerning traveller. This picturesque safari hideaway is exclusive in the south western corner of Tarangire National Park, affording guests private game viewing, wilderness luxury, and a privileged glimpse of an Africa, untrammelled by tourism.

  • Due to the low volume of traffic in the park, the game is 'wild', being unaccustomed to vehicles and this offers a truly unique experience
  • Game drives in the incredibly beautiful Tarangire with its gigantic baobab trees
  • Witnesses huge herds of elephants swimming in the marshes
