Accommodation: Tarangire Sopa Hotel

Built to blend in with the vastness of its surroundings, Tarangire Sopa Lodge lies hidden among the kopjes, ancient baobab and grasses of the Tarangire National Park - home to the greatest concentration of elephants in Africa.  Built on different levels, the main public area building offers an extremely cool respite from the outdoor heat as soon as you step into the reception. From the lobby, a short flight of steps takes you up a level and into the lounge and bar with floor to ceiling windows and an outdoor terrace where you can enjoy an evening sundowner.  While our circular guest suites with their high, conical roofs and sheltered verandas fan out to either side of the public areas, it is worth mentioning a word of caution here. Because the lodge is not fenced in any way, wild animals are at liberty to come and go as they please and transits to your room and back might be – but rarely – delayed by an elephant or two. This is the only reason our guards will insist on taking you to and fro at night.



Day 3 - Tarangire - Ngorongoro

After breakfast depart for your morning game drive. Lunch will be served back at the lodge and you will then be transfered to Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge.  Once you have checked into your room, you may choose to book additional services (cost extra) through the concierge or you may choose to relax and to refresh before dinner is served.
