Overview
Tucked away in the heart of Tarangire National Park, Tarangire Sopa Lodge offers a luxurious escape amid Tanzania’s untamed wilderness. Surrounded by rolling savannahs, rocky kopjes, and iconic baobab trees, the lodge is a gateway to one of Africa’s greatest wildlife spectacles—the largest concentration of elephants on the continent. Just a two-hour drive from Arusha, or a swift 20-minute flight to Kuro Airstrip followed by a scenic hour-long transfer, this haven invites you to immerse yourself in nature without sacrificing comfort. The nearby Tarangire River and Tarangire Hill provide a dramatic backdrop, drawing herds of zebra, wildebeest, and elusive predators like leopards and tree-climbing lions.
The lodge’s design blends seamlessly with its surroundings, evoking a sense of timeless safari elegance with a touch of modern luxury. Spacious, circular suites with high conical roofs mirror the curves of the landscape, while open-air lounges and a sparkling pool create an atmosphere of relaxed sophistication. Guests can embark on thrilling game drives, savor bush breakfasts under acacia trees, or explore the park’s 550 bird species on guided walks. For a truly unforgettable experience, a hot-air balloon safari offers panoramic views of the park’s sprawling plains. Whether you’re sipping sundowners by the campfire or watching elephants amble past, Tarangire Sopa Lodge promises moments of wonder and tranquility.
