Ngorongoro Sopa is the only hotel
located on the eastern side of the crater rim. Also
part of a large hotel group it may not be the most
intimate place for an African bush experience, but
certainly is one of the most affordable and is
definitely value for money.
The
lodge is quite large with great views from the main
dining area. They have a lovely swimming pool area
situated in the front portion of the gardens, where
you can swim and watch the wildlife in the
crater.
Possibly one of the best aspects of
this hotel is it's proximity to Empakaai Crater and Ol
Donyio Lengai, which is Tanzania's only active
volcano. All other lodges have to use a very difficult
road to gain access to the crater base, whilst Sopa
have their own access road which is far less
harrowing.
The staff and especially the manager
are very friendly and you will be assured of a good
value for money stay.
