I would spend min if 4-5 nights and relax 1-2 days here without doing any game drives . Laundry service was so good and complimentary that they also offer to clean your safari shoes . It does not have AC ( suites have AC), but a small fan and can get hot but you can open the balcony door as have A meshnet. Family room is available . Great place for family bonding .

Amazingly beautiful newly renovated hotel with gorgeous views. The staff was very welcoming and friendly . Delicious meals offering a wide variety on their fresh buffet daily. We were lucky to enjoy a Boma night filled with amazing food and dancing . Property was gorgeous with lots of places to relax and enjoy the view. One evening we came back to a Mama and baby baboon on our balcony! We enjoyed our stay here and would definitely go back.

This hotel is simply amazing! The staff are friendly and attentive. The setting and hotel facilities are second to none. The food was delicious. A special mention to Joshua who checked in with us at every mealtime. We were doing a safari for our honeymoon and the hotel left some sweet treats for us in our room and a congratulatory note. So thoughtful! On our 2nd and last night, we had dinner under the stars at the Boma restaurant. It was fantastic. We wish we'd had more than 2 nights here to enjoy everything else the hotel has to offer! We will just have to come back one day! I would add more photos of our room but I think only my husband took some! Suffice it to say, the photos online are an accurate representation. The rooms are beautiful!

Our stay at the Serengeti Explorer Hotel was truly beyond anything we could have imagined. Nestled in the heart of the Serengeti, this hotel offers the ultimate in luxury and comfort, seamlessly blending exquisite design with the breathtaking natural surroundings. From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly well looked after. The level of personalized service was outstanding, with the staff going above and beyond to cater to all our needs. The food was exceptional — beautifully prepared, flavorful, and thoughtfully catered to our dietary requirements, making each meal a delightful experience. We would like to give special mentions to several outstanding staff members who made our stay unforgettable. Zam Zam, Beatrix, Damion, and Hassan provided warm, attentive service that made us feel like VIPs. Richard and Jennifer were always on hand with genuine hospitality, and Stella, our wonderful nanny, ensured that our little ones felt cared for and happy. And a heartfelt thanks to Brendon, the head chef, whose culinary creations were nothing short of spectacular. Every aspect of the hotel exudes luxury — from the elegant rooms and stunning surroundings to the exceptional staff and incredible amenities. Serengeti Explorer is a true sanctuary that offers an authentic yet indulgent African experience in one of the most awe-inspiring locations on earth. We leave with unforgettable memories and a longing to return. This hotel is undoubtedly a masterpiece of hospitality and a perfect base to explore the wonders of the Serengeti.

The newly opened (December '24) Serengeti Explorer by Elewana (previously Sopa Lodge) was an absolute dream! Our 2 night stay here was nothing short of spectacular. A stunning architectural feat, spanning over a vast area in the heart of the Serengeti, the Explorer is luxury at its finest. The interiors and structure of the hotel were nothing like I've ever seen. A marriage between traditional African aesthetics and modern contemporary exteriors was a vision to behold. The rooms were equipped with everything you could possibly need in 2025 - a special mention for the remote controlled net blind that you could bring down in order to keep insects out of your room while enjoying the fresh breeze coming in through the window. Our balcony faced the vast Serengeti plains, a view I won't ever be able to forget. The staff deserves a very very special shout out, especially Freddy, our personal attendant. He ensured we were taken care of every step of the way, and made us extremely comfortable. The attention to detail, service, and food were all impeccable. I have no suggestions, no complaints, and no changes that needed to be made. This was an experience I won't soon forget.

Our travel agent Easy Travel booked this hotel for us. From the time we arrived, everything was perfect. The service, the restaurant, the rooms. The Hide (where you can watch the animals drinking at the waterhole) was simply amazing. We saw two buffalos up close drinking - the experience was unreal. The food was also great. I would stay here again!

This was an outstanding hotel! The rooms face the Serengeti and the night sounds are amazing - lions, baboons nearby. All staff were exceptional and the food was delicious and artfully displayed. We enjoyed sitting outside on the deck watching animals come to a watering hold nearby. We were able to attend a special Masai dinner held weekly at an outdoor venue - the food was exceptional and staff were great.

Stunning new gorgeous slice of heaven! Rooms are beautiful- pool and restaurants are lovely! Service is amazing! Bush breakfasts are delicious - out in the midst of the Serengeti…. Amazing experience! Coming back to this beautiful retreat after a long safari day is like a dream! Relaxing by the pool with great wine and appies before an amazing dinner. Anthony was so amazing….. he took care of us completely- his kindness and great service made our stay unforgettable!

Als je reviews selecteert op Nederlandse taal, zie je alleen oude reviews. Dat geeft een compleet verkeerd beeld van dit hotel! Die reviews zijn gebaseerd op het oude hotel dat hier zat, de Sopa Lodge. Daarna heeft dit hotel een complete verbouwing doorgemaakt en het heet nu Serengeti Explorer by Elewana. Het gemiddelde qua reviews wordt sterk omlaag gehaald door dit vorige hotel. Het nieuwe hotel is december 2024 opengegaan en is echt FANTASTISCH! Van begin tot eind. Wij zijn er met ons gezin van zes in totaal vier nachten geweest. De bedden zijn heel goed, de kamers sfeervol, het eten geweldig (ook het Boma restaurant buiten), Jenipher (die ons dagelijks bediende) was echt zo ontzettend aardig, de bar is super gezellig, het uitzicht magnifiek, Stella van de kidsclub straalt uit dat ze van kinderen houdt en zij is samen met Geof, de artist van het hotel, uren met onze meiden bezig geweest met mooie tekeningen (oliepastelkrijt), de bios is een hele fijne toevoeging, net als het waterhole, dat je via een ondergrondse tunnel bereikt en waar je dieren van heel dichtbij kunt zien... en zo kan ik nog wel even doorgaan! Werkelijk alles is tot in de puntjes geregeld, alle mensen zijn ontzettend lief en aardig en elk hoekje van dit nieuwe hotel kent een mooi design. Als je hier komt, is 1 of 2 nachten echt te weinig! Je wilt niet alleen die geweldige Serengeti ervaren, maar ook van dit hotel kunnen genieten tussendoor! Dankjewel Serengeti Explorer, voor ons geweldige verblijf bij jullie! Jullie gemiddelde hoort 5 sterren te zijn!
