About Serengeti Explorer (by Elewana)
Formerly known as the Serengeti Sopa Lodge, this property has been completely transformed into a "contemporary safari hideaway." Unlike the traditional round-house style of the past, the new design uses warm textures and modern minimalist African décor. The lodge is particularly famous for its 35-meter infinity pool, its dedicated photographic hide next to a waterhole, and a high-tech stargazing deck with a resident astronomer. It bridges the gap between a classic safari lodge and a high-end luxury resort.
