Nowhere else on the planet will you find wildlife like you will on the Serengeti. It was an amazing time. Animals everywhere. You see many animals the first few days then you track down the harder to see animals like the leopard and cheetah. The scenes are breath-taking and the animals...unbelievable. You need to spend at least 3-4 days here to see everything and the park is like a small country so you won't see it all but there is enough to see anywhere you go. In the north park of the park your driver must stay on the roads at all times. In the south part of the park you are more free to roam as you please. Most people go to the north because of its proximity to Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara. But you will see animals...lots of them. Trust me.

An amazing environment that you cannot miss! The park is huge and will get you a lot closer to nature. You can see all the big cats here and the wildebeest are amazing!

Its the Serengeti what else should I say. You should visit this park. You have the chance to see most of the large game, birds, the lot. The accommodations were great, people are wonderful. Take a morning ballon ride over the Serengeti it is worth the trip...

Visiting Serengeti is a lifetime experience

Serengeti is wonderful. I visited during the great migration of wildebeest and zebras. There are basically three regions in the park: the south serengeti, the center and the north serengeti. I visited the south - that means ndutu area - in february when and where the herds give birth. There was many offspring and if you are patient, you will see female wildebeest giving birth as well as predators such as hyenas, lions and cheetahs hunting. In the center of serengeti, I saw the kopjes, the grumetti river with hippos and crocodiles and the leopards. While the south is green and wet during february, the center and north is dry. But things change along the year so try to find out where the herds and the rain is to assure you will see what you want.

Its huge. Therefore you can pick and choose the type of safari experience to your liking. It could be a little crowded when a big game like a leopard or a cheetah is spotted. But there is plenty more - great for birding if that is your interest.

A vast wilderness where at some points you can see the curvature of the earth.

A vast wilderness where at some points you can see the curvature of the earth—grass plains that extend to the horizon.
Serengeti National Park is one of the gems of the world, a vast wilderness populated by all the animals that you expect to see in East Africa. My party and I were there in Mid-January. We got to see the incredible migration of wildebeest and zebra coming down from the North to the great plains of the Serengeti. The came to the water in the Hidden Valley area, thousands of thousands of animals; quite a spectacle to see. If you love wildlife and nature, the Serengeti is a must destination. We also saw many leopards in the Serengeti’s tree lined river valleys. It is also a great birding destination as well.
We stayed in the Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge, which is centrally located in the vast Serengeti ecosystem. I had a beautiful view of the southern Serengeti from my room. The people at the lodges are very friendly, and our Wildersun guides were excellent—extremely knowledgeable not only about the wildlife, but also knowing where to position the vehicle for the best photography. For, I am a nature photographer, and I came to see and photograph the birds and wildlife. I loved every moment of my stay, for I love the earth and its wildlife. Every moment is unique and special in nature, and that’s especially true for Serengeti National Park.
With my photography, I try to capture the sacredness and individual spirituality of each species. You can see some of my African photographic work from this trip on Flickr at https://www.flickr.com/photos/brucefinocchio/
I really did well with lions, and I have a blog post you might enjoy reading on the Ndutu lions at https://brucefinocchio.wordpress.com/
The Serengeti one of the jewels of natural world, and a must destination for anyone who loves wildlife and nature.

Weather was a bit cold on the morning bur the wildlife in the Park was absolutely amazing. Our Guide was a really kind guy that made our visit unforgivable. Accomodations were Serengeti Ikoma Safari Camp and Bougainvillea Safari Lodge. Both of them were a clean nice places where resting after a lot of km in car.

Really recommended visit in Tanzania

Just amazing! The wildlife is amazing and the scenery even more. The scenery ranges from being in the middle of a savannah seeing noting but the gras meeting the sky at the horizon to a hippo filled oasis!

Best of the best. It´s a must. No other place on earth has more wildlife than Serengeti. Been there a lot of times and if there is one place I want to get back to before I die it´s Serengeti. But leave the place from May - November when the migration is too far north and weather can be really wet.
