It's Not One Of The Most Renowned National Parks for Nothing!
Overall rating

Don't miss it! I spent 5 days on Safari in the Serengeti National Park and it was one of the most memorable trips of my life. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly and always where the action was! Lions and Cheetahs feasting on their prey was def a highlight.

One thing I was nervous about going into the trip - FOOD. Wow, was I wrong! We had amazing meals every night at each campsite. That being said I'm a peeker and I saw everyone else's food too and they were doing alright themselves. I was more than surprised. So go eat up, then hit Kili!!!

Serengeti was different than I expected, but you will see the most cats here. It's definitely a place to see in your life.

Choosing the best park in Africa is like choosing your favorite child! But if one were to choose one park it would be the Serengeti. One thing you will notice as soon as you enter the park is the sheer vastness of the park. When we visited this park in Nov 2014, we got an opportunity to see the big cats. In our three day stay at the park we saw several Cheetahs going on hunt. One with 3 new born cubs. If you do go ask your guide to take to southern Serengeti if you have time as it has far less Jeeps. All the facilities within the park we found were world class.

It was well organized from the beginning up to the end. Accommodation, I had to choose low standard one because it is too expensive, but it was fantastic. People are very friendly and helpful. The park is very beautiful and too many animals you could see. Food was good quality and quantity.

One of the singularly incredible experiences on the planet

The landscape alone gives you chills, acacia dotting broad plains, with colours and imagery that might be familiar from a nature documentary, but feels deeper, maybe stretching back to man's history in this place.

And then you see the animals. First a giraffe moving in the distance. Then families of elephants, herds of wildebeest and zebras, warthogs, birds. Prides of lions, solitary leopards, mothers and babies. It's all here, and in numbers that make your jaw drop. And what makes it that much more incredible is watching the animals interacting, mostly ignoring your presence and go about their activities in ways that can't be experienced or understood in a zoo. The vastness of this place can give you goosebumps the entire time.

Come ready for heat, for flies, and for bumpy game drives. This is the wild, and it truly is wild, and it's absolutely worth it.

Fantastic, amazing wildlife everywhere. Really wild. Lots of jeeps at times but can strike out alone and we saw lion cubs playing and herds of wildebeest without any other cars around. Loved the camping in the bush.

Safari doesn't get any better than this. Luxury tent accommodations, Massai warrior escorts, leopards in trees, lions everywhere, cheetahs, hyenas, antelope, elephants, giraffe, wildebeest and zebra migration, Cape buffalo grazing all night next to our tent. Totally awesome!

Fantastic park!
Overall rating
5/5

The animals were abundant! We were there during the migration and saw thousands of wildebeest and zebra. Our guide was phenomenal at spotting animals. I don't think there's one species that we didn't see. The park wasn't too crowded. Sometimes there could be 10-15 vehicles in one spot, but most of the time we felt like we were alone out there. We saw elephants charge lions. We saw lions eating a zebra. We saw hyenas eating something dead. It was a wonderful experience! We took a hot air balloon ride which was nice, but we honestly saw more wildlife on the ground. We didn't even need binoculars. I would definitely recommend this park!

Wildlife viewing in Serengeti National Park is good throughout the year, but certain areas are better at specific times. The dry season (from late June to September) offers the best wildlife viewing in general- with the wildebeest migration as its absolute highlight. The timing of the migration varies every year (the best chance of seeing it is during June and July) while the wildebeest calving is from late January to February.
The Serengeti's Southern plains are where the name of the park comes from. Huge endless grass plains stretch from Southern Seronera into the Ngorongoro Conservation area. The area is not as good for game out of the migration season as the central Seronera region, or the Western Corridor, but from December through to April the migration covers the entire area. February is a superb time of year to be here for the calving season when 8,000 wildebeest are born every day for a two week period! The only two permanent lodges here are Ndutu Lodge and Kusini Camp, however, all the mobile camps move down to the area for the whole period. Alex Walker’s Serian is perfect choice for this area, being close enough to the migration and far away from the other mobile camps. For a more migration intense location, Olakira, Nomads Serengeti Safari Camp and Serengeti Under Canvas work very well
