Fantastic park!
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!
I saw many many more animals than I ever thought I would.
I went in November, which borders on the rainy season. It was overcast much of the time, which was good. It kept us cool, and it did get hot when the sun came out. There are so many animals. In the middle of the night, I would hear constant noises from animals, near and far, all directions. The only protection was our tent, which is a little scary, but exciting at the same time. There was a giraffe grazing among the trees about a 50 years from our tent on afternoon. We almost witnessed a kill by a cheetah, but the she stopped upon hearing its young cry from its mother. We did see a carcass of a gazelle in the trees with two leopards. The next morning, they were nowhere in sight. The number of animals I saw was surreal. It was an amazing experience that I recommend to everyone.

A lifetime experince
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

Serengeti is amazing
Serengeti was all I had expected and then some. The animals, including the Great Migration, and the birds were beautiful, accommodations were unique and comfortable, and even at the more heavily-populated visitor centers at the entrances there was no trash or papers/plastic around.
Best park in Tanzania
This park is, hands down, our favorite place in Tanzania. No matter what time of year you visit, you will always see lions, cheetahs, oodles of wildebeest, giraffe and many other animals. Depending on the length of your stay, you should also be able to see a leopard or two.
Highly recommend it!
best park in Tanzania
Tour to Serengeti was very amazing and interesting to all of my family and friends.
we had a good game drive for almost 8 days with the best company "tai travellers"
Tanzania proved me that real wildlife is still possible to be experienced in this threatened world!
Luck, good karma, faith... I don't know what it was and I truly don't care.
To be able to see close up the big five and the little five during the same safari is no easy and in some cases not very likely.
I want to think that it was my true conviction that with good intensions, positive energy and vibe to nature everything is possible. And the proof is the 10 pics I have of this threatened, magnificent and extraordinary beautiful inhabitants of our planet in this corner of Africa: lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard and white rhino also known as the Big Five, and elephant shrew, buffalo weaver, leopard tortoise, lionant and the rhino beetle known as the Little Five.

The beauty of nature
It was our first safari, so we were overwhelmed, but in our jeep several participants had quite some experience. They stated they never saw such wildlife in other parks in other countries (number of animals as well as diversity). We wonder now what this park looks like during the rain season...
Curiosity : due to a flat tyre we were late at the gate to leave the park. In spite of clear evidence (pictures and the spare wheel in place) the guards rewarded him with a 300 US $ fine (taken care of by Sunny Safaris). My conclusion is that the gate keepers of Serengeti are wild animals as well...
