It was here that we saw cheetahs, as well as lions hunting but our most memorable site was watching two giraffes boxing in slow motion with their heads! The Katikati Camp was very nice in all respects. Amusing having the elephant right outside our tent door and not an inconvenience that he broke the plumbing. I especially enjoyed seeing the hyena's eyes while being walked back from dinner.
Our final sunset in the Serengeti displayed extraordinary God's Rays. Many of the animals had already migrated so the numbers were down, but there was a variety and they were easy to spot with the low grass.

Serengeti has wide open expanses of grasslands with rock islands and forests, where we found our only two leopards of the trip. Out on the plains there were thousands of gazelles and many warthogs, giraffes, and elephants, along with two serval cats, many lions, and two cheetahs. We were lucky enough to witness a lion hunting a buffalo, and many hippos. You must sleep at the tented camp, where there is breathtaking views, hot chocolate, and a comfortable place to sleep. At night, a massive herd of wildebeest ran past our tent, along with hyenas on the prowl. This was a very neat experience.
Saw everything I could have hoped to see. Absolutely incredible!
Everything from the campground to the transportation was excellent. Our driver was great and the state of the park was fantastic. Saw pretty much every animal that is native to the area and walked away with some fantastic photos. Highlight was definitely the family of cheetahs.

Our safari experience can be summed up in Wild, Beautiful, Dangerous, Peaceful, Delicious
We traveled with Thomson Safaris and stayed in their tented camps. The camp accommodations were first rate and the camp staff, food, fellow travelers, guides, etc. were amazing. They really made the trip enjoyable. We were usually out on our game drives by 8am and didn't usually return until after 5pm, so we got tons of game viewing and were able to sit still for extended periods of time to just watch the animals interact. The elephants were the best.
One reason we chose Tanzania for our safari was to see the Serengeti. It was so vast; we only saw a tiny part of it and still what we saw was immense. We were lucky in that the Wildebeest herds had moved north into the Seronera region of the park because of rains that had come just before we arrived. That was a bonus, being surrounded by hundreds of thousands of animals.
The Thomson guides were excellent. We had 13 people in our group split among 3 Rovers and all 3 guides were amazing.

a must see, one of a kind, precious place. it will change your life
Serengeti is an incredible safari destination. It is extremely rugged and the roads can be terribly muddy in the rainy season, but it adds to the authenticity of the experience. Here, I was lucky enough to see a mother leopard with two newborn cubs, as well as a serval and a caracal, and a crocodile. The variety of wildlife you can find here is unparalleled. I would highly recommend this to everyone who visits Tanzania.
Serengeti is really the quintessential safari destination. Although it can get crowded on occasions, there's a good reason for that. Lions, leopards, elephants, Serengeti has it all!

The Serengeti experience was a nice change from the Ngorongoro Crater. The vegetation and the landscapes provided a different background for the wildlife. We saw a group of elephants grazing in the savannah which was breathtaking. The vastness of the Serengeti was amazing from the Hot Air Balloon ride we took (Serengeti Balloon Safaris) and one of the highlights of our 2-week stay. We ate a traditional English breakfast underneath an iconic acacia tree which was just incredible. The people, the sites, the wildlife were amazing. It was a trip of a lifetime.
