Serengeti National Park

Spectacular.

The most of all animals we wanted, and the particular immigration moments...

Do Serengeti and forget the rest !!!

We did Serengeti after we did Masai Marah.I had a lot of expectations from Masai Marah but it could have been better.We were seeing a million of Wildebeest and strangely there were dead Wildebeest in every corner of the Park.It was an indication that many which had migrated from serengeti have died here said the guide!It meant the carnivores are well fed.Our chances of seeing kill sequences was not great !But we did shoot a failed hunt by two lionesses at mara and i missed the Croc pulling down a baby Zebra during the famous river crossing as my VideoCamera was focussed with full zoom on another Zebra which was actually supposed to be gobbled up!!

Then comes Serengeti!The Wildlife doesnt hit your face like Masai Marah but there are many many cats in central serengeti.The park was crowded.We shot 9 Hunt sequences in 4 days.All failures:(One was so close-" i could have caught that Zebra" but the teenage male lion with a messy mane made a mess of it:P .In the end again bad luck struck us.There was apparently a Topi which was sleeping while standing (Topis sleep in standing position,they startle like us humans from sleep and start running!)This Topi was taken down by a group of lionesses in a swift pace .We arrived 3 seconds late on the scene :( Serengeti was a beautiful experience but we were unlucky ...Terribly unlucky and stupid of me with my camera .I had to bear some frustration from my better half as i missed the shot were the Zebra was gobbled by the croc in Mara !

Serengeti is the crown jewel of Tanzania's safaris. Vast rolling plains. Great photography. All manner of wildlife and birds. Ngorongoro gets close, and you will actually have an easier time encountering wildlife in Ngorongoro simply because of the ecological density, but nothing compares to your first sunset in the Serengeti as you come across a family of elephants. Magical.

The greatest wildlife show on earth

Serengeti National Park is the crown jewel of all major national parks in Africa. Nowadays you will find many parks, conservation areas and private sanctiaries throughout Africa attempting to lure you to see "Wild Africa". But there is nothing compared to the original Serengeti. Serengeti has been around since the dawn of time and it was a national park hosting the greatest wildebeest migration in Africa long before any other parks in Africa even knew what Safari Tourism was. If you want to experience wild life at its raw natural self in the original form then you must go and see Serengeti National Park in Tanzania.

One of the great safari destinations with several locations that allow off-road access.

Abundant wildlife - like being dropped into a National Geographic special

Great variety of wildlife! I have visited this park on two occasions.

I had read that November was not the best time to visit most parks in Tanzania but was pleasantly surprised. I saw pretty much every animal i had been told I could see at this park in reasonable numbers. The weather was dry and sunny with a cool breeze during drives. The guide was amazing, the staff at the company Sandland Tours were an example in superuior customer service even in the most basic conditions and I wished I could be on safari forever.

Must visit at least once in a lifetime!

The Serengeti eco system which spans Tanzania and Kenya, is one of the two large national parks in East Africa (Tsavo being the other). All the major game animals are in abundance - elephants, lions, cheetahs, leopards, buffalos, rhinos, hyenas, giraffes, zebras, warthogs, wildebeests, and a wide variety of other antelopes, as well as many different kinds of birds and lizards. Rhinos are probably the hardest to find, as their numbers have dwindled alarmingly.
