All expected mammals were observed and photographed, and the birds were pretty impressive too, although I am not a specialist. Generally it was apparently quieter than other parts of The Serengeti (views of other travellers), which suited us. The exclusive use of a vehicle always helps in terms of species targeted, photographic opportunity and the capacity to avoid crowds. We hoped to see a 'River Crossing' but it wasn't to be, despite several near misses. Our main criteria for a successful camp is the potential quality of wildlife viewing available, so we don't get too excited about swimming pools, wi-fi provision etc. In fact it is, to us quite nice to leave a few creature comforts

at home, it adds to a truly authentic safari experience.We stayed at Sayari Camp which was of a very high quality in all areas and thoroughly enjoyed a 3 night stay. We will return to The Serengeti soon to hopefully witness a 'River Crossing'. The Serengeti certainly lives up to it's reputation as one of the world's top wildlife destinations, a remarkable eco-system.

Amazing Serengeti.
A well maintained park with teeming wildlife. Roads are very rough and dusty. Toilets and lunch areas well maintained and clean . No off road allowed so areas are in good condition. Great weather.

Wow- it really is fantastic. I only knocked the birding because, like Ngorongoro, it takes a lot of effort to go birding here if you really want to rack up the species. But there are fantastic birds like bustards, Secretarybirds, zillions of eagles and storks, etc.

Nature at its best!
This was our first safari. We did first Lake Manyara, then Serengeti, and finally Ngorongoro. I think this is the best sequence.
Serengeti is huge! Distances are long, so if you are expecting a zoo-like experience with an animal at any corner, you will be disappointed. We spent two full days and spotted lots of lions, zebras, wildebeests, antilopes, elephants, buffalos, ... No rhinos, but I don't think they are present in the Serengeti. On top of that the scenery ("Serengeti" means "large plains" in Swahili) is absolutely wonderful. Spotting a lion atop a "kopje" is unforgettable!
More crowded than Lake Manyara, but much, much less than Ngorongoro.

once is not enough!!
After visiting South African private game in 2013, we decided to go for the top ... and the difference is evident!! Documentary scene every single day! we did not experience a kill but we saw a total of 50 lions, 2 leopards and 2 cheethas in our 3 game drive .. plus all the other animals which at the end were "almost" boring .. but never so because seeing 50 elephants or 200 zebras or 100 buffalos together is something that we did not see in South African private game ... they simply do have that many!
we did the North Parks of Tanzania in 5 days but next time we will spend the Whole time in Serengeti .. trying to catch the Migration.
Amazing Amazing Amazing!!

I'm not sure what needs to be said about the Serengeti - it is just an incredible part of our planet! The vastness of the Serengeti plains is just something that must be seen to appreciate. Pictures and videos don't do it justice. We saw some fantastic things - from a lioness coming out of water and stalking a herd of Zebra, to a female cougar and 3 cubs eating the remains of an Impala that had been killed just a few moments before we arrived. While we weren't able to see a lot of the migration (we arrived as the larger herds were already a bit too far north to see), we did see a lot of wildebeest and zebra migrating, and overall were very happy with the wildlife we were able to see. The amount of lions we saw far exceeded our expectations - we probably saw 5 or 6 mating couples, and several prides.

Number 1 Spot Serengeti National Park
A hidden paradise. It is such an amazing place that makes you want to leave the civilised world for good.
We stayed at Lamai Serengeti Lodge for 4 days and it was very near Serengeti National Park.
Everyday I wish there is no ending. The Game viewing at the park is endless. I saw the migration of wildebeest & Zebras, different cats, group of Elephants, Group of Giraffes, Spotted Rhinos (Please let's save them!), beautiful birds, Thomson's gazelle, group of Hippopotamus & Crocodiles, etc.
After Serengeti National Park we headed to Ngorongoro National Park for another 4 days.
Ngorongoro is beautiful and has its own characteristics but Serengeti is even more beautiful because it gives you the real touch of WILD AFRICAN SAFARI.
First week of July 2015. It was the best time for us, not so crowded, temperature is fantastic, not so dusty, bushes

not that tall and you can easily spot the animals. We also had an unforgettable close encounter with 3 male lions while our car didn't have any window at all ( It was terrifying & fun experience).We would like to praise our Guide and Lamai Serengeti Staff for providing us an unforgettable vacation in Serengeti.
To our Guide, he was extremely knowledgeable and always very polite and we learnt a lot from him. He is one of the best guide we've ever seen. I think he is a very valuable asset to Nomad Tanzania Company
