It was quite a wildlife experience with lots of animals to see in their natural environment and also their natural instincts. Food and lodging quality was of a high standard. Transportation and guide was very good

Serengeti is awesome, but...

I've always had a dream of going on a safari in Africa. In 2014 I finally had the chance to do so, and I got to spend three days in Serengeti and Ngorongoro.

First of all, Serengeti is huge. Much bigger than I expected. We had to drive for a while to even get there, and when we got there, we drove more. And more. And more. Searching for wildlife. I thought the animal density would be bigger than it was, but was actually surprised in a positive way to find out it wasn't. Didn't want to think I was in a zoo either.

The first animal we spotted was actually the animal we didn't expect to see; a leopard. Sitting there, on his own, in the middle of the plain, surrounded by 20-30 safari vehicles. This is probably the thing that "ruins" the safari experience the most; all the people that surrounds the animals at all times, specially if you spot one of the great 5.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime-experience to get the chance
Read more to sleep in a tent in the middle of the Serengeti. We could hear the animals make noises not very far away, and I just waited for a lion or a hyena to come over an knock on my tent door. Actually, in Ngorongoro, I had to get through a flock of zebras to get to the toilet. Not something you get to do everyday!

What you have to do while you're in Serengeti is to take a hot air balloon ride. You start early in the morning, mayube 4 am, and get to see the sunrise from up in the air while the animals below you just look at you. It is a truly amazing experience!

All in all; safari is a great experience. I spotted every animal I wanted to see, except from the cheetah.

Maybe next time. I'm not done with Africa. Not at all.

Number 1 Spot Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park is no doubt was truly a different experience.
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
Read more 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

Serengeti is beautiful to visit but it is quite large. So to spot animals you need time or you need to be lucky. Game drives are a bit tiring but it is all worth it. I would definitely come back and stay more. Wildlife is enchanting.

Endless plains, short and long grass, Acacia trees. distant mountains, kopjes, and thousands of wildebeest and zebras migrating. Add lions, gazelles, giraffes, elephants, Kori Bustards, Secretary birds, leopard tortoise, and the occasional leopard in a tree and it's hard to beat. The road is horrible, so prepare to a jarring ride. But you'll stop frequently to view the animals and scenery, so don't worry.

a very large National Park
possibility to rest in the park near the animals
possibility to see the Great Migration in a large part of the year (not in August, the animals were at Masai Mara National Park)

The Safari was memorable but the park is expansive and one needs more than a few days there.

The wildlife was great with a spectacular number of wildebeast and zebra. There were many lions as well but they all seemed pretty content just lazing around. Didn't see many young, but we may be early in the season. The scenery was ok, but it's mainly just plains. The weather was almost perfect....not too hot, not too cold. The camps are varied in services and amenities so make sure you do your homework. They range from camps with no running water to the Four Seasons.

Visit the park's Serengeti is a bit like leaving for a few days the entire world and immerse themselves in Eden. Yes, this is my idea of paradise. I loved everything about this park, from stunning landscapes to wildlife.
