Our third photo safari to Tanzania took place in May 2011. Of the three, this was the most spectacular trip. Besides the scenic splendor of the location we spent more intimate time with the wildlife than previous trips including two leopard cubs frolicking on their own a few meters from our vehicle for two hours and ours was the only vehicle in sight. We also spent over two hours with a pride of 37+ lions, 17 of which were small cubs. The accommodations were exceptional. Our guide had been involved in rhino research at Serengeti National Park for 13 years prior to becoming a guide and was beyond belief in his knowledge and experience. Other than a rain storm that made the dirt roads slippery and almost impassable, the weather was just what we expected for that time of year, NICE! Will we go back? The next trip is already planned for 2013.

We stayed in Central Serengeti in June while the migration was also taking place in this area. Very impressive. We stayed there for 10 days and therefore also had days when the migration had already passed through the area. Those days it was not easy to spot the wild animals. Overall I expected to see more cheetahs, elephants and leopards. There is no shortage of lions, but here too we were always there with easily 70 other cars, all moving continuously to see the lions just a little better and tourists shouting at the animals. Not the relaxing and romantic safari that I am used to from private parks in, for example, Namibia or even the national parks in Zambia. The roads are dramatic even though you pay a large fee to enter the park and the rest camps are places where you really don't stop for fun.
I have the feeling that they can also make the roads much more 'romantic'. Sometimes you have a beautiful river, but you don't see anything because the road goes in the completely opposite direction. The Masai Mara does this much better.
Overall I also thought the guides were very poor. They pushed the animals too much and often locked them in.
Overall, I would rather spend my money on a safari in Zambia, Namibia or Kenya, for example.

Serengeti is amazing. Its a beautiful park, amazing landscape, animals are respected and wildlife is there, in your face. I stayed in a camp inside the park and it was the best decision i could have made.

Just amazing. the scenery, the amount and veriaty of wildlife, the closeness of the animals, the interactions between the animals, all unforgettable. it is not a surprise that you see footage from the Serengeti in almost every nature documentary. visiting this place actually is that special and beautiful.

Words cannot do it justice. You have to see it to believe it - the sheer amount of animals is something I never thought I'd see. The hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti as the sun rises is something that you must do.

Watching a wildlife documentary growing up I couldn’t wait to the Serengeti in real life and it didn’t disappoint, it was a privilege to be part of the circle of life.
