Excellent Safari for first timers iand when done with Ngorongoro its worth a first time safari. IF you ever have to do two safaris in Tanzania only these are them, plan five days at least to achive maximum bang! My preference is to stay in karatu (outside )then go to safari national parks. This place is Vast!Fees have increased tremendously over the last year its not funny!

Three friends & I booked a private safari and visited the Masai Mara (3 days), the Serengeti (3 days -- 1 in the western area & 2 in central area), Ngorongoro Crater (1 day), and Tarangire (2 days). Without a doubt, our favorite area was the Central Serengeti -- although it didn't have the masses of wildebeest and zebra as the Masai Mara (since the Great Migration was in the Mara during that time), the sheer variety of wildlife and animal interactions in the central Serengeti was astounding.
In our two days in the central Serengeti, we saw two cheetah hunts (both unsuccessful), five leopards (including a mother with two teenage cubs in a tree), ostrich dancing & mating (not to be missed), hippos fighting in the Retina hippo pool, and so much more. The other safari areas were wondeful as well, but the central Serengeti was the real highlight and highly recommended, any time of the year. However make sure you have a great guide as our Tanzanian guide had

so much more bird & wildlife knowledge than our Kenyan guide, and that made a huge difference in the enjoyment of our trip.

Serengeti is one of the most famous National Parks in the world. It offers a big variety of animals. We saw Leopards, elephants, buffaloes, different birds, giraffes, gepards, mongooses, hippos and so on.
