The Serengeti is a huge park, full of wildebeest (I was there during the Great Migration) and zebras. Every now and then, a rock formation stands out against the landscape, sheltering groups of lions or a cheetah.
It takes several days to explore, and it can be a wonderful experience to sleep in a tented camp inside the park.
One word of caution: avoid the Great Migration. It's certainly a unique event, but unfortunately, it attracts too many tourists. I found myself watching the crossing of the Mara River along with at least 50 other cars. Only the closest five or six could see anything; everyone else could only see the roofs of their cars.

Road very rough and could benefit from grading

Beautiful. Controlled burns across the Serengeti made it more difficult to see the animals. Migration of Wildabeasts and zebras was great.

It didn't have that wow factor you'd expect from reading about it or watching TV documentaries. Wildlife depends a lot on where the great migration is at the moment. You will still see animals (leopards, gepards, hyena, elefants, giraffe, gazelle, hippo) but not in abundance if you are not at the right spot. Also there are lots of tourist cars.

Wide, bumpy roads, animal migration, climbing lions, millions of Zebras and Gnus

OK but rushed around in circles to kill time

The scenic beauty of the Serengeti is fantastic. And you can see a lot of animals.

The only thing I didn't like are the roads. Hundreds of kilometer just dust. With good cars and a modern air condition it would be ok - but in those safari cars you WANT to open tthe roof top and see everything :-)

(My driver had a chronical cough - just because he had to inhale this dust for weeks and months)

Saw migration which was superb. Saw a lot of wildlife but the lions, lionesses, leopards, cheetahs were hardly any, more should be introduced since it is a huge national park.
