We spent 4 nights in Central Serengeti (Seronera is Central) at Tortilis Serengeti (which we loved, see other review) and with our driver-guide, Freddy, who was amazing and all arranged for us by Easy Travel. We saw so many lions here! One day we saw the zebras migrating across the Eastern section of this portion on their way to Ndutu with the wildebeest for the wildebeest birthings in Jan-Feb. Serengeti, which means "infinite plain" is a beatiful landscape in itself, endless plains with the occasional boulder pile reminiscent of Lion King's Pride Rock. The varying trees that begin small, then get larger as you move away from the plains. Bathroom facilities are pretty frequent and very nice in this area and the picnic locations are also very nice, although a box lunch in the vehicle lets you eat while watching lions napping under a tree! We saw almost 100 lions in this region and between here and the park entrance, one day there were two lionesses and 7 cubs in a tree...until they went down to chase a warthog family, which we couldn't see since they went away from the road. Hippos were plentiful and easy to see. Crocs were usually somewhere nearby. Giraffes were a daily sighting, we saw elephants once near a campground, and a highlight was a tree with three leopard cubs in it! A truly amazing time...but you've got to enjoy the landscape and delight in the foliage and bugs as well in order to be very entertained here when it's not the migration. This was perfect for us, but not for little kids, they'd likely get bored between big sightings. We also would sit for a long period of time when we found something...which is where the box lunch was handy! And it lets you see the lions come out of the tree if you can wait a while! We highly recommend going now if you can...our biggest crowd at a sighting was the 2 lionesses and 7 cubs in the tree, there were probably 9 vehicles there, when we asked our driver how many there would be there before COVID, he said 50-80! Go now, it will never be like this again!!!!

If you visit the Mara River in the Serengeti NP at the right time of year when the Migration is in the vicinity you might be fortunate enough to see the Wildebeest crossing the river, this is one of the highlights of any wildlife enthusiasts list of things to see, there are of course other animals to see around the river and it is a super place to visit.

Our 5 day safari was amazing, we had such a wonderful time visiting Tanzania, which was punctuated with a great guide. The wildlife was amazing from the moment we entered the park gates at Serengeti National Park. Lake Manyara was a bird watchers paradise, although I wouldn't classify ourselves as 'birders'. Our overnight stay in the Serengeti at the Osupuko Tented Camp was our favourite, in the middle of the wilderness. Some days the drives were long, the roads are dusty and bumpy, but the destination was always worth it. Would definitely recommend this trip to anyone and Mgalaa Expeditions were there throughout our planning stages answering any questions we had and accommodating our requests as best as they could.

Biggest hippo numbers I have seen outside the Nile. Such a joy to watch especially the cutest babies that stuck right next to their mothers side.

It is a nice experience to view the Hippos and crocodile from the top of the bridge and it is so funny to have great photos of the migration when they made their crossing through .. I love the western corridor
6. Naabi Hill

We stopped here for exit from Serengeti and to take our entry permit to Ngorongoro. While getting all the process done, the Naabi Hill offers get view of the endless Beautiful Serengeti; this short climb is so easy for anyone to climb and a great view to see the NDUTU area which is the calving place for wildebeest from January to mid-March.
