Rank : 9.8 (average on 8 votes)

Coordinates : -2.449205,34.694824 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : The classics of Savannah. Leopards, cheetahs, lions, elephants, hyenas, hippos, baboons, zebras, Wildebeest, Gazelles thomson, Dik Dik, Marmotte and you can take pictures of hunting scenes. You can also photograph many species of birds. The Serengeti is a huge plain, but this does not exclude the possibility of suggestive photographs of landscapes. Frequent to see and photograph tornadoes.

Recommended equipment : Fixed optics with teleconverter or a telephoto (at least 500mm). Can not get out of the jeep so difficult to mount a tripod. All jeeps sun roof, we recommend a bean bag to support the objective in the case of strong wind (very likely).

Best months : I have been in September, fairly dry season. Never a rainy day but quite barren territory. During the rainy season you can see the serengeti in all its splendor. In July, you can see the wildebeest migration.

How to get there : I have moved this way and it was quite cheap. Flight from Rome to Dar es salaam, with a stopover in Istanbul. Approximately € 400 (round trip). From Dar es Salaam to Moshi town at the foot of the Kilimanjaro and Kilimanjaro Express coach. It 's the company slightly more expensive but definitely more reliable. Are about 10 hours of travel, an odyssey in the streets ... but very charming. From Moshi you can book the Safari as well as from Arusha. The Lonely Planet recommends Arusha because closest (about 1 hour) to the main parks. I left from Moshi with a company called vivaafricatours (http://www.vivaafricatours.com). Alfred and his staff very friendly, prepared and available! DO NOT TRUST the people you propote tour just got off the bus, contact the agencies already before leaving. The Safari cost about 100-120 dollars per day inclusive of all, driving, car, access to parks, meals (excluding gratuities, mandatory driving - $ 30 per day). Tips are basically the salary of the guide are very knowledgeable and will make you truly live the way these parks. Be curious and ask questions, they will be happy about this.

Visits : In the Serengeti, as in all the parks, you pay an entrance fee is already included in the cost of the Safari. If you stop to do the calculations you will realize that € 120 per day are not many. The distances are huge, you have a guide who will take care of you throughout your journey, you will have a jeep equipped food.
