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!!!!

Cheetah’s rock in my opinion is one of the best things you can do in Zanzibar. The conservation center with amazing ethic of doing the best they can to take care of and save the animals allows you to take a look at their work, learn unique story of each animal and become a part of their lives by feeding them or playing with. The animals you will get to see are : Lemurs, Bengal Tigers, Pumas, Otters, big Turtles, a Zebra named Chaka , Lions , Bush Babies and different Monkeys! You will be able to go and sit next to a Cheetah and take photos, play with a zebra , pet a peacock, feed lemurs , turtles, monkeys abs bush babies as well as pet a Bengal tiger (all the activities are safe!) The important info: the center offers two experiences : Otter swimming for 160 USD and a walking safari for 160 USD. It is totally worth it! ( your money goes to feeding and supporting these animals). Me and my sister have only gone to a safari and it was wonderful! VERY IMPORTANT: when you go pls wear comfortable clothes , no skirts or dresses as you might fight is hard to sit on floor etc. Also, do not wear any type of big jewelry because Mona keys are rly good at spotting it and taking some straight from you neck or hair ????. ( one of the women was wearing a floor on her hair and well, monkeys were trying hard in pulling her hair and taking the flower????...). Well, after your booking you will get all the details and PLEASE read them through , it will contain a lot of useful information and it’s not long. Moreover, all the guides in your tour speak good English , which was smth I worried about because in Zanzibar people spoke English with an accent I could not understand or didn’t speak English at all apart from two-three words. P.S. I have included some pictures of what you can definitely expect at Cheetah’s rock!

This is an amazing park and even not too crowded! Lots of animal sightings - elephants, wildebeest, lions, leopards, warthogs, antelope (Impalas, Dic-Dic, Thomson and Grand gazelles, zebras, and cape buffalo to name a few. We observed an elephant herd crossing to get to the river for a drink and they walked directly in front of our safari land cruiser. Lots of zebra and elephants. Our guide, Felix (from Nomad Tanzania) was excellent. He never rushed us through the park, but allowed us to take our time and enjoy the animals at our own pace (whether we wanted to spend time viewing them for their activities or just a quick drive by as the Impalas are numerous!). That was most appreciated. This was our first park to visit in Tanzania so I wasn't sure what to expect, but it by far exceeded expectations. The habitats vary - from wetland marshes to dry, long grassy areas to woodland savannahs. Ostriches were a pleasant surprise as well as a leopard with his "kill" lounging in a tree (it was a far distance away so we were grateful to our guide). We saw many elephants and zebra and were amazed at the instincts each displayed. Truly two days very well spent during our time in Tanzania.
8. Ngurdoto Crater

Located in Arusha National Park and off limits to humans, this verdant crater’s mossy, swampy habitat provides a natural sanctuary for elephants, buffalo and Colobus monkeys.
Reviewed By doug15johnson - Boulder, United States
Did a day trip into the crater. Plenty of wildlife activities. Do not get out of the vehicle and do not sit on the roof. Wildlife is everywhere and the lions do not pay any attention to the horde of land cruisers. The picnic area was beside a lake loaded with hippos. It was pretty busy with loads of vehicles. Weather was perfect for driving around in an open air vehicle. I would recommend this trip to anyone that wants to see a plethora of wildlife...

Fascinating museum and great to learn the story behind the Tanzanzite gemstone. I was greeted by Tabitha and she did a great job throughout the visit. I appreciated the informative and short documentary and then the replica of mine shaft and then seeing the actual raw stones, learning about the stone quality and then the jewelry prices. Overall the prices were high but was able to find some reasonable pieces. Later in the airport as I was looking in the other shops, the prices were the same, so I am glad I got my pieces here. I felt no pressure to buy anything which is always positive. Instead, it was very friendly and cordial. They even offered some cookies and coffee. Glad that I was able to finally visit as the Museum was closed on my initial day in Arusha due to the Election holiday.
