The Serengeti National Park is divided into three main areas. Seronera is the most central and accessible region.

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!!!!

We had a wonderful time visiting the School of St. Jude. We were able to eat porridge with the students and participate in art and PE class. Playing in PE class with the kids was super fun! The children were very competitive and we had a blast. One of the students drew an incredible portrait of my husband in art class. He should be really proud! The school is able to provide free education to underprivileged students and it was wonderful to see how the program works. The children were all very polite and friendly. We couldn't have asked for a better visit! You should definitely visit if you are near Arusha, Tanzania.

I had the pleasure to visit Chumbe Island for the day, while touring around Zanzibar on a FAM trip. My only regret is that we didn’t have time to spend the night. Our next trip to the island I will definitely book for the overnight. I love the fact that the maximum occupancy on the island is 14! As a travel agent who specializes in travel to East Africa I have booked clients to this amazing coral reef sanctuary and they have all loved it. The eco-bungalows are not for everyone but if you’re a “get back to nature” or “nature lover” type of traveller then this is likely a place you’ll fall in love with. I have so much respect for the design of the bungalows and love how eco-friendly and “open-air” they are. The snorkelling was amazing and how could it not be?!? The entire project is centred around the protection of the marine life on the west coast of the island ???? ???????????????????????? The lunch served as part of the day trip was so tasty and the friendly staff really added to our experience. I really enjoyed the nature walk where we learned about the coconut crabs and we got to climb to the top of the lighthouse for an amazing bird’s eye view of this special island. I highly recommend for you to book at least two nights on this private island, to really enjoy the peace and quiet that is Chumbe. Day trips are only available for last minute bookings as space is limited for their overnight guests. Asante sana to the entire staff, we will definitely be back and I will continue to promote your island to my clients ????
4. Ngurdoto Crater
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 513 reviews
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...

It is a nice place for many kinds of activities. Mainly I came for kitesurfing. It is a good kite spot with some disadvantages: some obstractions like a boats in front of the beach, some seaweed farms and sea urchins which you can spot during low water time.

O. M. G. I loved it here! The beach and sand were absolutely pristine! There were minimal people on the island and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a place so beautiful in my life. The water was completely clear and see-through and there were little silver fishes jumping out of the water in the distance. An absolutely perfect setting. The beach also had a kiosk where fresh seafood was served and that was just as phenomenal as everything else in the atmosphere. It’s clean, uninhabited and an absolute paradise. I’m so glad this gem was recommended to me. It was the highlight of my visit to Tanzania, even better than Zanzibar in my opinion.

This place is so beautiful and scenic, it's on the way towards Moshi from Arusha in the middle, from highway you take a rough road heading to this lil paradise. The water is clear, warm and surrounded by trees.. Best place to get a dip into water and relax yourself.. Bonus: you get a free pedicure as the tiny lil fish come towards you to clean the dead skin away from you.. (you don't need to spend alot of money ???? on fish spa) - it's safe.. Worry out!! Perfect way to go on a day trip, advise you to head on morning to afternoon to enjoy the place without the place getting too crowded.
