- In this travel video I'm journeying to the world-famous Serengeti National Park in Northern Tanzania, famed for the great wildebeest migration and for its high density of big cats. However, there are a couple of things I really wish I knew before visiting which I'm sharing with you today to ensure you have a smooth safari.

Enjoying your videos! What month did you go?
This was filmed in late November
Those huge elephants are incredible! How old are they?
The big ones could be around 40 or 50 years old
Well come to bharat
Hi Which one you liked more, Masai mara or Serengeti?
That's such a difficult question! They're both surprisingly different. I like the landscape in the Serengeti more and the fact that there's a lot less cars at each sighting - one thing that bothers me about the Masai Mara is the fact that so many cars go off-road and get way too close to the animals. But I've had some of my best ever sightings in the Masai Mara and I love how the guides know the animals and their territories so well. They both have their pros and cons and I honestly love them both! What I would say though is unless you're visiting for 2 weeks or more, it isn't worth visiting both of them as the journey between them is too big.
Good experience at forest
Thank you for watching!
@@EllaMcKendrick are you from
In Kenya, Amboseli National Park is considered Home Of The African Elephants.
when was this trip done if i may ask ?
This was in late November 2023
What month did you visit?
I visited in late-November
is there a continent beautiful like africa?
It's my favourite continent 🫶
When you coming bharat india
And then you have the costof transport too - so 300 usd is more realistic... pr day pr person
Yes, the cost of the vehicle + guide can be anywhere from $200 to $350 per day
Hallo.At the end of the world*where the ocean starts ,as the ancient Greeks believed*they are the grate National Parks.At Masai Mara ,the Masai ....*,at Serengeti the Elephants.....As I remember Kilimantzaro is between the two countries*north and east at Serengeti.....Bye.
Thank you for watching!
Did you need to show proof of yellow fever vaccination when you crossed over from Kenya into Tanzania?
Yes I did - sorry I forgot to mention this!
So, what exactly is 'The Truth About a Serengeti Safari'? The title somehow implies that one is lured to the Serengeti with certain expectations and then the experience falls short or doesn't exactly match said expectations, in a rather disappointing manner. I was waiting for you to elaborate on that in the video. And what exactly are the 5 things one should know?
First time visitors to the Serengeti often don't know anything about distances, different prices, planning their itineraries etc so this video does into detail on that. I sure wish I'd known these things before my trip - it would have made it go a lot smoother
@@EllaMcKendrick I don't mean to belabour the point, but the title somehow implies that there is some kind of 'truth' to the Serengeti that (first time) visitors aren't aware of. Nearly a warning of sorts... And what are the 5 things exactly? Or is it just clickbait? Also, it would have been useful to point out that most people do not start their Serengeti safari with a rather strenuous drive from the Masai Mara. The vast majority start from inside Tanzania in Arusha / Kilimanjaro and the roads are excellent and the transfer can be quite enjoyable. I understand you did your trip a certain way and your videos need to reflect that but if anyone wants to visit the Serengeti I would always recommend they start from within Tanzania. So, you really didn't know any of these things you describe before your first trip? You obviously don't owe me an explanation personally, but I was just surprised to see some of these things from someone who acts as an expert giving advice on the matter.

Omg, 20 minutes of video just to say that kenya and tanzania are not the same country and you have to cross at the designated border (duh) and that in every park you have to pay a different park fee. Enlightening. And you never mention that instead of driving you can fly, if you are a solo traveller it's even cheaper than driving.
Perhaps you know a lot about the Serengeti but many first-time visitors don't know about the different park fees or how vast the park is, driving times, transfer fees etc. This video is designed to help those people have a smooth trip to the Serengeti. Flying is an option but it's outside most people's budget range and isn't straightforward either as unless you charter a plane (very expensive option) you can't fly directly from the Mara to the Serengeti. You have to take 2 flights (Mara to Migori and then Tarime to Seronera or Kogatende in Serengeti) and drive 30 minutes between the different airports in between the flights. I also am not getting the same prices as you with the flights. Each flight is ~$300 per person so ~$600 per person to fly from the Mara to the Serengeti as you need to take 2 flights. This is much more expensive than driving which costs $350 at the high end (car and driver included in that price).
@@EllaMcKendrick nowadays there's a magic tool that nevertheless too many people forget to use. It's called: GOOGLE. Why waste 20 minutes watching a video instead of 5 seconds of a google search, that is the real question.
Anyone may vist to Tanzania, where the wonders of world creator, left his wild animals the big and smallest one and so many amazing things
Tanzania is such an incredible country 🫶
