A study of more than 3,000 reviews from safari
adventurists and industry experts from Lonely Planet, Rough Guides and
other guidebooks all agree: Serengeti National Park in Tanzania is the
best in all of Africa.
SafariBookings.com,
an online marketplace for African safaris, set out to put to rest the
question of which park was best for African safaris. Serengeti National
Park in Tanzania came out on top, which was no surprise to safari
enthusiasts. The study reports, after analyzing 3,008 reviews by both
safari travelers and top experts in the field, that Serengeti was the
clear winner.
A total of 2,234 reviews were contributed by safari tourists
from 63 countries. The remaining 774 park reviews were written by
renowned experts, including guidebook authors associated with Lonely
Planet, Rough Guides, Frommer’s, Bradt and Footprint.
The study revealed the Serengeti received an overall rating of
4.91 out of 5 stars. This was the highest score amongst all parks, and
thus the Serengeti was crowned Africa's Best Safari Park.
To add weight to this outcome, safari tourists who visited
multiple parks rated the Serengeti an astonishing 16% higher than any
other park. The industry experts also rated Serengeti highest. Their
reviews tend to be more critical, as they can compare Serengeti to a
host of parks they've visited in various countries. Regardless,
Serengeti came out on top, justifying its first place ranking all the
more.
When asked why Serengeti is such a desired safari destination, several repetitive themes emerged: the annual Great Migration (hosting over 2.5 million wildebeest and zebra), top wildlife viewing year-round and endless grass plains that feel like authentic Africa. Also contributing to the choice was Serengeti’s distinction as one of the best places to see most predators including lions, and thousands of wildebeest cross crocodile infested rivers. In addition, visits to the park can be easily combined with other top-class parks of Tanzania.
