Is the Serengeti the best?

The Serengeti is considered the best African safari park to see the Big Five since it is so much easier to observe them than in any other African park.

Both parks offer the Big Five; however, it will be much harder to spot the animals in Kruger due to the layout of the park with the paved roads. Animals often stay far from the roads. If you want a more adventurous safari with multiple animal sightings, Serengeti National Park is the way to go.
