 Lounge and Bar area @Seronera
Wildlife Lodge by jackfruit
If you are lucky, you can view lots of wildlife from your hotel room window. We saw plenty of impala frolicking at dusk just outside our room. Hotel also screens movies in the lounge area after dinner. We saw a wonderful and informative documentary on the Serengeti Cheetah. The hotel also has tribal dance shows a few times a week. Hot air baloon safaris can be arranged through the hotel desk. Theme: HotelPrice: US$40-80 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: Serengeti Natl Park, Tanzania

The volcano and surrounding landscape are part of a vast conservation area inhabited by the Maasai tribe. Most guest-rooms have private terraces, which have spectacular views of the crater floor.
Activities include tours of the crater floor, excursions to the nearby Olduvai Gorge, the 'birthplace of mankind', Maasai dancing and choir performances. Theme: Other

Seronera is a well organized camp site in the bush, with a house for cooking and dining. We were alone there, and had a nice, quiet evening. That is, we thought we were alone. The next morning we met our next door neighbours! We were told that lions don't like the smell of humans and avoid us if they can. The wind must have been blowing in the wrong direction that night, then, since a whole family of lions had camped the night just a couple of hundred meters away from us :-)
It is in the midst of it! Theme: Campground

 Serengeti Sopa Lodge
Restaurant by Myndo
Located on a small hill in the serengeti, so you have a nice overview over the landscape. With binoculars you can continue your wild-watching in the evening.
Very good restaurant included..
That hill may not be high, but the drive up can be murderous for some vehicles. Ours only managed it after a decent run-up.
On the picture you see the view from the Restaurant. We really liked it. Theme: HotelComparison: about average

 Ndutu Special Campsite by Bonobo2005
Camping is a thrilling experience, when you know that hyena's and sometimes lions wander around your tent and you hear the howling and the roaring at night!
We stayed on Ndutu Special Campsite, a beautiful spot close to Lake Ndutu and we were actually the only one staying there.
We decided to stay here because huge numbers of animals were in the area at that very moment, so that we didn't lose time during our gamedrives.
We started the drive at 6AM, a great time to start! Theme: CampgroundPrice: US$20-40 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: South East Serengeti

 the lodges bar by tompt
The Seronera Wildlife Lodge is a masterpiece of architecture, built around koppies (round rocks) with the rocks integrated in the buildings. The restaurant and bar have a special atmosphere with the rockwalls and the occasional lizard passing by.
The guestrooms are all located in a ring around the central reception and bar/restaurant. The rooms are spacious and clean and all have a view on the open plains or scrubs where the wildlife roams.

This is a general tip - before you come to the Serengeti, or even book a trip - take some time to really understand the migration's movements.
The Ndutu area is meant to be amazing in Nov-March ... I wouldn't know, I got there in September. Then it was bare and desolate - not at all what I'd expected. The game was amazingly sparse on the plains - which restricted us to viewing around the Lake Ndutu - which was OK. But overall, it was very disappointing.
So before anyone goes to the Serengeti - take some time to understand the migration and how it moves.
Probably the best site I've found on doing this is the moving map and text at: http://www.expertafrica.com/country_info/Tanzania/Serengeti_migration.htm

This is a wonderful place to stay if you would like to interact with the Masaii. The camp is clean and the service is great. It is a permanent tent camp with basically an out door bathroom that is attached to your large tent. I would call it camping, but at the highest level possible.
An opportunity to truly interact with the Masaii is quite unique, since the only other way you will be able to is to visit a village, which is a bit contrived. It is also near to the Olduvai Gorge, where they first discovered early signs of man. Theme: OtherPrice: US$120-180 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: Olduvai

 Ali and Matt in the Serengeti
National Park by kentishgirl
This is a very basic campsite, it has no facilities to speak of except a long drop toilet, no showers - take plenty of wet wipes and prepare to be smelly for a few days! LOL...
Whats Unique? Well, you are sleeping under the stars amongst the animals of the Serengeti. Its incredibly safe, just dont have any food in your tent.
At night here it gets quite cold, I had a few layers on! We had a big camp fire and ate a dinner of rice and warthog (poor lil warthogs!)
Just fall asleep listening to the animals all around.
