I have 3 weeks in February and plan to climb Mt Kili and do some safari.

Need some info for the questions below:

1. Should I do Serengeti or Masai Mara or both or somewhere else?

2. I would like to be a wildlife volunteer at one of the parks. How can I do it without having to go thru a volunteer recruitment agency (some charge higher than a safari company)?

I would stay just in Tanzania. You can visit the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Crater Highlands, Lake Manyara, Tarangire and then head to Kili.

Or you can cut a couple of them and hike Mt. Meru. It's a stunnin hike and will prepare you well for kili.

Sorry, no info on wildlife volunteering.

Agree totally with Cresti especially as you have limited time. I suspect that time limitations would also hinder your chances of finding volunteer work.

A choice between Serengeti and Maasai Mara should depend on the wildebeest migration.
In february the wildebeest are back in Serengeti for calving.
Our trip was in july 2005.

Look at the pics on my website
and enjoy your trip.
