I recently travelled to Africa and bought this video prior to leaving. Not only is the video completly accurate in its portrayal of the magical Serengeti, but the cinematography is excellent. In addition, children just LOVE it! My 3 year old neice couldn't stop watching it. Disney is nothing compared to this video! I recommend it highly!!
 Below National Geographic quality October 18, 2001

If you have seen any of the many National Geographic titles on African
wildlife, you may find that IMax's Serengeti leaves a lot to be desired in
terms of story telling, focus on wildlife and scientific knowledge. IMax
movies are shot on larger than normal film to achieve very high resolution
and smoother color transitions which will only be noticable when projected
on giant movie screens. When the film is transferred to DVD and viewed
on your much more inferior and small TV (as compared to projected film),
all of the IMax advantage is totally lost. This goes for all IMax titles.
If you only want to see random scenes from animal life in the Serengeti,
you might like it. Otherwise, first consider the many National Geographic
titles about African wildlife (even on VHS) some of which have won awards.
 Great Movie - not so great picture quality June 10, 2001

This dvd was the first one I bought. It shows the vast lands of the serengeti in the most beautiful colors. You learn a lot about the animals and the nature. However, I wasn't very impressed of the picture quality. You notice that this is a DVD from the early days and it is even an old IMAX movie. But the overall impression is really positive.
Wonderfully done and in many languages. April 17, 2001

This is a beautifully produced documentary. It gives wonderful information on the history, geography, and animals of the region. It also manages to present the Masai people without using cultural stereotypes or condescension, as so many documentaries do when studying indigenous cultures. James Earl Jones is a perfect choice for the voice-over. The voice-over is available in 5 languages or with subtitles. The Spanish version is nicely done too.
