Hi!!!
I'll visit the Serengeti in October; I'm planning to spend 4 nights there.
As the migration is supposed to be up north at that time of the year, would you recommend 3 nights in the north (Lobo) & 1 in central Serenegti (Seronera region)? Or 2 nights in the North & 2 in Seronera?
What are the best areas to see cheetahs in October?

Lobo is not really north, and still a 3/hr drive to true north along the border between countries in the Kogatende area. Unfortunately there are few inexpensive camps in this area. Believe the most reasonably priced at KOG would be EMC camp - Exclusive Mobile Camps - and when we were in the area this past Oct, there were no guests.
You might do better staying in Central and arranging with your guide for a daytrip w/picnic and head north.
Cheetah, don't ask me... I've only ever seen one (1) during various visits when farther north than Central. But, as with game viewing anywhere, there's never any guarantee what will be seen from day-to-day. I'm sure others have come about cheetah during their visits.
