Welcome to HU!
Not sure where to find maps, but someone will know, and I'm pretty sure you can get them as needed in Arusha.
It's ALL touristy! We did a guided tour with two other people only in Serengeti to "learn the ropes", and then did it by ourselves in Namibia and elsewhere.
Our method was to be early, and if there was a large crowd, keep going. If people are leaving somewhere, it's a good time to go in. Be PATIENT and be quiet and wait, and you'll see a lot - when the crowds are gone.
For us, 8 days isn't near enough, but I know some people think 3 is plenty. Stay until you're done, don't lock yourself into a specific length of time.
Note: You'll see balloons flying over at sunrise/set - BOOK MONTHS in advance if you want to go on one. We missed out and were annoyed - and still are!
hope that helps!
