Follow the Great Wildebeest Migration into the spectacular Western Serengeti on this unforgettable 7 – days safari through some of Tanzania’s most iconic wildlife destinations.
This safari is designed around the Western Corridor of Serengeti National Park, an important part of the annual migration route. During the migration season, large herds of wildebeest and zebra move through the region in search of fresh grazing and water, creating exceptional opportunities for wildlife viewing.
The Grumeti ecosystem is also home to resident crocodiles, lions, leopards, hyenas and other predators, making this one of the most dramatic and rewarding areas of the Serengeti.
Migration movements are seasonal and can vary from year to year depending on rainfall and grazing conditions. Our experienced safari guide will continually monitor the herds and adapt the game drives to give you the best possible opportunity to experience migration.
