Destinations to be visited

Arusha, Tarangire National Park, Central Serengeti, North Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara National Park

With this 8 days Grumeti and wildebeest migration safari, a Grumeti safari involves more than just wildlife, though. The majority of the alternative safari activities, most of which are not permitted in the main reserve, include guided nature walks, night drives, and hot-air ballooning. Guides are authorized to drive off-road for up-close wildlife sightings. Mix a traditional big game safari with secluded luxury lodging. Privately owned Singita Grumeti Reserves, which border the Western Serengeti and are located directly on the path of the wildebeest migration, provide guests exclusive access to the activity.

All the large predators, including lions, hyenas, crocodiles, cheetahs, and leopards, may be seen in plenty throughout the year, but if you visit during the migration, you’ll get to see dramatic river crossings and lots of predator-prey interaction.
Throughout the year, a Grumeti safari is gratifying, but during the Migration months of June and July, when enormous herds of wildebeest gather to cross the crocodile-infested Grumeti River on their way back to Kenya’s Masai Mara, there is no season when it is more so.
