Safari summary
This 4-day Western Serengeti Wildebeest Migration starts from Arusha at 6:00 a.m. and takes you to the amazing places in Serengeti National Park including Central Serengeti, Seronera Area, and Western Corridor below the Grumeti River where you will see over 2.8 millions of wildebeest and zebras. The Great Wildebeest Migration is the largest single movement of wild animals in the world, deservedly listed as one of its eight natural wonders, and an exceptional inspiration for a dream tour.
Within this region, a significant population of wildebeests remains year-round, eschewing migration. During periods of the Mbalageti River's dryness, the Grumeti River sustains pools, drawing in thousands of mammals, while buffalos and hippos tend to stay close to water sources. The private Grumeti Reserve harbors a variety of rare and exquisite creatures, including black and white Colobus monkeys in woodlands alongside elusive, swift Patas monkeys. This Northern Tanzanian safari destination offers awe-inspiring concentrations of diverse fauna, including impala, topi, reedbuck, waterbuck, Coke's hartebeest, roan antelope, buffalo, and elephant, each numbering in the hundreds during your African Mecca safari vacation.
Around the end of April, May, and June, a colossal wildebeest migration, joined by zebras, elands, and gazelles, congregates in the Western Corridor of the Serengeti, below the Grumeti River. Pursued by lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas from behind and confronted by enormous Nile crocodiles ahead, numerous individuals succumb during the river crossing, while others opt for a detour. Yet, the unending beauty of the landscape beneath the boundless sky, witnessed during a Serengeti West Safari, alters the observer's perception, fostering a heightened awareness of humanity's place within the intricate drama of the animal kingdom.
