Grumeti Adventure: 6-Day Western Serengeti Migration Safari

SAFARI SNAPSHOT

This unique safari zeroes in on the Grumeti River region of the Western Serengeti — where the migration herds funnel through narrow river crossings guarded by massive crocs. It’s less crowded than the Mara River and perfect for off-beat migration action.

Best Time: May to June
