Grumeti River Crossing Safari
From $3,450 per person (based on 2 travelers sharing)
Duration: 8-9 days
In June and July, the Great Migration reaches the Grumeti River in western Serengeti — the dramatic opening act of the river-crossing season. Massive wildebeest herds gather at crocodile-filled waters before attempting their first crossings, creating intense and photogenic wildlife encounters.
This safari explores the remote western corridor and the predator-rich plains of Central Serengeti for a complete migration experience with fewer crowds than Mara season.
Ideal for photographers and travelers seeking raw migration drama in a quieter setting.
