Grumeti Wildebeest Migration

Serengeti Western Corridor

Staying at Mila Tented Camp

On your arrival at Kilimanjaro airport, pass customs and transit to the domestic terminal on time for the flight to the Serengeti. Depending on your time of arrival, you might require a pre-night in Arusha, contact us for options.

Arrive at Grumeti airstrip and meet with your safari guide and private vehicle. Your 3 nights stay includes all your meals, selected beverages and unlimited game viewing. Note that there night drives are not allowed in the National park.

The Western Corridor, or Serengeti west, ìs a stretch of land following the course of the Grumeti River from Serengeti Central for about 100 kilometers out towards Lake Victoria. Both the Grumeti and Mbalageti rivers support substantial chunks of riverine forests before emptying into Lake Victoria. Also, a few minor mountain ranges are found in the area. The savannah supports substantial resident populations of giraffe, wildebeest, elephant, zebra and other typical plains animals, and lion. The little-visited open grasslands north of the river are good for cheetahs and other residents predators.

The busiest period in terms of visitors is the May-July period which coincides with the Great Migration passing through the Western Corridor on their trek to the north. While the crossing of the Grumeti River may be lesser known compared to its northern counterpart, the crossing of the Mara River, but offers sightings just as exhilarating with the added benefit of fewer fellow visitors at the crossings. The Grumeti River is the first enormous obstacle for the herds to tackle.
