7-Day Western Serengeti Wildebeests Migration May-July

Trip Overview

This 7-day safari focuses on the Western Serengeti during the Great Wildebeest Migration from May to July. It offers a unique opportunity to explore one of the world’s most famous wildlife destinations, Serengeti National Park, known for its vast landscapes and incredible concentration of animals.

During this period, millions of wildebeest, accompanied by large herds of zebras and other antelopes, move across the plains in search of fresh grazing. This journey follows a natural and seasonal pattern driven by rainfall.

The highlight of this safari is the Western Corridor, where the migrating herds face the challenge of crossing the Grumeti River. Here, dramatic scenes unfold as crocodiles lie in wait, making the crossing both thrilling and unpredictable.

This safari offers an unforgettable experience of the Great Migration in one of its most intense and fascinating stages.
