4 Days Migration Safari – Western Corridor
Explore Tours
Overview
Embark on an unforgettable 4-day migration safari through the Western Corridor of the Serengeti, one of the most dramatic locations of the Great Wildebeest Migration. By the end of April, the migration spreads westward towards Seronera (Central Serengeti) and the Western Corridor. From April to May, large herds can be seen around Seronera and its southern plains, before shifting towards the Western Corridor in June.
The Western Corridor is a narrow stretch of land extending from Seronera to the Western Serengeti National Park border. Here, the Grumeti River crossing presents one of the most thrilling moments of the migration, where wildebeest must navigate crocodile-infested waters. Witnessing this crossing is a matter of timing and luck, making this safari an exhilarating experience.
