About
About Grumeti Western Serengeti.
Tanzania's western corridor, where the migration crosses the Grumeti River in May, June, and early July. Quieter than the northern crossings and rich in resident game year round. Classic kopje country, strong cat density, and far fewer vehicles than the central plains.
