You spend the whole day exploring the Western Corridor, focusing on the Grumeti River, where the migration usually gathers in May and June. This is one of the most dramatic stages of the Great Migration: wildebeest hesitating on the riverbanks, large Nile crocodiles waiting in the water, and lions and other predators watching nearby. Your guide follows the herds throughout the day to give you the best chance of seeing a crossing, although crossings can't be guaranteed. Lunch is a picnic in the bush, and you return to Kirawira Serena Camp for dinner and the night.
