Game Drive in the Western Serengeti National Park

From your camp in the Western Serengeti, your safari heads toward the Western Corridor along the Grumeti River, a region shaped by the influence of the nearby Lake Victoria. This area stands out for its lush, green landscapes, much more fertile and vibrant than other parts of the park. The Grumeti River, winding through this section, is famous for its large Nile crocodiles that sun themselves on sandbanks, waiting for the annual wildebeest migration. As the herds cross the river, the crocodiles lie in wait for a chance to strike, creating one of the most dramatic and dangerous moments in the Serengeti’s circle of life.
