Witness the Great Migration Crossings
From June to October, Grumeti becomes the stage for one of Africa’s most thrilling wildlife events—the river crossings. Thousands of wildebeest and zebras plunge into the Grumeti River, battling strong currents and lurking crocodiles. This is raw, untamed nature at its most dramatic, offering once-in-a-lifetime photo and viewing opportunities. -
Exclusive Guided Game Drives
Explore the sweeping plains with expert guides who will track lions, leopards, cheetahs, and large herds of elephants and buffalo. The lower density of vehicles ensures that wildlife encounters are private and uninterrupted, allowing for a deeper connection with the animals and the landscapes. -
Walking Safaris
Certain areas of the conservancy allow for guided walking safaris, where travelers can immerse themselves in the wilderness on foot. These excursions bring out the smaller details of the ecosystem—animal tracks, bird calls, plant uses, and insect life—that are often overlooked during vehicle-based safaris. -

With its rivers, woodlands, and open plains, Grumeti offers habitats for a wide array of birdlife. Expect to spot African fish eagles, storks, raptors, and colorful migratory species. Birdwatching here is peaceful and rewarding, especially during the wet season when migrants arrive. -
