The Western Corridor Migration is one of the most dramatic phases of the Great Migration in Tanzania. Taking place between May and July, this season sees massive herds of wildebeest and zebras moving through the western part of Serengeti National Park in search of fresh grazing and water.
During this time, the herds gather near the Grumeti River, where thrilling river crossings take place. Crocodiles lie in wait beneath the surface, while predators such as lions and hyenas patrol the surrounding plains. These intense wildlife encounters create unforgettable safari moments for visitors.
Unlike the peak northern crossings later in the year, the Western Corridor offers a slightly quieter safari experience with lush green landscapes following the long rains. It is an excellent period for photography, game drives, and witnessing raw natural behavior in a breathtaking setting.
Travelers can expect:
-
Large concentrations of wildebeest and zebras
-
Exciting Grumeti River crossings
-
Active predator sightings
-
Scenic and verdant landscapes
The Western Corridor Migration delivers powerful wildlife drama and is perfect for safari enthusiasts seeking authentic and action-filled experiences in Tanzania.
