What to Expect

The 5 Days Grumeti Predator Safari is built for travellers who want big cats first, crowds never. The Western Serengeti's Grumeti River corridor is one of Tanzania's most rewarding yet least visited predator hotspots. Between May and July, wildebeest herds surge across the Grumeti, triggering explosive predator action as lions, leopards, cheetahs and Nile crocodiles take advantage of the chaos.
