6 days Africa family safari vacation- migration safari

Serengeti migration tour towards the western corridor is one of the packages that any traveler will enjoy. At the beginning of May most animals will have to start moving towards the western side of the Serengeti while some of them will head directly on the northern side, by the end of May most of them will start accumulating at the borders of the grumeti river before crossing it. The grumeti river although not large as the northern mara river offers a massive challenge to the animals, and an incredible sight to all action lovers when it comes to wildlife.

At the beginning of June that’s when all the action starts at the grumeti river as thousands of the wildebeests make their way across the crocodile infested river, the sight is just dramatical and graphic, while some animals break their legs on the river banks, other will be fighting off the predators who are constantly trying to snatch their neck, while some who are weak lose their battle and surrender to defeat, only the strong ones makes it through this first barrier.
