Tour Overview

The Grumeti River Crossing is a dramatic and crucial phase of the Great Migration, where over 2 million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles journey across East Africa in search of fresh grazing land. This crossing is one of the most perilous moments of the migration, as the animals must navigate strong currents, crocodile-infested waters, and lurking predators to reach the other side.

Despite the dangers, witnessing the Grumeti River Crossing is an awe-inspiring experience. The sight of vast herds surging forward in an unrelenting stream showcases the raw power and resilience of nature. For wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers, this is an unforgettable adventure.
