DAY 7-9: Ngorongoro to Manyara Airstrip then fly to Grumeti (Western Serengeti)
Early morning after breakfast, we will checkout at The Lodge on the crater rim and drive to Manyara Airstrip to catch your flight at 0835hrs to Grumeti Airstrip (arrival at 1030hrs), Upon arrival, you will be met by your driver guide who will brief you and proceed with game viewing on the western Serengeti following the great migration of wildebeests and Zebras.
Around the end of April, May and June, a vast army of wildebeests along with its partners, zebras, elands and gazelles mill around the Western Corridor of the Serengeti, south of the Grumeti River. Harassed behind by lions, cheetahs, leopards and hyenas and ahead by giant Nile crocodiles, many hundreds perish as some hazard the river crossing while others detour it. But the beauty of the landscape, stretching without end beneath an infinite sky on a Serengeti West Safari, changes something within the watcher, who becomes more aware of the place of humankind within the drama of the animal world.
After Lunch and an extensive game drive, we head for our luxury partner tented camp for dinner and overnight.
You will spend a total of 3 nights on the western corridor.
