Day 4-5: Central Serengeti to Western Serengeti (Grumeti)
Early morning after breakfast, we depart to Western Serengeti. 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 partner lodges for dinner and overnight at Serengeti Heritage Tented Camp.
