Wilderness Usawa Serengeti, in Tanzania, has added two new locations to its mobile circuit: Grumeti in the Western Corridor and Lamai in the Northern Hills.
Strategically situated to align with the movement of the Great Migration, the new locations were selected through a study of animal movements, seasonal conditions and long-term trends. According to Wilderness, these placements are intended to improve the likelihood of guests being close to the migration.
“While we can obviously take guests to the renowned river crossings, the Great Migration is much more than this singular spectacle. The Ndabaka Plains, located north of the Grumeti River in the Western Corridor, are a significant gathering point between May and July with large herds frequently moving through the area. Unlike other regions of the Serengeti, the Western Corridor supports a resident wildebeest population, ensuring consistent wildlife activity throughout the year. This area is also home to thriving lion populations, elephant herds and other iconic species, making it an excellent safari destination even outside of peak migration months,” said Jean du Plessis, MD of Wilderness Tanzania.
