Tanzania Safari Tour here is about big game and the Great Migration. On a Tanzania Safari Tour at Grumeti, you come for the wildebeest river crossings. Between June and July, hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and zebra cross the crocodile infested Grumeti River. The crocodiles are massive, some over five meters. Watching them ambush the struggling wildebeest is raw and unforgettable. On a Tanzania Safari Tour, you will also see healthy prides of lions everywhere, especially around the river. Large herds of elephants roam the area. Leopards are present but shy. Hyenas, topi, eland, giraffe, and impala are common. For the best wildlife viewing on a Tanzania Safari Tour, go during the dry season from June to October. Early morning and late afternoon game drives are best. Bring good binoculars and a zoom lens.

Tanzania Safari Tour birders will find Grumeti rewarding. On a Tanzania Safari Tour, the reserve has riverine forest, grassland, and acacia woodland supporting many bird species. The fish eagle is common along the Grumeti River. You will also see saddle billed storks and secretary birds striding across the plains hunting snakes. Ostriches are present in the open grasslands. Vultures circle overhead constantly. The acacia woodlands hold superb starlings, lilac breasted rollers, and weavers. The best time for birding on a Tanzania Safari Tour is the wet season from November to May, when migratory birds arrive. Early morning is best. Bring good binoculars.

Tanzania Safari Tour during the dry season from June to October is best for wildlife viewing. The wildebeest migration passes through Grumeti between June and July, and the river crossings are most spectacular then. On a Tanzania Safari Tour, if you want to see the migration, aim for late June or early July. The wet season from November to May brings green landscapes and best birding, but the wildebeest have moved north. For most travelers, the sweet spot on a Tanzania Safari Tour is June through October.

Tanzania Safari Tour weather here is warm and pleasant. Daytime temperatures range from 25°C to 30°C year round. Nights are cooler, dropping to 13°C to 16°C. The long rains come from March to May, and short rains from September to December. The dry season runs from June to October, which is best for game viewing. On a Tanzania Safari Tour, the biggest challenge is dust during the dry season. The sun is strong, so wear a hat and sunscreen. Mosquitoes are present year round. Bring insect repellent.

Tanzania Safari Tour travelers reach Grumeti by air. The reserve has its own airstrip called Sasakwa Airstrip. Most travelers fly into Kilimanjaro International Airport near Arusha, then take a light aircraft flight to the airstrip, about 1.5 to 2 hours. On a Tanzania Safari Tour, you can also drive from Serengeti National Park or from Mwanza. However, most visitors fly because the airstrip is convenient.

Tanzania Safari Tour is safe, and Grumeti is very safe. The reserve is private and accessed only through luxury lodges. The main dangers are the wildlife. Stay inside your vehicle unless your guide says otherwise. Malaria is a risk on a Tanzania Safari Tour. Bring insect repellent with DEET. Sleep under a mosquito net. Consult your doctor about malaria pills. The lodges have guards and electric fences. Walking around camp at night is safe, but ask a guide to escort you. Overall, Grumeti on a Tanzania Safari Tour is very safe.
