Tanzania Safari Tours here is about big game and the Great Migration. On Tanzania Safari Tours 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 as they head north toward Kenya. The crocodiles here are massive, some measuring over five meters. Watching them ambush the struggling wildebeest is raw, brutal, and absolutely unforgettable. On Tanzania Safari Tours, you will also see healthy prides of lions. Grumeti is famous for its lions. They are everywhere, especially around the river where they wait for the migration. Large herds of elephants roam the area too. Leopards are present but shy. Hyenas, topi, eland, giraffe, impala, and waterbuck are common. On Tanzania Safari Tours, the best time for wildlife viewing is the dry season from June to October. Early morning and late afternoon game drives are best. Bring good binoculars and a camera with a zoom lens for Tanzania Safari Tours.

On Tanzania Safari Tours, look for secretary birds striding across the open plains hunting snakes and lizards. Ostriches, the world's largest bird, are present in the open grasslands.
