Waxbill safari

Waxbill safari: In full

This fantastic 6 night fly-in safari allows you to spend time in two of the most famous areas of the northern circuit: the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti National Park, both of which are known for their stunning landscape and wonderful game viewing opportunities. High quality, luxury lodges are used in this itinerary which add to the enjoyment of the game experience.

If you want to catch the great migration in the Serengeti, then ideal timing for staying at Grumeti River Camp would be during the months of April and July, as the migration generally moves towards and within the Western Corridor then.
