Grumeti Game Reserve

Grumeti Game Reserve is a protected wildlife area adjacent to Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. It encompasses grasslands, rivers, and woodlands that serve as a critical migration corridor for animals moving between Tanzania and Kenya.

Tanzania established this reserve in 1994 to protect the annual wildebeest migration path and safeguard regional biodiversity. The creation reflected the government's commitment to preserving the cross-border movement of wildlife between the two nations.

The reserve collaborates with nearby communities through conservation programs that support sustainable development in surrounding villages. You will notice this partnership through local initiatives that benefit the people living adjacent to the protected area.

The reserve closes during April and May, making late June through October the best months for wildlife observation. Plan your visit during these months if you want to see the highest concentration of animals and active migration.

The reserve intentionally limits guest numbers to 60 across a few luxury camps, keeping the experience private and undisturbed. This approach means you can observe wildlife without the typical bustle of many safari vehicles sharing the same space.
