Serengeti’s rivers

The Mara and Grumeti rivers are full of big crocodiles, the wildebeest and zebras Great Migration crosses those rivers every year. The Seronera river gives its name to the central area of the Serengeti Park and the Mbalageti river flows in the Western side of the park.

The Mara River

From July to October in the North of the Serengeti the Great Migration crosses the Mara River, the
cross is very difficult… crocodiles, strong stream, steep banks and other obstacles are waiting…
Many animals die crushed by others or fall during the descent or ascent of the river.
Crossing can take hours to make up their minds, finding the courage to face the dangers.

The Seronera River

The Seronera River is the most famous and visited, over 30 kilometers long, located in the Central
Serengeti. Several games drive pass along the river with excellent chances of spotting predators
such as lions, leopards, and cheetahs.

The Grumeti River

Safaris in May, June, and July usually take place between the Central Serengeti and the Western
looking for the Great Migration. Between the end of May and mid-July the Great Migration crosses
the Grumeti River, it is not very difficult cross, but… the crocodiles are waiting for this moment for
months and hide in the river to ambush the animals!

The Mbalageti River

The Mbalageti River is located in the Western Corridor, a little-visited area of the park, where we
find the Great Migration in May and June.
