Western Corridor of Serengeti National Park
The Serengeti Western Corridor is a beautiful wildlife region in the western part of Serengeti National Park, accessible from Mwanza through Ndabaka Gate. It is famous for its open savannah plains, woodland areas, and the Grumeti River, which attracts hippos and large Nile crocodiles. The area is home to lions, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, and large herds of wildebeests, especially during the Great Wildebeest Migration. Between May and July, depending on migration movements, visitors may witness wildebeest herds moving through the region and crossing the Grumeti River. Its location makes it a suitable destination for 1-day Serengeti safari trips from Mwanza, offering excellent opportunities for game drives and wildlife photography.
