What
Observe the annual wildebeest migration around the Serengeti-Masai Mara ecosystem, including the spectacle of thousands of wildebeest crossing the Grumeti River. 

Why
One of the most awe-inspiring occurrences during the Wildebeest Migration is the river crossings, attracting droves of safari enthusiasts. However, the Grumeti crossings are exceptionally exclusive as they happen in the private Grumeti Reserve. This results in fewer vehicles and individuals, providing a more exclusive and intimate encounter.  

When to book
The Grumeti River crossings are highly coveted by safari enthusiasts as one of the most captivating moments of the Migration. However, the available accommodations are scarce. We strongly advise booking up to a year ahead of time to secure your spot.

What
Swimming alongside whale sharks while diving. 

Why
From October to April, whale sharks undertake a migration along the coasts of Kenya and Tanzania. By February, the laggards catch up with the leaders, resulting in the highest number of whale sharks during this time. 

When to book
The desire to dive with these gentle giants, which are as massive as they are, is attracting a growing number of divers. Since the best lodging options are typically small and cozy, they may fill up quickly. If this experience is a must-do on your list, it's best to book as early as possible to ensure optimal weather and avoid disappointment.
