About Ikorongo Game Reserve
Ikorongo Game Reserve lies on the north-western edge of the Serengeti, next to Grumeti. Together they form a corridor the migration passes through between the western and northern Serengeti.
Like Grumeti, it is managed as a low-density concession, so walking safaris and night drives are possible.
