After breakfast, depart from Arusha and journey to the Ndutu region for an exciting game drive in one of Tanzania’s premier wildlife destinations during the calving season of the Great Migration.

Located within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and extending into the southern Serengeti ecosystem, Ndutu is renowned for its vast open plains, scenic acacia woodlands, seasonal wetlands, and the beautiful Lakes Ndutu and Masek. During the calving season, large herds of wildebeest gather on the nutrient-rich grasslands to give birth, attracting numerous predators such as lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas. The combination of abundant wildlife, dramatic predator action, and stunning landscapes makes Ndutu one of the most rewarding safari destinations in Tanzania.

After breakfast, enjoy a full-day game drive in the Ndutu area, one of the most rewarding wildlife destinations in the Serengeti ecosystem during the calving season. Between December and April, vast herds of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles gather on the nutrient-rich short-grass plains, where thousands of wildebeest calves are born. This abundance of prey attracts predators such as lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas, creating exceptional opportunities to witness the natural drama of the African wilderness. The area’s diverse habitats, including open plains, acacia woodlands, seasonal marshes, and soda lakes, also support elephants, giraffes, jackals, bat-eared foxes, and a rich variety of birdlife.
