5 Days Ndutu Migration Safari Calving Season

Itinerary

Day 1: Arusha - Serengeti South - Ndutu Area

We'll pick you up from your hotel accommodation in Arusha and bring you to Arusha Airstrip for your flight to Ndutu Area. Upon arrival, you'll have a meet and greet with your tour guide/driver and then proceed to a game drive.

Lake Ndutu area, situated in the Ngorongoro conservation area, part of the southern Serengeti eco-system. Lake Ndutu is alkaline, like most of the other Rift lakes, however, the water is still drinkable and used by a wide array of local wildlife. The majority of the wildebeest migration can normally be found on the short-grass plains from December to April. The area is usually heavily populated with elephant, birds and resident game.

In the wilderness, tracking the Great migration trails. A thorough explanation of this great world event that Tanzania proud of will be provided. And in the evening as the sun goes down, Tanzania’s oldest and most popular national park, also a world heritage site and recently proclaimed a 7th worldwide wonder, the Serengeti is famed for its annual migration.

Day 3: Ndutu - Seronera

Experience a hot air balloon safari early in the morning and then proceed back to the camp for breakfast. Afterwards, we'll depart for Seronera with game drive en route.

The park is well known for its healthy stock of other resident wildlife, particularly the "big five", named for the five most prized trophies taken by hunters: Lion: the Serengeti is believed to hold the largest population of lions in Africa due in part to the abundance of prey species. More than 3,000 lions live in this ecosystem. African Leopard: these reclusive predators are commonly seen around.

Day 4: Serengeti - Conservation Area

After breakfast, we'll continue the game drive in Seronera area and in the afternoon, we'll proceed to Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

A million wildebeest… each one driven by the same ancient rhythm, fulfilling its instinctive role in the inescapable cycle of life: a frenzied three-week bout of territorial conquests and mating; survival of the fittest as 40km (25 mile) long columns plunge through crocodile-infested waters on the annual exodus north; replenishing the species in a brief population explosion that produces more than 8,000 calves daily before the 1,000 km (600 miles) pilgrimage begins again.

Day 5: Ngorongoro Crater - Departure
