From December to April, the Great Migration dominates the short-grass plains, where vast herds of wildebeest gather to calve, accompanied by zebras and a host of predators. The area is also home to large populations of elephants, resident game, and a rich variety of birdlife.
The Ndutu region lies at the junction between the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the Serengeti National Park, creating a seamless wilderness that showcases some of the most spectacular wildlife viewing in Africa.
