Full Day Ndutu – Calving Season Experience

Today is dedicated entirely to exploring the Ndutu plains.

An early morning game drive is highly recommended, as predators are most active at dawn.

This region offers:

High predator density

Dramatic wildlife interactions

Excellent photography opportunities

Golden open plains landscapes

You can choose a full-day game drive with picnic lunch or split drives (morning & afternoon).

The calving season is one of the most exciting times of the year because predators follow the migration closely.
