Southern serengeti-ndutu area

After an early breakfast, depart for the Southern Serengeti (Ndutu region), the heart of the Great Migration during the calving season (typically January to March). Upon arrival, enjoy an extended game drive across the vast Ndutu plains, where hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and zebras gather to give birth. This season attracts a high concentration of predators including lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas, making it one of the most dramatic wildlife spectacles in Africa. Witness newborn calves taking their first steps and experience intense predator-prey interactions in this open landscape. After an unforgettable day of wildlife viewing, proceed to Tanzania Bush Camps for dinner and overnight in the heart of the wilderness.
