Ndutu – Full Game Drive

Today is dedicated to a full-day game drive in Ndutu, the heart of the Great Migration calving season (December to March).
During this period, hundreds of thousands of wildebeest spread across the plains to give birth, with thousands of calves born each day. This abundance of vulnerable newborns attracts predators, creating some of the most dramatic wildlife interactions you can witness in Africa.
Expect to see lions stalking the herds, cheetahs sprinting across the plains, and hyenas competing for opportunities. At the same time, you will witness tender moments between mothers and calves, offering a powerful contrast in the cycle of life.
The vast open landscapes also provide exceptional photography opportunities, with endless horizons filled with wildlife.
