As you approach Ndutu, the landscape opens into beautiful grass-covered plains where large herds of wildebeest and zebras gather. Your game drive begins as you explore the area and look for the first signs of the calving season.

Day 3
Southern Serengeti In Ndutu Area
Southern Serengeti In Ndutu Area
Today is dedicated entirely to the Ndutu Calving Season, making it one of the most important days of your safari.
With a full day in the Southern Serengeti, you can explore different parts of the Ndutu ecosystem without being rushed. During the calving season, thousands of wildebeest gather across the short-grass plains, and newborn calves can often be seen staying close to their mothers as the herds move through the area.
The abundance of young animals also attracts predators. Keep your eyes open for lions, cheetahs, hyenas and other carnivores moving through the plains. Your experienced guide will help you understand the behaviour of the animals and position you for the best possible wildlife-viewing opportunities.
The full-day format also gives you flexibility to spend more time at interesting sightings and enjoy the spectacular scenery of Ndutu.

After breakfast, you will leave the Ndutu area and continue towards Central Serengeti, enjoying a game drive along the way.
The landscape gradually changes as you move deeper into the Serengeti, with vast plains, rocky kopjes and different wildlife habitats. Central Serengeti is an excellent area for encountering resident wildlife throughout the year and is particularly well known for its opportunities to see lions, leopards, cheetahs and other predators.
Your afternoon game drive will allow you to explore the central plains and observe wildlife in a different setting from the calving grounds of Ndutu.
After the day's adventure, you will arrive at your accommodation in Central Serengeti for a relaxing evening surrounded by the sounds of the African wilderness.

Beyond the wildlife, the crater offers breathtaking scenery, from open grasslands and wetlands to the surrounding highlands. After your crater experience, you will ascend and continue to Karatu Village, where you can relax after an exciting day.
