Transfer to Ndutu & Great Migration Calving Season Game Drive
After breakfast, begin your journey toward Ndutu, the heart of the Great Migration's calving grounds during this special season.
As you travel toward Ndutu, the scenery gradually changes into vast open plains, seasonal lakes, and acacia woodland. This is where thousands of wildebeest gather to give birth, creating one of Africa's most extraordinary natural spectacles.
Upon reaching the Ndutu area, begin your game drive and start looking for enormous herds of wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and their newborn calves.
The abundance of young and vulnerable animals attracts predators, so you may have opportunities to observe lions, cheetahs, hyenas, and leopards moving through the plains in search of prey.
Your guide will monitor wildlife movements and select the best areas for game viewing and photography while respecting the animals and their natural environment.
Enjoy a picnic lunch in the wilderness before continuing your afternoon game drive.
