The Ndutu region is particularly famous for the Great Wildebeest Migration, especially between December and April, when thousands of wildebeest gather on the short-grass plains to give birth to their young. This remarkable natural event also attracts predators such as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas, creating excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing.

Full-Day Game Drive in Ndutu – South Serengeti

Today is dedicated to exploring the beautiful Ndutu region with a full-day game drive. Located within the southern Serengeti ecosystem, Ndutu is a spectacular wildlife destination where the Ngorongoro Conservation Area meets the Serengeti National Park.

During the calving season, the short-grass plains become a nursery for thousands of wildebeest calves. This abundance of young wildlife attracts numerous predators, making the region one of the most exciting places for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers.

Throughout the day, we explore different areas of Ndutu in search of the Great Migration and other resident wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, zebras, lions, cheetahs, and various bird species.

We enjoy a picnic lunch in the wilderness before continuing with our afternoon game drive. Later, we return to our lodge for dinner and another overnight stay in Ndutu.
