Have breakfast at 6:30 am and then descend into the crater for a game tour. Later on, you will drive to the Ndutu area and proceed with the game drive.
Ndutu is part of the yearly migratory path for over 2 million wildebeest, as well as thousands of zebra, antelope, and gazelle. During game drives between December and April, you will be able to witness the lush plains transform into calving areas and nurseries for the great migration. During the calving season, swarms of predators attack the fragile newborn wildebeest calves.
The waterholes, which are surrounded by Lake Ndutu and Lake Masek, provide lots of opportunities for animal viewing throughout the dry season. The Ndutu area is also home to 6 types of big cats; leopard, lion, cheetah, caracal, serval, and wildcat. Dinner and overnight will be at Kenzan Ndutu Tented Camp.

Day 5
Ndutu to Central Serengeti
Ndutu to Central Serengeti
The anticipation for today will be great as you make your way into the world's most famous wildlife park, the Serengeti. In the native African language, Serengeti means "endless plains," and witnessing the grassland stretch out as far as the eye can see before blending with the sky at the horizon is an incredibly magnificent sight. With a total land size of 14,763 square kilometers, it puts conventional notions of distance to rest.
The Serengeti is home to Africa's largest surviving concentration of plains animals. You should also keep an eye out for the Serengeti's "kopjes", which are enormous granite rocks towering in a sea of grass. They provide abundant habitat for a wide range of plants and wildlife. During the day's game drive, a picnic lunch will be served. The exciting day concludes with a wonderful meal and a restful night's sleep at Matawi Luxury Tented Camp.
