Arusha to Ndutu region in Ngorongoro Conservation Area
After breakfast, we head towards the far south of the Serengeti National Park, known as the Ndutu.
Lake Ndutu area, situated in the Ngorongoro conservation area, is part of the southern Serengeti ecosystem. Lake Ndutu is alkaline, like most of the other Rift lakes; however, the water is still drinkable and used by a wide array of local wildlife. Most wildebeest migration is usually found on the short-grass plains from December to April. The area is usually heavily populated with elephants, birds, and resident game. The Ndutu Region forms part of the northern section of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. It stretches to the unfenced southern reaches of the Serengeti National Park, a meeting point between these incredible wilderness areas. After Lunch and an extensive game drive, head straight to your accommodation for dinner and overnight stay.
You will spend two nights at Ndutu.

Tarangire National Park to Arusha
Tarangire National Park to Arusha
Early morning after breakfast, we depart to Tarangire National Park. The Park is named after the Tarangire River which runs through it. This ‘river of warthogs’ is the only source of water for wildlife in the region during the dry season. In places, the vegetation is quite dense, including elephant grass, acacia woodlands and lush groundwater forest. The Park is well known for its elephant families, which can often be seen congregating by the river. You may also see giraffe, bushbuck and hartebeest. These animals are closely followed by a range of predators, including lions and leopards. There are more breeding species of birds found in Tarangire National Park than anywhere else on the planet!
