The Drive: Late afternoon, exit the park and ascend the Great Rift Valley escarpment.

Into the Short Grass Plains (Ndutu)
After breakfast with a view, you descend toward the Ndutu region, the southern heartbeat of the Serengeti-Ngorongoro ecosystem.
The Experience: As you enter the plains, the landscape opens up into a sea of grass. This is the prime territory for the Great Migration’s calving season (Dec–March). You’ll witness the raw nature of thousands of wildebeests and the predators—cheetahs and lions—that shadow them.
Accommodation: Safari Haven Migration Camp. An elegant, seasonal tented camp that brings you close to the action without sacrificing comfort. Fall asleep to the distant calls of hyenas under a canopy of stars.

The Transition: In the late afternoon, leave the dust of the plains behind and head toward the lush, green highlands of Karatu.
Accommodation: Ngorongoro Farm House. A charming, luxury colonial-style lodge set on a 500-acre coffee plantation. It provides a peaceful, grounded contrast to the raw heat of the plains.
