Head out to see the sights and sounds of Arusha local culture.

Day 2

Ndutu

Ndutu

Your driver will be pick you up from your hotel in Arusha and head towards the Ndutu region. The drive to Ndutu is about 5.5 hours covering a distance of 260 Kms. 2 hours commencing the drive, you will enter the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) where you will notice the landscape changing from hilly forests to plain and green grasslands. Once you reach Ndutu you will begin a half day game drive with a convenient stop for your picnic lunch. Sweeping grasslands cover the region which gradually fade into the Serengeti. Ndutu forms a part of the route for the annual migration of more than 2 million wildebeests and thousands of zebra, antelope and gazelle. During game drives at the right season between December and April, you will be able to see the fertile plains turn into calving grounds and nursery for the great migration. This season attracts hordes of predators prying on vulnerable young wildebeest.

Day 3

Ndutu

Ndutu

● Prepare for a day filled with action as we leave after breakfast in quest of the herds.
● Spend the entire day watching more than 500,000 zebras, gazelles, and wildebeest give birth, with up to 8,000 occurring on any given day during the height of the season.
● It shouldn't be a surprise that the number of predators in the area hits an all-time high with all these new-borns wobbling around on their shaky legs. Predators like lions, hyenas, and cheetahs may prowl nearby, but an easy meal is not always guaranteed.
● Every year, between January and March, herds progressively start to move south of the Serengeti when the rainy season begins. It is when calving season typically begins. Even though our knowledgeable guides will make every effort to locate the migratory herds, sightings are not guaranteed.
● After being driven back to your lodging, you can unwind for the evening beneath a starry sky.
