Ndutu Serengeti Express

After breakfast, spend the morning exploring the Ndutu area, a key location during the Great Migration, especially famous in February for the calving season of wildebeest. This time of year attracts many predators such as lions, cheetahs, hyenas, and leopards, making it one of the best spots for witnessing dramatic wildlife action. The unique advantage of Ndutu is that off-road driving is allowed, giving you closer access to animal sightings and fantastic opportunities for photography. You may also choose to visit nearby attractions like Lake Ndutu, known for its birdlife, or the scenic Maswa Game Reserve for a change of landscape. After your morning safari and lunch, you’ll begin your journey north to the Central Serengeti, enjoying game viewing along the way. Arrive at your lodge or camp in the late afternoon and settle in for the night in the heart of the Serengeti. Accommodation will be at the same lodge as the previous night.

Full Time Ndutu

Begin your day with an early morning game drive in the Ndutu area, taking advantage of the cooler hours when wildlife is most active. This region is especially exciting during the calving season, with plenty of predator action as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas follow the herds. After a few hours of game viewing, you’ll return to your lodge for a late breakfast or early lunch. Around mid-day, start your journey toward the Central Serengeti, traveling through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Along the way, enjoy a game drive route, with chances to spot wildlife such as cheetahs, lions, and large herds of wildebeest and zebras moving north with the migration. You’ll arrive in the Seronera region of the Central Serengeti by evening, just in time to relax at your lodge or camp and prepare for the next day’s safari.

Central Serengeti

The Central Serengeti, especially the Seronera Valley, is one of the best places in Tanzania for year-round wildlife viewing. Known for its rich grasslands, acacia woodlands, and permanent water sources, this area attracts a high concentration of animals, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, and large herds of wildebeest and zebras. It is also a prime location during the Great Migration as animals pass through on their way north. The Central Serengeti offers excellent game drives, beautiful landscapes, and some of the best chances to see predator-prey interactions in the wild.

Central serengeti flight to zanzibar

A half-day in the Central Serengeti, particularly in the Seronera Valley, offers a rich safari experience even in a short time. Starting early in the morning, you’ll head out on a game drive through the area’s open plains and acacia woodlands, which are home to a wide variety of wildlife. Thanks to the Seronera River, which provides a constant water source, animals are active here throughout the year. During your drive, you’re likely to see lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, giraffes, and herds of wildebeest and zebras. The early hours are also the best time to catch predators on the move or hunting. After several hours of wildlife viewing, you’ll return to your lodge or camp by late morning or midday, making it a rewarding and action-packed half-day safari.
