Day 1
Southern Serengeti National Park (Ndutu)
Southern Serengeti National Park (Ndutu)
After early breakfast, you'll start from Arusha and head to the Lake Ndutu region a sublime landscape of the southern Serengeti ecosystem. Over 2 million migratory animals made up of wildebeest, zebras, elands, and Thompson gazelles move clockwise from Ngorongoro and the Southern Serengeti to the Northern Serengeti into Kenya and back.
This migration route happens because they follow the rains and therefore the new grasses grow rapidly. Traditionally the wildebeest and zebras tend to calve on these plains with a peak around February which makes for a beautiful natural spectacle and some exciting predator hunting behaviours.
In the afternoon, you will break for lunch. After lunch, the game drive continues until you start driving to your lodge. It is now time to relax, dine, swim, and relive the memories you collected during the day.

Day 2
Full-Day in South Serengeti National Park (Ndutu)
Full-Day in South Serengeti National Park (Ndutu)
After breakfast, you will continue from where you left the previous day.
A big draw of the Ndutu Region is to see the full circle of the great migration, from the return of the herds to graze in December, and then the calving which takes place in January and February, and then the departure of the herds again in April as they start making their journey northwards. Calving season is particularly dramatic: a million wildebeest give birth to 8000 babies every day, and as these newborns take their first steps, they’re targeted by lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas.
Sightings of six species of cats — leopards, lions, cheetahs, caracal, African wildcats, and servals — are a big highlight. You can spot the cats throughout the year, but the best viewing is during the calving months of January and February when these predators pick on the fledgling baby animals.
By late afternoon, you'll start heading back to your lodge to relax and relive the memories you collected during the day.

The wildebeest continue to mature on the short grass plains well into March and April gaining strength for the long migration to the North following the rains and the new pastures.
After lunch, the game drive continues until you start driving back to your accommodation in Arusha or head to the airport— this is where your safari ends.
