Zanzibar To Ndutu

Upon arrival at Seronera Airstrip, your adventure begins with a game drive toward Ndutu. Once in Ndutu, enjoy a half-day game drive with a picnic lunch break. Ndutu’s sweeping grasslands merge seamlessly with the Serengeti and form part of the route for the annual migration of over 2 million wildebeests, accompanied by thousands of zebras, antelopes, and gazelles. From December to April, this area transforms into vital calving grounds and nurseries, attracting predators eager to hunt vulnerable young animals. The region’s water sources, including Lake Ndutu and Lake Masek, sustain abundant wildlife even during the dry season. Ndutu is also home to six species of big cats—leopards, lions, cheetahs, caracals, servals, and wildcats—offering thrilling predator sightings. After a full day of wildlife action, you’ll transfer to your hotel for a restful evening.
