After enjoying a hearty breakfast, you will set off toward Serengeti National Park, traveling across its iconic, seemingly endless grassy plains.

Day 3
Serengeti National Park To Ndutu
Serengeti National Park To Ndutu
A safari in the Southern Serengeti offers a front-row seat to the Great Migration, with daily game drives immersing you in one of nature’s greatest spectacles. In the early months of the year, the lush green plains become the stage for thousands of newborn wildebeest taking their first steps. As the season progresses, vast herds begin their journey north toward the Masai Mara. This is one of the few places where you can witness the full cycle of the migration—herds returning with the December rains, calving in January and February, and their eventual departure as the grasslands dry toward the end of the rainy season.
Because wildlife viewing here is highly seasonal, accommodation options are limited. The region has only a handful of permanent lodges and one permanent tented camp, while a variety of mobile camps—ranging from budget to luxury—open exclusively during the migration months to keep guests close to the action.

Ndutu
Ndutu
Begin the day with an early morning bush breakfast during your game drive, exploring the varied landscapes of the Ndutu Conservation Area. From tranquil marshlands and shady acacia woodlands to the shimmering soda lakes of Ndutu and Masek, and the sweeping Serengeti plains, each habitat reveals its own wildlife wonders. The marshes are a favored refuge for big cats raising their young, while the short-grass plains come alive during the Great Migration as wildebeest give birth.
As the sun sets, unwind with a drink and share the day’s adventures at the bar before returning to your cottage. The distant calls of hyenas echo across the night, setting the scene for a peaceful, tsetse-free sleep.

Ngorongoro crater To Arusha
On your final safari day, begin early with a quick breakfast before descending into the Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera. Spanning 260 square kilometers, its fertile floor is a haven for wildlife. During your 5-hour game drive, you may encounter elephants, buffalo, black rhinos, hippos, hyenas, cheetahs, and lions—so keep your camera close at hand.
After a picnic lunch beside the scenic Hippo Pool, ascend the crater walls and begin your journey back to Arusha. You will arrive by late afternoon, with drop-off at your hotel or the airport, carrying unforgettable memories of your safari adventure.
