Drive from Karatu to Southern Serengeti (Ndutu) for wildebeest calving season

Wake up for an early breakfast, then continue with a wildlife game drive in the Southern Serengeti National Park (Ndutu area) to experience the wildebeest calving season. Once you have finished the game drive, you will return to your accommodation for relaxation, dinner, and an overnight stay.

The Ndutu calving season, a highlight of the great wildebeest migration, typically occurs from late January to March in the Southern Serengeti and Ndutu areas of Tanzania. This is when over 400,000 wildebeest calves are born, drawn to the lush, nutrient-rich grasslands that emerge after the short rains. The area becomes a nursery for the new generation of wildebeest, attracting predators like lions, cheetahs, and hyenas.

You will enjoy a packed lunch at the picnic site inside the park every afternoon. Dinner will be served at the lodge from 7:00 to 9:30 pm. The game drive will end at 4:00 pm.

Game drive at Ngorongoro Crater - Drive back to Arusha Airport for flight back to Zanzibar

Rise and shine with a delicious breakfast at 7:00 am, as today marks the end of your safari. You will depart for the Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive until the afternoon.

The main attraction of Ngorongoro is its deep, volcanic crater, which is the world's largest unflooded and unbroken caldera. It's about 20 kilometers across, 600 meters deep, and covers 300 square kilometers—an awe-inspiring natural wonder. You'll explore Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, famous for its black rhinos, flamingos, hippos, and other waterbirds.

Later in the afternoon, after lunch, which will be served at the picnic site inside the park, you will drive to Arusha Airport for your flight back to Zanzibar at 4:30 pm. Upon arrival at Zanzibar Airport (5:45 pm), our driver will be waiting to transfer you to your hotel for dinner and a relaxing overnight stay.
