Karatu to Central Serengeti National Park
After an early breakfast, you will be driven through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and onto Serengeti National Park while carrying lunch boxes. You will stop along the way to observe wildlife. The most famous animal sanctuary in the world is unquestionably Serengeti National Park because of its unmatched natural beauty and scientific relevance. The greatest concentration of plains game in Africa can be found there.
The migration is arguably the most well-known feature of the Serengeti. In quest of the brief rains, a million wildebeest and over 200,000 zebras travel south from the northern hills to the southern plains every October and November.
You will return to your lodge located in central Serengeti for the over night stay after the Game drive.

Day 4
Southern Serengeti( Ndutu) Calving Season
Southern Serengeti( Ndutu) Calving Season
After a hearty breakfast, we set out for a full-day game drive in the Ndutu region, exploring its diverse habitats—ranging from swamps and woodlands to soda lakes and the iconic Serengeti short-grass plains. This area offers front-row seats to the spectacular Great Migration, where vast herds of wildebeest and zebras fill the landscape. Around January, a remarkable event unfolds: in just a few weeks, nearly half a million wildebeest calves are born in a synchronized birthing, a powerful display of nature’s rhythm. With little cover on the open plains, newborns must stand and run within minutes, and within days, they’re strong enough to move with the herd—an incredible survival strategy. After a thrilling day immersed in wildlife and sweeping views of the ‘Endless Plains,’ we return to your lodge for dinner and a restful overnight stay.
