Ndutu

After an early breakfast, you’ll depart for Ndutu, located in the southern plains that straddle the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This region is the heart of the wildebeest calving season. Upon arrival, you’ll enjoy your first game drive in this extraordinary landscape, where vast herds of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles roam freely. During this period, an estimated 8,000 calves are born daily, making it a thrilling time to observe predator-prey interactions. Lions, cheetahs, and hyenas are often seen lurking nearby, waiting for the vulnerable young. Your overnight stay will be in a comfortable tented lodge close to the action.
