Day 1: Arusha to South Serengeti (Ndutu Area)

Your adventure begins with a scenic drive from Arusha into the South Serengeti’s Ndutu region, the heart of the wildebeest calving season. As you journey across the vast plains, you’ll witness breathtaking landscapes alive with wildlife. Expect large herds of wildebeest, zebras, and predators drawn by the migration. Overnight at the comfortable Kontiki Migration Camp, set perfectly in the migration corridor.

Accommodation:

Kon Tiki Ndutu Camp

Spend the day exploring the Ndutu plains, famous for the wildebeest calving between January and March. With thousands of newborn calves, the area becomes a prime hunting ground for predators like lions, cheetahs, and hyenas—making for dramatic game viewing. Your expert guide will ensure you don’t miss the action, from massive herds to thrilling predator-prey interactions. Overnight again at Kontiki Migration Camp.

After a morning drive in Ndutu, continue toward the world-renowned Central Serengeti. This area, known for its year-round wildlife and iconic kopjes, is home to big cats, elephants, giraffes, and an abundance of birdlife. The contrast of scenery—from open grasslands to rocky outcrops—offers spectacular photo opportunities. Enjoy the authentic bush atmosphere with an overnight at Golden Safari Camp.

Begin with a morning safari in the Central Serengeti, then travel through the park toward the Ngorongoro Highlands. The drive is a safari in itself, with chances to spot wildlife en route. Arriving at the lush highlands, enjoy the cooler climate, green landscapes, and views over the vast Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Tonight, you’ll unwind at the cozy Ngorongoro Safari Lodge, preparing for tomorrow’s crater exploration.

Descend 600 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater, often called the “Eighth Wonder of the World.” The crater floor is home to over 25,000 animals, including lions, black rhinos, elephants, and countless flamingos.
