4-Day Calving Season in Ndutu (Migration Safari)

Your journey begins with a morning pick-up from your hotel in Arusha. After a delicious breakfast, you'll depart for Tarangire National Park, known for its stunning baobab trees and large elephant herds. The scenic drive will take you through the beautiful landscapes of Tanzania, providing glimpses of local life along the way. Upon arrival at Tarangire, you'll embark on an exciting game drive to explore the park's diverse habitats and wildlife. Keep your camera ready as you search for lions, leopards, giraffes, and more amidst the savannah and acacia woodlands. You'll enjoy a picnic lunch surrounded by the park's natural beauty before continuing your safari adventure. In the afternoon, you'll have more opportunities to spot wildlife as you traverse Tarangire's expansive plains. As the day draws to a close, you'll head to your accommodation for dinner and a well-deserved rest as you reflect on the day's adventures.

After breakfast, on the way to Serengeti, you will pass by the Ngorongoro Crater and enjoy the crater view before heading to your destination. Serengeti originates from the Maasai word "Siringitu" and means "endless plains". The guide will pick you up early for a transfer game drive to the Southern Serengeti (Ndutu). Upon arrival, you'll embark on your first game drive, witnessing the great wildebeest migration and the calving season with thousands of newborns and predators on the hunt. You'll enjoy a picnic lunch in the bush and continue exploring before returning to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

You'll start with an early-morning game drive to catch the predators in action and witness the active wildlife. The full-day Southern Serengeti or Ndutu regions transform into bustling nurseries where newborns take their first steps within minutes of birth. The lush green landscapes, nourished by seasonal rains, provide ample grazing for the herds, ensuring the newborns have a strong start. After a picnic lunch in the wild, you'll continue your exploration as you exit, heading to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay outside the park.

After breakfast, you’ll begin the scenic transfer from Ndutu to the Ngorongoro Crater, taking around two hours. For an earlier start, a packed breakfast can be arranged. As you descend into the crater, take in the breathtaking views before beginning your game drive through this incredible wildlife haven. With one of the highest concentrations of wildlife in Africa, the crater offers an excellent chance to spot lions, elephants, buffalo, and, if you’re lucky, the rare black rhino, possibly completing your Big Five! Enjoy a picnic lunch surrounded by the crater’s spectacular scenery before ascending and continuing to Arusha, where your safari comes to an end.
