Journey to Ndutu / South Serengeti

Journey to Ndutu / South Serengeti

Today’s drive promises to be an exciting and rewarding journey as you travel from the Lake Manyara region, through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and into the breathtaking Ndutu/South Serengeti. Along the way, you’ll pass through the Maasai homeland, the only community allowed to live within the Conservation Area. Known for their rich culture and traditional nomadic lifestyle, the Maasai people are often seen herding cattle in their vibrant robes, living in harmony with the land and utilizing their deep knowledge of plant life for survival.

As you make your way through this remarkable landscape, keep an eye out for giraffes, zebras, and other wildlife along the road. The vast plains of the Serengeti will leave you in awe as they stretch endlessly before you. Once you reach our Africa Safari South Serengeti, you'll already have had a taste of the thrilling game drives that make this region so special.

Day 3

Full-Day Safari Adventure in the Ndutu Area

Full-Day Safari Adventure in the Ndutu Area

Wake up to the soothing sounds of nature, and if you’re lucky, you might spot a herd of elephants wandering near your tent. After a hearty breakfast, the day is dedicated to an exciting game drive, where you’ll explore the remarkable Ndutu area in depth. Early in the year, this region is home to the calving season of the Great Migration, as over 1.5 million wildebeests make their epic journey—a breathtaking sight to witness! During other months, you’ll likely encounter giraffes, elands, elephants, and, with some luck, one of the six species of big cats that call this area home. As the day winds down, you’ll return to Africa Safari South Serengeti to enjoy a delicious dinner and rest up for another day of adventure.
