Tarangire to Ndutu area

Today you will head into the Serengeti and spend three days exploring this amazing park. At the end of each game drive, you will head to your campsite in the middle of the park and enjoy a nice dinner prepared by your chef.

The Serengeti is known for its endless savannah plains and forest landscapes. It covers an area of ​​about 30,000sq km in the north of Tanzania and Kenya, 80% of which is located in Tanzania. The park is famous for the migration involving about 1.5 million herbivores and thousands of predators fleeing drought in search of freshwater and grazing. After the rains arrive in mid-April, they make the reserved journey via a detour through the western portion of the Serengeti. Grasslands cover more than one-third of the park and you will find many animals here throughout the year.

Ndutu

Your game druve will start early after breakfast.
Ndutu is a magical place - every year millions of wildebeest return to this area to give birth to thousands of calves. Wherever there is lots of grazers means there will be lots of hunters as well. The lions and cheetahs have been waiting all year for the herds to return!

With few formal roads off roading is allowed and expected! It's a good thing your guide has excellent navigation skills as it is easy to get turned around in the vast plains with no roads.

Spend the next day as you wish! A full day game drive with picnic lunch, or return to your camp at lunch time for an afternoon of relaxation, the choice is up to you!
