Named after the Tarangire River, this park, known as the 'river of warthogs,' serves as the sole water source for wildlife during the dry season. Witness impressive elephant families gathering by the river, alongside giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeests. Predators like lions and leopards closely trail these animals, creating captivating scenes. Tarangire boasts an exceptional variety of breeding bird species, and ancient baobab trees, some surpassing a thousand years, dot the landscape.

Day 3

Central to Ndutu Migration Camp

Central to Ndutu Migration Camp

After a remarkable time spent exploring the vast, endless plains of the Central Serengeti, you’ll embark on a thrilling journey southward, heading toward Ndutu, located in the heart of the Southern Serengeti. This transition is known as the “New Life and Predator Flow,” where the landscape and the rhythms of nature shift dramatically.
As you venture into Ndutu, you’ll witness one of the most awe-inspiring phenomena in the animal kingdom—the annual wildebeest migration and calving season. Here, thousands of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles give birth to their young, filling the plains with the sights and sounds of new life. However, this surge of life also draws predators to the area, as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas move into the southern Serengeti to prey on the vulnerable newborns. This dramatic interaction between prey and predator forms an incredible spectacle, showcasing the raw power and beauty of nature at its most primal.
