Ngorongoro Crater - Ndutu

Wake up before dawn for breakfast and departure for the Ngorongoro Crater. We will enter the crater as early as possible to optimize sighting possibilities. Packed lunch and at around 3.00 pm we will leave the crater to move towards the most important part of this tour, the Ndutu plains. The journey will last approximately 3 hours during which we could already admire infinite herds of wildebeest and zebras on the move and with a bit of luck the first cheetahs and hyenas!

They will then welcome us from our new camp immersed in the Savannah! Here we will spend 5 unforgettable nights.

Accommodation in tents, dinner and overnight stay.

The program will follow a steady routine over the next few days. Breakfast will be served at 5:30 AM, with departures at 6:00 AM.

We will carry packed lunches to ensure maximum time for wildlife viewing and photography. The focus will be on tracking predators and births, with opportunities to see lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, caracals, and servals. Classic herbivores such as wildebeest, zebras, elands, impalas, and Thomson’s gazelles will also be abundant.

Birdwatching will be equally rewarding, with sightings of ostriches, rollers, flamingos, and various raptors.

Full-day safaris can be tiring, but our comfortable vehicles allow for rest during the day. Breaks will be taken in safe areas to stretch and enjoy meals. Time in the field will be crucial for maximizing sightings and capturing incredible moments.

The bird-life will be equally fascinating, with the possibility of spotting snake snakes, ostriches, European rollers, lilac-breasted rollers, weavers, greater and lesser flamingos, and numerous birds of prey on each safari. There will be regular breaks throughout the day, during which we will get off the jeep in safe areas with our guides to stretch our legs and eat meals. Spending a lot of time in the field will certainly be essential to obtain incredible sightings.
