Arusha to Ndutu Area

Rise and shine early this morning as you embark on your exciting wildebeest calving safari! Your journey takes you west through the stunning Ngorongoro Conservation Area, with a brief stop to admire the breathtaking views of the Ngorongoro Crater. After about five or six hours on the road, you’ll arrive in the Ndutu region, at the southern tip of the Serengeti.

Ndutu is a true gem, with lush green plains dotted with flat-topped acacia trees, shallow alkaline lakes teeming with flamingos and other birds, and, of course, the incredible sight of thousands of newborn wildebeest. As you travel through the bush, keep your eyes peeled for glimpses of young antelope hidden among the herds—your safari adventure is just beginning!

Tonight, you’ll rest in the comfort of Sero Tented Camps, where you can unwind and reflect on your first day in this magnificent wildlife haven.

Ndutu Area

Get ready for an unforgettable day in the heart of the African bush! Today, you’ll have the freedom to explore the lush Ndutu savanna, home to calving wildebeest and a wealth of wildlife you’ve come to see. Keep your eyes sharp for predators, as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas often stalk the perimeter of the wildebeest and zebra herds.

Ndutu is especially famous for cheetah sightings, and the Serengeti is brimming with lions and hyenas, so there’s always something exciting around every corner. Whether you choose to head back to camp for lunch or opt for a picnic-style meal right in the bush, you’ll enjoy the thrill of dining surrounded by the stunning wildlife of Tanzania.

These are the moments that define an authentic safari—there’s nothing quite like enjoying your lunch while watching massive herds of wildebeest and zebras roam nearby. After a day filled with incredible experiences, you’ll return to Sero Tented Camps for a relaxing dinner and a peaceful night’s rest. What an adventure.
