Central Serengeti - Ndutu

You'll have an early breakfast and a short farewell game drive in Serengeti National Park. Along the drive, you will be able to spot giraffes, zebras, and other animals.

In the afternoon we will be on our way to the Ndutu Area, Ndutu is a very beautiful region and rich in wild animals. In addition, it is the only nature reserve in Tanzania where you are allowed to drive off-road.

This allows you to get very close to the animals. Many predators are attracted by the calving happening here and roam this vast plain: lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, and hundreds of wild dogs! Wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles come here to give birth to their calves.

Ndutu Area

Ndutu is a very beautiful region and rich in wild animals. In addition, it is the only nature reserve in Tanzania where you are allowed to drive off-road. This allows you to get very close to the animals. Many predators are attracted by the calving happening here and roam this vast plain: lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, and hundreds of wild dogs! Wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles come here to give birth to their calves.

December to March is the calving season when the wildebeest and zebras give birth to their offspring and you will likely see a live birth. This is also an excellent time to see predator action as lions and leopards prey on young and vulnerable calves. After a full day of enjoying the Ndutu Area, you will spend the night inside the tented camp.

Ndutu - Ngorongoro Crater

On the last day of your safari, you will have an early start. Finishing up with a quick breakfast, you will make an early descent at around 6:30 am into the crater floor. The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest inactive, intact, and unfilled volcanic caldera.

It has a massive floor of about 260 sq. km with a depth of over 2000 feet. The 5/6-hour game drive on the crater floor will show us a lot of animal action.

Keeping the camera ready is recommended. African elephants, buffalos, black rhinos, hippos, hyenas, cheetahs, and lions are found in plenty. Post the picnic lunch at the beautiful Hippo pool, you will begin a steep ascent to the top exit of the crater.

Later, you will be taken to the Bougainvillea Safari Lodge.

Tarangire National Park

You'll be picked up from your hotel after breakfast and driven to Tarangire National Park, Tanzania's third-largest national park and sanctuary for an unusually large elephant population. Majestic baobab trees are an interesting feature of the park, dwarfing the animals that feed beneath them.

Animals concentrate along the Tarangire River, which provides the only permanent water supply in the area. There is a great diversity of wildlife including lions, leopards, cheetahs, and up to six thousand elephants. The park is perfect for bird watching as the park has over 300 species of birds.

After the game drive you will have a transfer to Airport for the flight to Zanzibar.
