Ndutu

You will embark on an early morning game drive to kickstart your day, followed by a full day of thrilling game viewing. The Ndutu Region, situated in the northern part of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, extends to the unfenced southern area of the Serengeti National Park. This unique location creates a captivating convergence of these two remarkable wilderness areas.

One of the prime game viewing spots in Ndutu is Lake Ndutu, where vast herds of animals gather. The lake serves as a crucial water source for wildlife and shares its basin with nearby Lake Masek, located just east of Ndutu within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

For an extraordinary perspective, consider adding a hot air balloon safari to your experience (available at an additional cost), allowing you to witness the breathtaking scenery from the sky during the morning hours.
