Day 3

Ndutu

Ndutu

Spend the day exploring the wide open plains and acacia woodlands of the Ndutu region, located in the southern Serengeti ecosystem and part of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This area comes alive during the calving season, when thousands of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles give birth on the fertile plains. The abundance of newborns draws a high number of predators, making this one of the best places to witness dramatic predator-prey interactions. With patience and a bit of luck, you may see lions, cheetahs, or hyenas on the hunt, or even experience the magical moment of a newborn calf standing up for the first time. Your expert guide will follow the movement of the herds and adapt the day’s game drive to give you the best opportunities for remarkable wildlife encounters and unforgettable photography.
