The itinerary

1. 1

   Overview

   • 3-Day Ndutu Calving Season Safari
   • This 3-day Tanzania safari follows a defined route through Ngorongoro Crater, Zanzibar and Southern Serengeti (ndutu Area). The sequence of parks and areas gives the itinerary its character, while the day-by-day plan sets the pace for drives, stops and overnight stays.
   • The wildlife section is timed around the named migration area in the itinerary. Game drives are arranged to follow the route and current wildlife movement rather than treating every day as the same drive.
   • Flights connect the safari circuit with Zanzibar, so the arrival and departure points are part of the schedule. Road transfers cover the mainland sections, with the itinerary showing where each change of transport occurs.
   • Overnight stays use the lodge or camp level shown in the package details, with the exact properties confirmed in the accommodation section. Group size, meal arrangements and included services should be reviewed together because they affect the practical cost of the route. Listed inclusions include All Park entrances & taxes, All Meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner),, soft drinks & water (bottled water 3litres or more a day).
   • ✨ Safari Highlights
   • 📋 Day-by-Day Itinerary
   • Upon arrival at Seronera Airstrip, your professional safari guide will warmly welcome you and begin a scenic game drive toward the Ndutu region in the southern Serengeti ecosystem. As you travel, enjoy wildlife sightings across the open plains before arriving in Ndutu, where your adventure continues with an afternoon game drive. A picnic lunch will be served in the bush, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the natural surroundings. Ndutu is a key location along the route of the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles move seasonally. Between December and April, the area transforms into a calving ground, attracting predators such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards. The region is also home to diverse habitats around Lake Ndutu and Lake Masek, which attract abundant wildlife year-round. Ndutu is particularly famous for its high concentration of big cats, including lions, cheetahs, leopards, servals, caracals, and wildcats. In the evening, transfer to your camp for dinner and overnight. drinks (except spirits/liquor)
   • Enjoy a full day exploring the Ndutu region with flexible game drives tailored to wildlife movements. The fertile plains of Ndutu, enriched by volcanic ash, provide nutrient-rich grazing grounds. During the calving season (January to mid-February), thousands of wildebeest calves are born daily-creating one of the most dramatic wildlife spectacles in Africa. This abundance attracts predators, offering excellent opportunities to witness real-time predator-prey interactions. You may choose morning and afternoon game drives or a full-day safari with picnic lunch, depending on your preference. drinks (except spirits/liquor)
   • After breakfast, depart for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and descend approximately 600 meters (2,000 feet) into the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater. Formed over 3 million years ago, this vast volcanic caldera is now one of Africa’s richest wildlife habitats. During your morning game drive, you may encounter lions, elephants, buffalo, zebras, wildebeest, and the rare black rhino. Enjoy a picnic lunch near one of the crater’s scenic lakes before continuing your exploration. In the afternoon, ascend the crater and transfer to Arusha Airport for your onward flight, marking the end of your unforgettable safari. drinks (except spirits/liquor)
