5 Day Ndutu Calving Season Adventure Late Dec-March.

Upon arrival at the Kilimanjaro/Arusha Airport you will be transferred to Arusha where your safari adventure begins amid lush gardens and views of Mount Meru. Enjoy a relaxed afternoon settling into your lodge and receiving a detailed safari briefing. This calm introduction sets the stage for the wild days ahead.

After breakfast, depart for Lake Manyara National Park, a lush and diverse ecosystem nestled at the base of the Rift Valley escarpment. Explore groundwater forests, open grasslands and the lake shore, home to flamingos, elephants and the famous tree-climbing lions. The day ends with a scenic drive to your lodge in Karatu for dinner and a restful night.

Journey toward the vast southern plains of the Serengeti, where landscapes open endlessly and wildlife numbers grow dramatically. Upon arrival in Ndutu, enjoy an afternoon game drive among massive wildebeest herds gathering for calving. Predator sightings increase as lions and cheetahs follow the migration.

Spend a full day exploring the Ndutu plains, the epicenter of the Great Migration calving season. Witness thousands of newborn wildebeest, dramatic predator hunts and endless herds stretching across the horizon. Flexible game drives allow you to follow wildlife movements throughout the day.

After an early breakfast, travel toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, upon arrival descend into the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater. Explore this natural wildlife sanctuary, home to the Big Five and one of Africa’s densest wildlife populations. After the game drive, return to Arusha for an airport drop off (depending on the schedule of your international flight), where your adventure concludes.
