Why do safari with us?
4.8/5 12 Reviews
Experience the wildlife spectacle of Ndutu on a compact 3-day fly-in, fly-out safari that maximises time on the plains and minimises road travel. Board a short charter to Ndutu Airstrip and be met by your lodge for seamless transfers to comfortable tented camps or lodges close to the calving grounds. Enjoy long morning and golden evening game drives with expert guides who follow herd movements to position you for excellent sightings and photography. This package is perfect for travellers short on time but eager for big-game encounters — especially during the wildebeest calving season (December–March), when predator activity and newborn calves concentrate on the Ndutu plains.
After breakfast you will be transferred from your hotel to Kilimanjaro (JRO) or Arusha airport for a short charter flight to Ndutu Airstrip. On arrival at Ndutu Airstrip your guide will be waiting to meet you; you’ll transfer straight into the vehicle and begin your game drive. Ndutu is famed for its wide open plains and the wildebeest calving spectacle, where large herds and newborn calves attract predators such as lions, cheetahs and hyenas. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the field surrounded by wildlife, then continue afternoon game drives to explore different areas and maximise sightings and photography opportunities. In the evening return to your lodge or tented camp for dinner and rest.
Meal Plan: Lunch and Dinner.
Accommodation: Tanzania Bush Camp Ndutu or similar lodge in Ndutu Area
Room plan: Double Occupancy
After breakfast, you will spend the entire day exploring the Ndutu area, which is the prime location for the spectacular Calving Migration. During this season, hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and zebra gather here to give birth to their young, attracting a high concentration of predators such as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas.
Enjoy both a morning and afternoon game drive, with a picnic lunch in the field to maximize your time in the heart of the action. The open plains and woodlands of Ndutu provide excellent opportunities for wildlife photography and unforgettable safari experiences.
In the evening, return to your lodge or camp for dinner and relaxation.
