8 Days Ndutu Migration Safari

Depart Arusha and travel directly toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Ndutu short-grass plains. Arrive in the Southern Serengeti ecosystem for an afternoon migration game drive among wildebeest, zebra and predators.

Spend the full day exploring Ndutu and the surrounding Southern Serengeti plains. Follow the seasonal wildebeest and zebra herds while searching for lions, cheetahs, hyenas and other predators drawn to the calving ecosystem.

Use a second complete day in Ndutu to follow the migration according to current herd movements and wildlife activity. The extra day allows more flexibility to explore the short-grass plains, woodland edges and seasonal water areas frequented by the herds and predators.

Begin with another morning game drive in Ndutu, then transfer north toward Central Serengeti during the afternoon. Spend the rest of the day game driving through Seronera's kopjes, valleys and acacia-dotted plains.

Dedicate the full day to Central Serengeti with your driver-guide. Explore river valleys, kopjes and open plains known for resident lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes and abundant plains game.

Leave Central Serengeti early and travel to Ngorongoro Crater. Descend into the caldera for a full-day guided game drive through grasslands, wetlands and forest habitats. In the evening, ascend and transfer to Karatu.

Transfer early to Lake Eyasi and meet the Hadzabe community. Join them during their traditional hunting and gathering activities, then visit local blacksmiths to learn about their metalworking traditions. Continue to the lake area before returning to Karatu in the evening.

Transfer early to Tarangire National Park for morning and afternoon game drives among giant baobabs, elephant herds and the wildlife-rich Tarangire River ecosystem. Later, leave the park and continue to Arusha, where the safari ends.
