Details
An experience truly not to be missed.
This meticulously crafted itinerary promises to immerse you in one of the most spectacular wildlife events on the planet. Join us for a journey that will leave you with lifelong memories of the calving season in Ndutu, where nature's beauty unfolds in breathtaking ways!
Your 4-day safari in Tanzania begins with a pick-up in Arusha. The drive takes you through the impressive Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Even here, you'll be treated to spectacular views of the legendary caldera.
We continue in the
Serengeti National Park, whose name comes from the Maasai language and means “endless plain”. On your first game drive through the vast grassy plains you will encounter fascinating wildlife: lions, leopards, cheetahs and huge herds of wildebeest and zebras. The Serengeti has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1981 and is home to over 4,000 lions and 1,000 leopards. An exciting start to your safari adventure!
Welcome to the heart of the Great Migration! Today you will experience the highlight of your 4-day safari in Tanzania: a full-day game drive through the southern Serengeti and the legendary Ndutu region.
The vast plains, with their nutrient-rich volcanic soils and short grasses, offer perfect conditions for wildlife viewing. Here, over 1.5 million wildebeest gather during calving season to give birth to their young. The synchronized birth of hundreds of thousands of calves within a few weeks is a survival strategy of nature. It overwhelms predators and gives the newborns a better chance of survival.
But where new life is born, dangers lurk: lions, cheetahs, hyenas, and jackals are at their most active. Every moment feels like a scene from a nature documentary!
The morning begins with an early game drive in the Ndutu region. The alkaline lakes, Ndutu and Masek, offer picturesque scenery and attract a diverse array of birdlife. A unique feature of Ndutu is that off-road driving is permitted! This allows you to get even closer to the wildlife and observe cheetahs hunting or wildebeest mothers with their calves at close range.
This afternoon, your 4-day safari in Tanzania takes you to the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. Enjoy the breathtaking view down into the vast caldera, a lost paradise considered one of the Seven Wonders of Africa. The sunset over the crater is pure magic and sets the stage for tomorrow's highlight.
The grand finale of your 4-day safari in Tanzania! After an early start, you descend into the
Ngorongoro Crater, The largest intact volcanic caldera in the world. With a depth of 610 meters and an area of approximately 260 square kilometers, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to around 25,000 large mammals.
Africa's highest density of predators offers excellent chances of seeing all of the Big Five, including the rare black rhinoceros. Within minutes, you'll see wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, elephants, and, with a bit of luck, the critically endangered black rhino. A picnic at Hippo Pool completes the experience before you leave the crater and are transferred to Kilimanjaro Airport for your departure.
Your safari ends with a heart full of memories, but hopefully the pictures of Ndutu will stay with you forever!
