Ndutu Region of Serengeti National Park
Day 2 and 3, January 23 and 24
The Ndutu Region forms part of the northern section of Ngorongoro Conservation Area and stretches to the unfenced southern reaches of the Serengeti National Park, a meeting point between these two incredible wilderness areas. This section of the park is made up of rolling grasslands peppered with alkaline lakes that attract flocks of flamingos, as well as acacia woodlands. Thereโs year-round resident wildlife (such as giraffe, elephant, hyena and various antelope species) in the Ndutu Region, and you can spot animals around the waterholes during the dry season from June to November. Look out for the six cat species โ lion, cheetah, leopard, serval, African wild cat and caracal โ that are present throughout the year.
The best months to visit the Ndutu Region are from December, when the Great Migration herds start to arrive from the north, until April when the millions of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle have trekked northwards again. In the early months of the year (January). the wildebeest herds are calving on the verdant grassy plains: thousands upon thousands of baby animals are born every day, attracting the attention of cheetah, lion and hyena.
Here we will spend two days on a game drive in the Ndutu Area, Southern Serengeti.
Focus: The Miracle of Life Unfolds! Dive into a full day of wildlife action in the Ndutu Area, where calving brings new life and intense struggle to survive.
