Day 2
Ndutu Safari Adventure, Witness Wildebeest Calving & Predator Action in the Southern Serengeti
Program of the day: Start early with breakfast to fuel up for a thrilling adventure in the Southern Serengeti (Ndutu area). Embark on a morning game drive across the savannah, observing wildlife in their natural habitats. Ndutu is famous during the wildebeest calving season (late December–March), when over 400,000 calves are born on nutrient-rich grasslands, attracting predators like lions, cheetahs, and hyenas. Witness the raw dynamics of predator and prey in this iconic landscape. Return to the lodge to rest before dinner and an overnight stay. A packed lunch will be served at a scenic picnic site during the afternoon game drive, which concludes around 4:00 pm. Dinner is served from 7:00 to 9:30 pm.

Program of the day: Today, you’ll wake up early and enjoy a delicious breakfast before heading out in your private 4x4 safari Jeep to the Ndutu area of the Serengeti to witness the great migration. Keep your eyes peeled for leopards, cheetahs, lions, wildebeests, zebras, and other herbivores, especially during the calving season. In the afternoon, you’ll depart for Karatu, arriving at your accommodation for the night. Staying in Karatu positions you perfectly to descend into Ngorongoro Crater early the next morning, when wildlife is most active. Serengeti National Park is famous for the spectacular migration, the largest herd movement of wildebeests, zebras, and other animals, which is highly dependent on the rainfall season. The best time to experience it is mid-December to early April, during the calving season.
