Central Serengeti National Park Game Drive
After breakfast at the camp, you will continue with a safari at central Serengeti, Serengeti National Park is Africa’s most famous park due to the largest concentration of game on the continent and the migration of millions of wildebeest. The most impressive nature documentaries were shot in this beautiful park. ‘Serengeti’ comes from the Maasai language meaning ‘endless plains’ and this rightly describes it. With almost 15,000 km2 (6,000 sq miles), Serengeti National Park is the second largest park in Tanzania. The annual wildebeest migration of more than a million wildebeest is probably Serengeti’s main attraction. It is a truly impressive sight to see all those mammals thunder across the Serengeti plains, in search of water and fresh grass. A dangerous journey for the wildebeest and zebras.

5.0/5Amazing!
Contact with the organization was fantastic! Easy and quick to reach via the app. They listened to our wishes but also offered tips based on their experience to make adjustments. Credit card payments were also handled smoothly. Our guide, Gilbert, was truly fantastic! With passion and respect for the animals and the environment, he drove us around for four days. He's a fantastic guide who knows the area incredibly well. While some jeeps got stuck in the mud (in the Serengeti), Gilbert knew exactly how his jeep worked! Everything else was perfectly organized, from accommodation to all meals. We will never forget this trip and our guide. I recommend this organization and guide 100%!

Best safari tour company!
It was the best choice to go on a 5 days safari journey with Ndutu Green Explorers, especially with the specialist guide Omary. All journey was extremely smooth and well organised, we didn't have any chance to feel insecure, bored or stuck. Omary was always there for us, listening to our needs well, calm, kind and polite. Traveling with him was such a treat for us. He's a true nature lover, so knowledgeable about plants and animals in Tanzania. He also had respect for animals, which makes me feel better to get into the sanctuary for them. Every day was an amazing adventure, we could encounter so many unforgettable moments - my favourite is the baby elephant playing in the mud. Omary was really good at finding animals. All the accommodation and food was really good quality. I can't recommend more, thanks for your service!

Amazing 4 day safari, including proposal!
We booked a 4 day safari with Ndutu Green explorers. Rachel was fantastic with helping plan and book exactly want I want with some last minute changes to hotel too. We landed at the airport and were greeted by Gilbert! He was so friendly and accommodating from the get go. You knew and understood exactly what we wanted without much explanation. We were then treated to 4 days of amazing wildlife. Gilbert always seemed to know exactly where to be and always placed the jeep in exactly the right spot! We had some amazing encounters because of Gilbert’s hard work for us, like a leopard, loads of lion including mating and even a hunt and attack. I couldn’t recommend Gilbert more highly to anyone looking to come visit the Serengeti and Tanzania for Safari.

An Unforgettable Safari Experience
Our guide, Gilbert, was absolutely amazing and truly made this safari unforgettable. He always managed to get us the best spots and seemed to know exactly where to be at the right time. Calm, knowledgeable, and always smiling, he is the definition of Hakuna Matata. Thanks to him, we saw an incredible variety of wildlife from giraffes and elephants to leopards, cheetahs and lions. I couldn’t recommend Gilbert and Ndutu Green explorers more highly. Thank you again for making this trip unforgettable!
