Ndutu Area for Great Migration
Following breakfast, our experienced guide will collect you for a scenic drive to Serengeti Ndutu, nestled between the Serengeti and Ngorongoro regions. Ndutu emerges as a wildlife haven, particularly flourishing during the verdant months spanning from December to March. Situated in the southern expanse of the Serengeti plains, Ndutu boasts prime conditions for witnessing nature's spectacle, notably marked by the birth of approximately 8,000 wildebeest calves each day. Enveloped by an enchanting acacia tree forest, this area serves as a sanctuary for a diverse array of wildlife. Notably, it stands as a premier destination for observing six species of majestic felines, including the elusive leopard, regal lion, swift cheetah, graceful caracal, African wildcat, and elusive serval.

The crater floor is 1,800 meters (5,900 feet) above sea level, and the area has around 30,000 animals and a great variety of birds.

5.0/5Highneck went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing trip.
From start to finish the experience was well organized and every detail taken care of. The team made sure everything was arranged, before we arrived the payment process was easy and communication responses quick. Once in Tanzania the team continued their high quality service and made sure any special requests were taken care of. Our driver really knew his stuff and took care of us every step of the way. I had asked in advance to try and see the leopard and they delivered! A truly magical moment with memories to last a life time. 100% recommend.

Unforgettable honeymoon adventure in Tanzania's wild!
Our 9-day honeymoon safari last summer was absolutely amazing! Tanzania blew our minds with its stunning landscapes. We got to explore places like the Serengeti and Ngorongoro caldera, which were just out of this world. Our guide was incredible, sharing so much cool stuff about the wild and making every day super special. The whole trip was organized to perfection - we stayed in these awesome places and the food was just yummy. Plus, they threw in some sweet surprises for our honeymoon, which made us feel extra special. The effort they put into looking after the environment was the cherry on top. Seriously, if you're thinking of going on a safari, this is the way to do it. Totally unforgettable!

Unforgettable Last-Minute Adventure with Highneck Safari!
Booking my trip just few days before departure left me feeling uncertain, but Highneck Safari erased any doubts I had. From the moment I embarked on this journey, Mika and the team provided unparalleled service. Despite a minor hiccup with a delayed driver, Mika's prompt resolution reaffirmed their dedication to customer satisfaction. Throughout the trip, Mika's professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine care made me feel safe and supported, especially as a solo traveler in unfamiliar territory. I wholeheartedly recommend Highneck Safari to anyone planning a trip to Tanzania. Their commitment to excellence ensures an unforgettable experience that exceeds all expectations.
