You will kick-start your day after a delicious breakfast, by about 8AM. The destination for today is the Ndutu region which is a 3hr drive from your accommodation in Karatu. After about an hour commencing the drive, you will enter the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (Ngorongoro) where you will notice the landscape changing from hilly forests to plain and green grasslands as you drive further.
Once you reach Ndutu you will begin your day game drive with a convenient stop for your picnic lunch. Sweeping grasslands of the Ndutu cover the region which gradually fade into the Serengeti. Ndutu forms a part of the route for the annual migration of more than 2 million wildebeests and thousands of zebra, antelope and gazelle. During game drives at the right season between December and April, you will be able to see the fertile plains turn into calving grounds and nursery for the great migration. The calving season attracts hordes of predators preying on vulnerable young wildebeest. Crested with Ndutu lake and Lake Masek, these waterholes offer plenty of wildlife game during the dry season. The Ndutu is also the home ground for 6 species of big cats – leopard, lion, cheetah, caracal, serval and wildcat.
Breakfast included as part of your safari.
Picnic lunch provided during the game drive in Ndutu Area.
After the game drive, you will head towards your choice of accommodation, where a freshly prepared dinner awaits you.

Today is the first of two full days of game drives on these grasslands and acacia forests. During the migration season, you won’t have to look long or hard to spot the uncountable wildebeests and their young populating these savannahs. The same is true for the big cats that prowl these fields – lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, caracal, serval, and African wildcats. They too are attracted to the vulnerable new-borns as prey for themselves and for their own newly born young. What follows is a life-and-death struggle between the animal mothers protecting their young and the predators seeking their own survival. The emotions that can arise during this wildlife drama add to this unforgettable spectacle.

Even during the dry season, you can expect to find plenty of wildlife in the Ndutu region, as many animals make this their home here year-round, especially in the forests. Along with the big cats, we will be looking for elephants, giraffes, antelope, hyenas, monkeys, baboons, and a startling canopy of birdlife.
If you wish, we can leave our 4 x 4 Jeep for a guided walking safari and get a closer perspective on the land and its flora and fauna.
