Day 01

Arusha to Ndutu for a Full-Day Game Drive

  • After breakfast, tourists will be picked up from the hotel in Arusha and then transferred to Arusha Airport for a short flight of about 50 minutes, or travel by car in a 4x4 jeep with an open roof to the Serengeti North Ndutu Area. Upon arrival, tourists will meet the driver-guide for a full-day game drive in Ndutu to view the magnificent migration.
  • In the evening, we will drive to the camp for dinner and an overnight stay in the Lake Ndutu area, situated in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and part of the southern Serengeti ecosystem. Lake Ndutu is alkaline, like most of the other Rift lakes; however, the water is still drinkable and is used by a wide array of local wildlife. Most of the wildebeest migration can usually be found on the short-grass plains from December to April. The area is also heavily populated with elephants, spectacular birds, and resident game.
