Arusha Tour Itinerary

Day 1

Day 1 Arusha - Ndutu Area Southern Serengeti

5-Day Ndutu Migration Footstep -Calving Season Safari

Day 1
Arusha - Ndutu Area Southern Serengeti
You will be picked up from Arusha at 7:30 am, then depart to the Ndutu area in Serengeti South. Enjoy a full-day game drive viewing the great wildebeest migration. During lunchtime, your driver will set and prepare the table for a full, hot meal (soup, bread rolls, main dish and a fruit salad) followed by a glass of wine or tea/coffee. In the late afternoon, we return to the camp at Ngorongoro for dinner and our overnight stay.

Explore the range of different habitats that include swamps, woodland, soda lakes, and the world-famous Serengeti short grassplains. See great herds of wildebeest and zebra. During a short time frame around February, normally lasting for about 3 weeks, the majority of the wildebeest calve. The sea of grass provides little cover and the young are easy pickings for a variety of predators. Wildebeest calves can run minutes after they are born and within 3 days they are normally strong enough to keep up with the herd.

"Magnificent wildlife - the only living things which look as if they really belonged to it are the wild animals. Between the animals and Africa there is an understanding that the human beings have not yet earned" - Laurens van der Post, Venture to the Interior, 1963.

Today, the Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and the Maasai Mara National Reserve across the border in Kenya, protect the greatest and most varied collection of terrestrial wildlife on earth and one of the last great migratory systems still intact.
