Why this Package

Photographers love this 4-Day safari tour: explore the stunning landscapes of Central Serengeti and witness the remarkable calving season in Ndutu. This adventure combines the comforts of mid-range and upper mid-range lodges with the thrill of bush flights from Zanzibar to the Serengeti.

Your journey begins in the heart of the Central Serengeti, where you'll stay at Hippo Trails Camp. This mid-range tented camp offers an immersive experience with its prime location near the Seronera River Valley, providing excellent opportunities to spot big cats and hippos. Meals are hearty and filling, featuring early teas, picnic breakfasts, and communal dinners. The Meru-style tents are equipped with comfortable beds, en-suite bathrooms, and a cozy mess tent for relaxation.

Next, you'll head to Ang’ata Migration – Ndutu Camp, a seasonal camp perfectly positioned for witnessing the wildebeest calving from December to March. Here, the simplicity of the camp is complemented by its strategic location in predator territory, enhancing your chances of capturing incredible wildlife moments. Enjoy straightforward meals, including picnic breakfasts and communal dinners, while staying in simple canvas tents with en-suite bathrooms.

This safari is ideal for first-time visitors looking to experience the breathtaking wildlife of Tanzania, particularly during the calving season. The combination of two nights in the Serengeti allows for deeper exploration and more opportunities to witness the incredible wildlife action. From the thrill of off-road game drives to the serene sunsets over the plains, this trip promises unforgettable memories.

With easy access to both camps from local airstrips, you can maximize your time in the parks, ensuring you don’t miss the spectacular sights of the Serengeti and the unique calving season in Ndutu. Experience the magic of Tanzania's wildlife on this captivating safari.
