Why this Package

When timing aligns, a 4-Day safari tour here means witnessing the **steady cats** in Central Serengeti and the **mass nursery scenes** on the **Ndutu plains** during the calving season. This journey begins in **Zanzibar**, where you’ll fly directly to the heart of the action, enjoying the comforts of **Malaika Ndutu Luxury Camp**, a seasonal camp that opens its doors during this spectacular wildlife event.

At **Malaika Ndutu**, you’ll find a polished yet affordable base designed for adventurous safari-goers. The camp offers spacious canvas tents with en-suite bathrooms, providing a cozy retreat after a day of tracking predators across the plains. Meals are a delightful mix of international staples and Swahili specialties, served in a shared dining tent, enhancing the communal atmosphere.

After your stay in Ndutu, you’ll transition to the **Dove Serengeti Tented Camp** in the **Central Serengeti**. This upper mid-range camp is perfectly situated near **Seronera**, ensuring year-round wildlife action. Here, you can enjoy classic Meru-style tents with en-suite facilities, hot bucket showers, and a warm campfire atmosphere in the evenings. The dining experience includes early teas, picnic breakfasts, and plated three-course dinners, all designed to maximize your safari experience.

Access to both camps is convenient, with short transfers from nearby airstrips, allowing you to spend more time on game drives. The **Central Serengeti** is renowned for its high game densities, making it an ideal choice for first-time visitors eager to see the **Big Cats** in their natural habitat. Meanwhile, the **Ndutu plains** offer unique off-road driving privileges, allowing for close encounters with the wildlife.

This tour is perfect for couples, groups, and photographers looking to immerse themselves in one of Africa’s greatest wildlife spectacles. Experience the thrill of the calving season and the vibrant ecosystem of the Serengeti, all while enjoying the comforts of well-appointed lodges.

Book with the Right Tour Operator

Each safari company has its own strengths — some specialize in luxury safaris, some in mid-range, and some in budget trips. Their expertise depends on years of experience in specific price categories, the quality of their guides and vehicles, and the lodge partnerships they’ve built over time. None of this is visible on websites or forums, which is why NMT connects you directly with the operators best suited to your safari tier.
