Why this Package
Photographers love this 4-Day safari tour: experience the breathtaking landscapes of Central Serengeti and the vibrant wildlife of Ndutu Serengeti during the calving season. This journey combines the comforts of an upper mid-range tented camp with the thrill of witnessing newborn wildebeest and the dramatic predator interactions that unfold on the plains.
Your adventure begins at Jackals Lair Tented Camp, nestled in the heart of Central Serengeti (Seronera). Here, you’ll enjoy authentic canvas comfort, attentive service, and the opportunity to embark on game drives just minutes after sunrise. The camp offers hearty meals, including pre-dawn coffee and picnic breakfasts, allowing you to maximize your time in the field. Dinners are plated and satisfying, featuring seasonal ingredients with vegetarian options available upon request.
Accommodations include spacious Meru-style tents on raised decks, complete with proper beds, en-suite bathrooms with hot showers, and a communal lounge area perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. The camp's location ensures quick access to key wildlife areas, making it an ideal base for your safari.
As you transition to Untamed Migration Camp Ndutu, you’ll find yourself in the midst of the calving season, where the short-grass plains come alive with the sounds of newborn calves. This mobile-style camp allows you to stay close to the action, with picnic lunches keeping you near the herds and hearty dinners back at camp. The spacious dome tents provide comfort and warmth, ensuring a restful night under the stars.
With a mix of thrilling wildlife encounters and comfortable accommodations, this safari is perfect for first-time visitors or those looking to combine their adventure with a trip to Zanzibar or a climb of Mount Kilimanjaro. Experience the magic of the Serengeti and create unforgettable memories in one of the world's most iconic wildlife destinations.
