Why this Package

A captivating 5-day safari adventure through the Central Serengeti, Ndutu Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater awaits you. This journey is perfect for those looking to witness the incredible wildlife spectacle during the calving season, where you can observe predator-prey interactions in their natural habitat.

Your stay at Ndutu Wildlands Camp offers a unique blend of adventure and comfort. Nestled in the heart of the Ndutu plains, this mid-range tented camp is open during the calving season (Dec–Mar), providing you with a front-row seat to the dramatic wildlife events that unfold here. Enjoy hearty meals, including early teas, picnic breakfasts, and communal dinners that foster a sense of camaraderie among guests.

The camp features comfortable Meru-style tents equipped with en-suite bathrooms, ensuring a cozy retreat after a day of exploration. With access to off-road permits, you can closely follow the thrilling pursuits of cheetahs and lions, making it ideal for photographers and wildlife enthusiasts alike.

As you transition to the Ngorongoro Crater, the experience continues with breathtaking views and abundant wildlife. The crater is renowned for its diverse ecosystems and is home to the Big Five, making it a must-visit on your safari itinerary. The journey from your lodge to the crater gate is relatively short, allowing you to maximize your time in this remarkable area.

For a well-rounded experience, your safari also includes a stay at Suricata Boma Lodge in Karatu, where you can enjoy fresh, locally sourced meals and modern accommodations.

Book with the Right Tour Operator

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.
