Why this Package

Experience the wonders of Ndutu Serengeti, Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro on this immersive 6-day safari. Covering the dramatic calving season in Ndutu, this tour offers a unique opportunity to witness the Great Wildebeest Migration firsthand while enjoying the comforts of mid-range accommodations.

Your adventure begins at Nyikani Migration Camp Ndutu, a seasonal camp set up to track the calving of wildebeests from December to March. This camp is perfect for those who prioritize location over luxury, providing a straightforward yet comfortable experience. Enjoy hearty meals featuring picnic breakfasts and communal dinners, all while surrounded by the stunning landscapes of the southern Serengeti. The seasonal canvas tents come equipped with beds, mosquito nets, and en-suite bathrooms, ensuring a practical setup for your stay.

After your time in Ndutu, you will head to the Central Serengeti and stay at Tukaone Hembe Serengeti Camp. This mid-range tented camp offers a rustic and intimate atmosphere, ideal for those seeking reliable predator sightings without the higher costs of luxury lodges. Meals here are hearty and simple, with communal dining that fosters a sense of camaraderie among guests. The Meru-style tents are equipped with essential comforts, ensuring a restful night after exhilarating game drives.

Your final stop will be the Ngorongoro Crater, where you will descend into this UNESCO World Heritage Site, known for its rich wildlife concentration. Although your stay at Tanzanice Farm Lodge will require a short drive to the crater, the homely atmosphere and delicious farm-to-table meals make it a delightful base for exploring this iconic location. With en-suite rooms that offer views of the surrounding coffee fields, this lodge provides a warm and welcoming experience.

With multiple nights in each area, you will have ample time to soak in the breathtaking landscapes and diverse wildlife, making this safari perfect for both first-time visitors and seasoned travelers. Witness the sunrise over the plains, listen to the sounds of nature, and create unforgettable memories on this remarkable journey through Tanzania's most celebrated parks.

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.
