Why this Package
When calves drop in Ndutu, this 6-day safari tour explores the stunning landscapes of Ndutu Serengeti, Central Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater, offering a unique blend of wildlife encounters and breathtaking scenery. Experience the dramatic interplay between lions and cheetahs during the calving season while enjoying the comforts of well-appointed lodges.
Your adventure begins at the Farm of Dreams Lodge in Karatu, a spacious mid-range base that features a large swimming pool and beautifully landscaped grounds. The lodge offers hearty buffet-style meals, with options for early breakfasts and packed lunches, ensuring you’re well-fed and ready for your daily adventures. The cozy rooms overlook tropical gardens and are equipped with en-suite bathrooms, providing a comfortable retreat after a day of exploration.
Next, you’ll venture into the heart of the action at Into Wild Africa Tented Camp in the Central Serengeti. This upper mid-range camp is designed for those seeking an authentic safari experience without compromising on comfort. Enjoy plated dinners featuring international and Swahili flavors, and relax in large canvas tents that come with en-suite bathrooms and private verandas, perfect for soaking in the sights and sounds of the Serengeti. Its central location ensures you’re well-positioned for year-round wildlife sightings, particularly the iconic big cats.
Your journey culminates with a visit to the Ngorongoro Crater, where you’ll have the chance to witness the diverse wildlife that inhabits this UNESCO World Heritage site. The crater’s unique ecosystem offers opportunities to see the Big Five and other remarkable species in their natural habitat.
