Why this Package

When calves drop in Ndutu, this 6-Day safari tour delivers thrilling lion-cheetah interplay plus crater rhino chances, exploring the stunning Ndutu Serengeti, Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. Experience the excitement of the wildebeest calving season while staying at Jackals Lair Tented Camp, where you can enjoy authentic canvas comfort and attentive hosting. Located in the heart of the Serengeti, this upper mid-range camp allows you to embark on game drives just minutes after sunrise, maximizing your wildlife viewing opportunities.

At Jackals Lair, meals are a highlight, featuring pre-dawn coffee and light bites, hearty hot breakfasts, and picnic lunches that keep you on the move. Dinners are plated and satisfying, with options for vegetarian and vegan diets available upon request. The Meru-style tents provide a cozy retreat, complete with proper beds, en-suite bathrooms, and a communal lounge tent for evening relaxation around a campfire.

Your adventure continues at the Ngorongoro Oldeani Mountain Lodge, perched on a ridge with expansive views of the highlands. This lodge offers a stately atmosphere, generous public areas, and well-executed cuisine that blends international favorites with regional flavors. The high-ceilinged suites feature fireplaces and wide verandas, providing a perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploration.

Finally, immerse yourself in the dramatic landscapes of Untamed Migration Camp Ndutu, where you can witness the incredible wildlife drama of the calving season. With spacious dome tents and hearty meals, this upper mid-range mobile camp places you right in the action, allowing for long days of game viewing in the vibrant plains.

Each park offers unique experiences; the Ngorongoro Crater is renowned for its Big 5 sightings, while the Serengeti is famous for its great migration routes and big cats. This itinerary is perfect for both first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers looking to deepen their wildlife experience.

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.
