Why this Package

Short but potent, this 6-Day safari tour pairs daily predator traffic with the Ndutu Serengeti and Central Serengeti, where the calving stage unfolds as the rains arrive. Experience the thrill of wildlife encounters while enjoying the comforts of mid-range accommodations. Start your adventure at Friends Serengeti Tented Camp, located in the Central Serengeti, which offers affordable access to Seronera’s predator-rich valleys. This camp is perfect for small groups and adventurous couples seeking simple comforts without sacrificing the excitement of game viewing.

Meals at Friends Serengeti are hearty and straightforward, featuring early tea or coffee, picnic breakfasts, picnic lunches, and communal dinners that fill you up after a long day of exploration. The Meru-style tents provide a cozy retreat with beds, mosquito nets, and en-suite bathrooms, ensuring a comfortable stay amidst the wild.

After your time in Central Serengeti, you will head to Ndutu Wildlands Camp, a mid-range tented camp in the Ndutu plains, renowned for its proximity to the calving grounds. This camp opens during the calving season (December to March) and offers a front-row seat to one of nature’s most dramatic wildlife events. With off-road permits, you can closely follow predators, making it ideal for photographers and wildlife enthusiasts alike.

At Ndutu Wildlands, enjoy basic but filling meals, including early tea, packed lunches to maximize your time on the plains, and plated dinners. The Meru-style tents here also come equipped with en-suite bathrooms, ensuring a comfortable and rustic experience.

Access to both camps is convenient, with short transfers from nearby airstrips, allowing you to spend more time immersed in the stunning landscapes and wildlife of the Serengeti. This safari is perfect for repeat visitors and first-timers alike, offering an unforgettable journey through two of Tanzania's most iconic regions.

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. 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.
