Why this Package

Time your 6-Day safari tour to chase cheetah hunts on Seronera plains and the calving surge on Ndutu’s short grass (Dec–Mar). This adventure takes you through the breathtaking landscapes of Central Serengeti and the vibrant Ndutu Serengeti, where wildlife encounters are nothing short of spectacular. Your journey begins with a scenic flight from Zanzibar to the heart of the Serengeti, allowing you to maximize your time in the wild.

Stay at the Malaika Ndutu Luxury Camp, an upper mid-range seasonal camp nestled in the Ndutu plains. Open during the calving season, it offers a polished yet affordable base for couples, groups, and photographers eager to witness the dramatic wildlife spectacle. Enjoy meals that include early teas, picnic breakfasts, and plated dinners featuring both international and Swahili specialties. Your spacious canvas tent comes equipped with comfortable beds, en-suite bathrooms, and a private veranda, perfect for relaxing after a day of thrilling game drives.

In the Central Serengeti, you will also experience the luxurious Serengeti Lake Magadi Lodge. This lodge is strategically located near the alkaline Lake Magadi, renowned for its diverse birdlife and resident big cats. Families and couples will appreciate the solid-structure rooms with en-suite bathrooms and private verandas, as well as the inviting dining terrace that offers stunning views. Meals here include buffet-style breakfasts and picnic lunches for your game drives, ensuring you are well-fueled for your adventures.

With off-road driving privileges at Ndutu, you can closely track predators, a rare opportunity in most of the Serengeti National Park. The central location of your accommodations ensures reliable game drives, allowing you to explore the rich wildlife of the Serengeti while enjoying the comforts of your lodges. This safari is ideal for both first-time visitors and seasoned travelers looking to deepen their connection with Tanzania's incredible landscapes and wildlife.
