4 Days Ndutu Calving Season Fly in Safari- Dec- March

After breakfast, transfer to the airport in Arusha or Zanzibar for your scheduled flight to the Ndutu airstrip in Southern Serengeti. Upon arrival, your Tanzania Classic Tours professional safari guide will welcome you and begin a game drive en route to camp. The Ndutu plains are already rich with wildlife, and you may spot large herds of wildebeests and zebras shortly after landing. After check-in and lunch (depending on arrival time), head out for an afternoon game drive, where you may witness predators such as lions and cheetahs drawn by the abundance of prey.

After an early breakfast, depart for a full day exploring the Ndutu region with your Tanzania Classic Tours professional safari guide. This is the peak calving season, where thousands of wildebeests give birth across the open plains. The presence of newborns attracts predators, making it one of the most action-packed wildlife periods in Africa. You will enjoy a picnic lunch in the bush, allowing you to stay out the entire day tracking herds and observing animal interactions. Expect to see wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, lions, hyenas, and possibly cheetahs hunting in the open plains.

Spend another full day in the Ndutu area, giving you more time to explore different sections of the southern Serengeti National Park. With your Tanzania Classic Tours professional safari guide, you will visit various habitats including open plains, acacia woodlands, and seasonal lakes. Early morning and late afternoon are the best times for predator activity, offering excellent opportunities for photography and close wildlife encounters. You may also witness interactions between mothers and newborn calves across the plains.

After an early breakfast, depart for Ngorongoro Crater. Descend into the crater for a half-day game drive in this unique ecosystem, home to a dense concentration of wildlife including lions, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, and the rare black rhinoceros. Enjoy a picnic lunch near a hippo pool before ascending the crater. Later, proceed to Arusha or transfer to the airport for your departure flight, marking the end of your unforgettable calving season safari.
