5 Days Private Luxury Ndutu Migration from Zanzibar

Your migration safari adventure begins early as you're picked up from your Arusha hotel and driven to the Ndutu region, a 5.5-hour journey covering 260 km. Along the way, you’ll pass through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where the landscape transforms from hilly forests to lush grasslands. Once in Ndutu, embark on a thrilling half-day game drive with a picnic lunch amid sweeping grasslands that gradually blend into the Serengeti. Witness part of the great migration route, where over 2 million wildebeests and thousands of zebras, antelopes, and gazelles roam. During the prime calving season (December, January, February, and March), see young wildebeest vulnerable to predators, showcasing the raw circle of life. The Ndutu and Masek lakes, vital water sources during the dry season, attract diverse wildlife. Your action-filled day concludes around 5 PM, heading to your chosen accommodation for a delicious dinner and much-needed rest.

Stunned by the previous days spotting of the migration, today you get another chance to view the beautiful wildlife spectacle. The Ndutu region is a part of the glorious Serengeti National Park as well as the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA). Heading out for a full day game drive after breakfast, today you will be following the migration depending on its location in either NCA or Serengeti. During game drives at the right season between December and April, you will be able to see the fertile plains turn into calving grounds and nursery for the great migration. This season attracts hordes of predators prying on vulnerable young wildebeest. Watching the circle of life take it's course will be an unforgettable experience etched for life. The action-packed game drive will end late in the evening by around 5PM. You will now head towards your choice of accommodation, where a freshly prepared dinner awaits you.

Enjoy a picnic lunch during the day-long game drive while immersing yourself in the raw beauty of Africa. As the eventful day ends, return to your accommodation for a hearty dinner and a restful night.
