Overview

Ndutu plain, these short-grass plains stretch from the western side of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area to the southeast Serengeti national park, The southeastern portion of Serengeti is teeming with wildlife year-round, but the peak in terms of wildlife density is between December and April. Giant herds of wildebeest and zebra are attracted by the seasonal rains pouring down. During this period the best area to see wildlife is around Lake Ndutu, in the heart of the wildebeest gathering. This is where female wildebeest give birth to countless calves and therefore makes up one of the highlights of the Great Migration. All these young herbivores serve as a magnet to predators with the result of southeastern Serengeti becoming the dramatic scene of new life and death.

You will also discover the Ngorongoro Crater, hailed as one of the Natural Wonders of the World, and home to both predator and prey.

Game drives among the ancient baobabs in Tarangire National Park, known for its large concentration of elephants.
