Day One; begins with a morning pickup from your hotel in Arusha. You’ll enjoy a scenic drive of approximately 5.5 hours to Ndutu, a region that spans the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This journey showcases Tanzania’s stunning landscapes, transitioning from lush highlands to open grasslands.

Day two; is dedicated to a full day of exploration in Ndutu. During this period, you’ll witness the spectacle of the Great Migration, where massive herds of wildebeests and zebras traverse the plains, providing dramatic scenes of survival and predation. This area is known for its high predator density, and during the right season, you may observe lions, cheetahs, and hyenas hunting for young wildebeests.
