Pre-Safari Briefing:
The Ndutu Plains, located within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the Southern Serengeti, is a vast expanse of short-grass plains and acacia woodlands. From January to March, over half a million wildebeest converge here to give birth. The abundance of nutrient-rich grass and the open terrain, which offers some protection from predators, makes it the perfect nursery. This results in a dramatic, high-stakes ecosystem where the cycle of life and death plays out on a breathtaking scale.

Your Safari Vehicle: A private, pop-top 4x4 Land Cruiser, equipped with a VHF radio, fridge for drinks, charging ports, and guaranteed window seats.
