Tips

Package Price for 5 Days Wildebeest Calving Safari in Ndutu, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro

The estimated price is USD 2,580 to USD 3,000 per person sharing, based on two or more travelers. This rate is not the solo-traveler price and does not include international flights to or from your home country.

Several factors can influence the final cost. These include the level of accommodation, services selected, number of travelers, and what is included in the final arrangement. When more people travel together, the cost per person may decrease because certain safari expenses are shared. Lower-priced arrangements may also exclude services such as airport transfers or Arusha accommodation.

Central Serengeti offers opportunities to see large herbivores and predators across open plains. Ndutu is the main focus during the calving season, with wildebeest, zebra, gazelles and predators among the wildlife you may encounter.
