Destinations Covered on 3 Days Ndutu Wildebeest Migration Safari in January 2027/2028

Ndutu Area – The Calving Season

Ndutu is the central highlight, especially during January when the short-grass plains become an important calving ground. More than 1.5 million wildebeest gather around the wider migration region, while zebras and other grazing animals move through the plains. The concentration of prey can also attract lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas, creating excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing and photography.

Ngorongoro Crater – A Remarkable Wildlife Setting

The Ngorongoro Crater adds a dramatic contrast to the Ndutu plains. Its enclosed landscape supports a rich variety of wildlife, including lions, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, hyenas, and many bird species. A crater game drive gives this three-day safari another memorable wildlife setting before continuing toward Ndutu.
