Destinations Covered on 5 Days Ndutu and Serengeti Wildebeest Migration Safari in January 2027/2028

Central Serengeti – 1 Night

Central Serengeti provides an excellent introduction to Tanzania's wildlife. Game drives can reveal lions, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, hyenas, gazelles, and many bird species. Its mix of grassland, rocky kopjes, and scattered vegetation creates varied opportunities for wildlife viewing.

Ndutu Area – 2 Nights

Ndutu is the major focus of this January safari because the southern plains become important calving grounds. Green grass, young animals, and predator activity can create remarkable game-viewing opportunities. Spend two nights here to allow more time for morning, afternoon, and late-day wildlife drives.

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater offers a very different landscape, with a broad enclosed ecosystem supporting abundant wildlife. During your crater drive, watch for lions, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, elephants, hippos, hyenas, flamingos, and other animals while enjoying dramatic crater scenery.
