Destinations Covered on the 4 Days Ndutu Wildebeest Migration Safari in February 2027/2028

Tarangire National Park

Tarangire provides a rewarding opening game drive with its famous elephants, large baobab trees and diverse wildlife. You may also encounter giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, antelopes, lions and abundant birdlife while traveling through different habitats.

Ndutu Area for Calving Season

Ndutu is the heart of this seasonal safari. The Southern Serengeti and Ndutu areas are among the best locations in January, February and March to witness thousands of wildebeest gathered around the short-grass plains. February is particularly important for calving, when newborn animals attract intense predator activity.

Ngorongoro Crater

The Ngorongoro Crater adds a spectacular final game drive. Its enclosed ecosystem supports elephants, buffaloes, lions, hyenas, hippos, zebras, wildebeest, gazelles and many bird species. Descending into the crater gives you a concentrated wildlife-viewing opportunity before returning to Arusha.
