6-Day Ndutu South Serengeti Migration Calving Season

This migration tour in the southern part of the Serengeti and the northern part of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area will give you the very best game viewing full of adventure. This place does offer the best spot for cheetah which most of the time has been spotted climbing on the bonnet of safari trucks as they are used to safari trucks.

Afterward, start a drive of 55 km to Arusha, the safari destination city located in the north part of Tanzania. On your way to Arusha, you may be lucky to see or view the highest free-standing mountain in Africa which is Mt Kilimanjaro. However, this depends if the day is clear as most of the time it is covered by clouds. You will drive straight to your accommodation in Arusha for dinner and your overnight rest.

Day 2

Arusha to Tarangire National Park

After breakfast at the hotel, depart for Tarangire, Tanzania’s third-largest national park and sanctuary for an unusually large elephant population. Majestic baobab trees are an interesting feature of the park, dwarfing the animals that feed beneath them. Animals concentrate along the Tarangire River, which provides the only permanent water supply in the area. There is a great diversity of wildlife including lions, leopards, cheetahs and up to six thousand elephants. Enjoy a game drive with a picnic lunch. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at your accommodation.

Ngorongoro Crater to Ndutu

You’ll have an early breakfast then take a picnic lunch and continue to Ngorongoro Crater for a full-time crater tour. Arriving there you will descend to the Ngorongoro Crater enjoying the caldera full of animals. In a matter of minutes, you will be able to see wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, elephants and some of more than 500 bird species in the area. With a little bit of luck, you might catch a glimpse of the endangered black rhino through the grass.
Later you will ascend from the crater and head to the Ndutu area. It’s the area in Ngorongoro and the southern part of the Serengeti ecosystem for an overnight stay.
