Between late January and March the migration settles on the short-grass plains of Ndutu in the southern Serengeti, and around 500,000 wildebeest calves are born in a matter of weeks. It is the densest concentration of newborn prey anywhere on earth — and every predator in the ecosystem knows it.
This itinerary flies you straight in from Arusha to save a day of driving, gives you two full days in Ndutu, then moves north to Seronera before finishing with a half-day safari on the Ngorongoro Crater floor.
Collected from your Arusha hotel and flown to Ndutu, then straight out for an afternoon game drive across short-grass plains filled with wildebeest, zebra, elephant and the predators shadowing them.
Morning and afternoon drives tracking the herds, with newborn calves finding their feet within minutes of birth while cheetah, lion and hyena work the edges of the aggregation.
After breakfast, travel north to the heart of the Serengeti with game viewing en route. Seronera's rivers and kopjes hold resident predators year-round, so the sightings never really stop.
A final Serengeti morning drive, then the journey east and up onto the Ngorongoro crater rim, with panoramic highland views and wildlife sightings along the way.
A half-day safari on the floor of this UNESCO World Heritage caldera — black rhino, tusker elephants and flamingos — before the drive back to Arusha or the airport.
