Your safari begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel in Arusha. After a short briefing, depart in your 4x4 safari vehicle and travel through the scenic Great Rift Valley, passing Maasai villages and the beautiful Ngorongoro Highlands.

Stop for a picnic lunch en route before continuing into the southern Serengeti and Ndutu region, the heart of the calving season. The open plains support large herds of wildebeest and zebras, with excellent opportunities to observe newborn calves and predators in their natural environment.

Arrive at camp in the afternoon, settle in and enjoy dinner surrounded by the sights and sounds of the African wilderness.

Rise early for a full day exploring the Ndutu plains, one of the best locations to witness the wildebeest calving season. Between January and March, thousands of calves may be born each day, attracting predators such as lions, cheetahs and hyenas.

Enjoy morning and afternoon game drives with your expert guide, maximising your chances of seeing the large migration herds, newborn calves and resident wildlife. Stop for a picnic lunch in the wilderness before continuing your exploration.

Return to camp in the evening for dinner and relaxation beneath the stars.

After an early breakfast, depart for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Descend approximately 600 metres into the Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive through one of Africa’s most remarkable wildlife areas.

The crater floor supports an exceptional concentration of wildlife, including lions, elephants, buffaloes, hippos and, with luck, the endangered black rhino. Enjoy a picnic lunch near the hippo pool, surrounded by the crater’s spectacular scenery.

In the afternoon, ascend the crater walls and continue to Arusha, where your safari concludes with a drop-off at your hotel or preferred location.
