Day 1. Arusha to Ndutu Area
Your adventure kicks off with an early morning pickup from your Arusha hotel. After a short briefing with your guide, set off in your 4×4 safari vehicle toward the southern Serengeti–Ndutu region. The drive takes you through the stunning Great Rift Valley, past traditional Maasai villages and sweeping highlands. En route, you’ll stop for a picnic lunch before continuing to the vast plains where the great wildebeest calving season unfolds. The area bursts with life — predators on the hunt, and thousands of wildebeests caring for their newborns. As the sun sets, arrive at your cozy lodge or tented camp, unwind with dinner, and fall asleep to the wild sounds of the African night, marking a perfect end to your first safari day.

Day 2. Full Day in Ndutu Area
Rise early for a full day exploring the Ndutu plains, one of the best locations to witness the wildebeest calving season. With thousands of calves born daily between January and March, predators such as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas are never far behind, creating dramatic wildlife encounters. Your guide will take you on morning and afternoon game drives, maximizing your chances of seeing both large herds and elusive predators. A picnic lunch will be enjoyed in the bush before continuing your exploration across the open plains. As the sun sets, return to your camp or lodge for dinner and relaxation under the starry African sky.

Savor a picnic lunch near the hippo pool while taking in the serene views. Later, ascend the crater walls and enjoy the scenic drive back to Arusha, where your remarkable safari adventure comes to an end with a drop-off at your hotel or preferred location.
