DAY-1

ARUSHA TO SOUTHERN SERENGETI (NDUTU)

In the morning, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Arusha and begin our journey toward the Ndutu region, a drive of approximately 5.5 hours covering 260 kilometers.

If you visit between December and April, you'll witness the plains come alive as calving grounds, attracting predators eager to hunt the vulnerable young. Ndutu Lake and Lake Masek serve as vital water sources, drawing abundant wildlife. The region boasts six species of big cats lions, leopards, cheetahs, caracals, servals, and wildcats offering unparalleled wildlife viewing opportunities.
