4-Day Ndutu Calving Season

Joagro Safaris Tanzania representative will meet you at the Airport and drive to your Hotel in Karatu, the second Safari hub after Arusha ready for the next day safari experience in Tanzania. On this day, you will be packed with safari briefs on the general safari plan, accommodations and confirmation of the exactly time you will be picked up to start in the next day.

After breakfast, depart for Ndutu Calving area in the southern Serengeti with packed lunch, via the beautiful high lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, we descend into the heart of wild Africa-Ndutu which forms part of the annual migratory route of hundreds of thousands of wildebeest, zebra, antelope and their predators who come to graze and calve between November and March, depending on the rains. These newborns attract the presence of the big cats-leopard, lion, cheetah, caracal, serval and wildcat. Game drive in the area will take us to alter evening where we will be heading for dinner and overnight ready for the next day.

After breakfast, we will head out for a game drive with packed lunch ready to see the great show of calving animals with a company of predators targeting to feed on the newborns. In the evening, we will drive to Ngorongoro crater rim for dinner and overnight ready for a game drive down the crater in the next day.

After an early breakfast at the lodge, you will drive to Ngorongoro Crater in the morning descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife. Supported by a year round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro conservation Area supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park, it’s dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. We will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater. A large number of flamingos, hippos and other water birds can usually be seen here. Drive to Arusha where to tour ends.
