Arusha to Ndutu for Game Drive

Following breakfast, you will proceed with a 3 hours drive from Arusha to Ndutu Area , located in the Ngorongoro conservation area, which is part of the southern Serengeti eco-system. Although Lake Ndutu, like most other rift lakes, is alkaline, the water is still drinkable and is consumed by a variety of local wildlife.

In the afternoon, we will embark on a game drive in the Ndutu area. From December to April, the majority of the wildebeest migration can be found on the short-grass plains, making this area an excellent location for wildlife viewing. In addition to the wildebeest, the area is usually heavily populated with elephants, birds, and resident game.
