Ndutu Southern Serengeti
OVERVIEW
Explore Ndutu, a wonderful place known for its abundant animals and breathtaking vistas, deep within the Southern Serengeti. Due to its significance in the Great Migration—a time when enormous herds of zebras and wildebeest congregate during the calving season—Ndutu is especially well-known. With lions, cheetahs, and hyenas following the herds and producing exciting wildlife encounters, this area provides an unmatched chance to see the circle of life in action. Ndutu offers a genuinely immersive safari experience that embodies the spirit of Africa’s natural wildness with its scenic acacia trees and expansive grasslands.
NDUTU, SOUTHERN SERENGETI
Ndutu, a popular site for wildlife enthusiasts, is situated at the confluence of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the Serengeti National Park. Birdwatchers will find the region’s seasonal alkaline lakes, Ndutu and Masek, to be a haven as they attract a wide variety of wildlife, including raptors and flamingos.
Ndutu becomes the center of attention for the Great Migration from December to March, which is the calving season. More than half a million wildebeest calves are born, giving predators something to eat and entertaining onlookers. Observing the unadulterated dynamics of predator-prey interactions and the innate survival instincts of juvenile animals during this time is a rare opportunity.
The combination of open plains and forests that make up Ndutu’s topography provides a range of habitats for different animals. More private wildlife watching opportunities are made possible by the area’s comparatively low tourist density when compared to other Serengeti regions.
In one of Africa’s most famous wildlife areas, Ndutu in the Southern Serengeti offers an incredible experience, whether you’re captivated by the quiet beauty of the surroundings or the dramatic spectacle of the Great Migration.
