Description
Witness wildebeest calving in Ndutu on private 4x4 game drives, with a safari guide, tented-camp stay, full-board meals, and airport transfers.
Follow the wildebeest herds to Tanzania's Ndutu area during calving season, when the plains fill with newborn calves and seasonal wildlife activity. Travel in a private 4x4 safari Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof and explore with an English-speaking safari guide.
Begin with an airport transfer to Arusha, where you will settle in at Kibo Palace Hotel Arusha and enjoy dinner. After breakfast, continue to Ndutu for your first game drive before arriving at Nyuki Migration Camp for dinner and an overnight stay.
Spend two full days on game drives through the Ndutu landscape. Watch for wildebeest herds and calves, follow wildlife activity along designated tracks, and pause for picnic lunches in the bush. You can also choose to add a hot air balloon safari at an extra cost.
