5-Day Calving Season - Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire

The adventure begins! After breakfast, your private guide will pick you up from the airport or your accommodation and set off towards Ndutu in the southern Serengeti. Enjoy a scenic 5- to 6-hour drive through Tanzania’s changing landscapes, with a memorable lunch stop overlooking the spectacular Ngorongoro Highlands.

Arriving in Ndutu, you’ll head straight into the wilderness for your first game drive, exploring the plains where the Great Migration gathers during calving season. As the sun sets, continue to your accommodation for a delicious dinner and a relaxing evening surrounded by the peaceful Serengeti wilderness.

Enjoy your first full day exploring the beautiful green plains of Ndutu, where the great migration gathers during calving season. With the flexibility of your private safari, choose between a hot packed picnic lunch in the wilderness or returning to your accommodation for a relaxed meal before heading out again. Spend the afternoon following the wildlife until sunset, then return to camp for a delicious dinner surrounded by the sounds of the Serengeti.

Another full day of unforgettable game viewing awaits in Ndutu! Continue exploring the lush green plains in search of newborn wildebeest, zebras, and other young animals, with the shores of Lake Ndutu offering a great place to spot wildlife gathering for a drink.

In the afternoon, you have two options: return to your accommodation in Ndutu for another relaxing night, or enjoy a scenic transfer game drive towards the Ngorongoro Crater rim. Staying on the rim allows you to wake up to spectacular crater views and enjoy an early descent the following morning.

It’s time to leave the Serengeti plains behind and head towards the Ngorongoro Crater. After breakfast, or with a packed breakfast for an earlier start, enjoy a scenic 2-hour transfer from Ndutu to the crater. As you descend, take in the spectacular views before exploring the crater floor on a game drive. With its incredible concentration of wildlife, you may be lucky enough to spot the rare black rhino and complete your Big Five!

Enjoy a picnic lunch surrounded by the crater’s breathtaking scenery before continuing to Karatu, where you’ll spend your final night of the safari.

After breakfast, gather your bags and enjoy one final drive through Tanzania’s beautiful landscapes as you head to Tarangire National Park, around 90 minutes away. Famous for its impressive baobab trees and large elephant herds, Tarangire offers a wonderful final game drive filled with wildlife and stunning scenery. After exploring the park, continue to Arusha, marking the end of your safari adventure.
