About this safari
This 3-day safari is designed to showcase the Ndutu plains during the Great Migration’s calving season (typically January to March). During these months, thousands of wildebeest give birth, attracting predators such as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas making it one of the most dramatic wildlife spectacles in Africa.
You’ll begin in Ndutu, where the calving season unfolds across the short-grass plains. On Day 2, enjoy a full day in Ndutu with an optional hot air balloon safari for breathtaking aerial views of the migration. Finally, on Day 3, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site often called the “Eighth Wonder of the World,” before returning to Arusha.
This itinerary blend the raw drama of the calving season with the timeless beauty of Ngorongoro, offering an unforgettable short safari.
