Watch newborn calves take their first steps and see how predators and prey interact in real time.

This isn’t just a safari, it’s a chance to witness Tanzania’s wildlife at its most powerful and moving.

Day by day

Day 1: Arusha to Ndutu

Your adventure kicks off in Arusha, the vibrant safari capital of northern Tanzania. After breakfast, you’ll head towards Ndutu, located within the expansive Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The drive offers a scenic transition from urban life to wild Africa, rolling hills, open plains, and scattered Maasai homesteads.

After checking into Sero Tented Camp, take your first game drive through the Ndutu plains. This area comes alive during the calving season, as thousands of wildebeests and zebras give birth in the safety of the short grass plains, attracting predators like lions, hyenas, and cheetahs.

Rise to the sounds of nature and prepare for a thrilling day of wildlife viewing. The Ndutu region is the stage for one of nature’s most moving scenes: new life. As wildebeests deliver their young, opportunistic predators lurk nearby, making for dramatic and unforgettable sightings.

Your expert Kiwoito guide will help you track wildlife and share the fascinating ecology behind the calving season. Enjoy a bush picnic surrounded by the plains, and keep your camera ready for giraffes, elephants, jackals, and over 400 species of birds.

On your final day in Ndutu, revisit your favorite spots or choose a guided walking safari for a different perspective of the ecosystem. Learn how to track animals, identify footprints, and explore the smaller wonders of the bush—like insects, birds, and medicinal plants.

This day is perfect for photography, as golden light bathes the landscapes and animals dot the plains. Wind down with a locally-inspired dinner and gaze at the stars, Ndutu has some of the clearest skies in Tanzania.
