Tour Overview

Experience the incredible wildlife of Tanzania on a 6 Day Ndutu Game Drive Safari, combining the spectacular landscapes of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area with the extraordinary wildlife of the Ndutu region. This safari is especially exciting during the Great Migration, when thousands of wildebeest and zebras gather in the Ndutu plains and predators follow closely behind.

Your adventure begins in Arusha before continuing toward the Ngorongoro area. Explore the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater, famous for its high concentration of wildlife, before heading to Ndutu for unforgettable game drives through one of Tanzania’s most remarkable wildlife regions.

Ngorongoro Crater Wildlife Experience

The safari begins with an exploration of the Ngorongoro Crater, one of Tanzania’s most extraordinary wildlife destinations. Descend into the crater for a game drive across its grasslands, forests and wetlands, where you can search for elephants, lions, buffaloes, zebras, hippos and other wildlife.

The crater’s enclosed ecosystem creates excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing throughout the year.

Itinerary

Upon your arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha Airport, our dedicated driver will be eagerly awaiting you with a sign bearing your name, ready to extend a warm and heartfelt welcome. From there, you’ll transferred to your arranged hotel in Arusha town. Later, our experienced safari coordinators will provide a pre-safari briefing, offering an exciting preview of the wonders that await you. Relax and unwind in the serene environment of Springlands Hotel, featuring a swimming pool, a beautiful garden, a bar, and a restaurant.

Tulia Retreet Hotel & Spa

Starting early, you have a full day to explore the Ngorongoro Crater, an ancient volcanic crater that is home to an extraordinary concentration of wildlife including a very dense population of lions and spotted hyenas. You are almost guaranteed to see all of the ‘big five’ (lion, rhino, leopard, elephant,t and buffalo) as well as a great variety of other species; by now children will be very accomplished ‘wildlife spotters’.

The views are superb, from the first glimpse of the crater at ‘Heroes’ Point’, through the thick rain forest that covers its sides, down to the rich grassy plains that form its Centre. The combination of natural scenery and wildlife is truly breathtaking.

After breakfast, set off on an exciting full-day game drive exploring the Ndutu area, a remarkable part of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area that comes alive during this season as the Great Migration takes center stage. This region is a haven for thousands of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles, creating a dramatic scene as they graze and interact across the open plains. Along with the migration spectacle, keep your camera ready for thrilling predator action, as lions, cheetahs, hyenas, and even leopards are often seen hunting or lounging nearby. The landscape of Ndutu, with its mix of lush grasslands and acacia woodlands, offers both stunning vistas and incredible wildlife diversity. Your knowledgeable guide will share insights into animal behavior and the unique ecology of the region as you enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
