Detailed Day-by-Day Itinerary
Day 1: Arusha → Ndutu / Southern Serengeti
Travel towards the Ndutu area, passing through the beautiful landscapes of the Great Rift Valley and Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
Meals: Lunch & Dinner
This is one of the most exciting times of year for wildlife viewing. Thousands of wildebeest give birth during the calving season, creating an extraordinary concentration of life across the grasslands.
As the herds move and calves are born, predators are never far away. Search for lions, cheetahs, hyenas and other predators following the migration.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
After breakfast, explore different areas of Ndutu according to current herd movements.
Your guide will search for large concentrations of wildebeest and zebra while also looking for dramatic predator activity. The open plains provide excellent opportunities for wildlife photography.
You may encounter elephants, giraffes, ostriches, gazelles and many resident species alongside the migrating herds.
Enjoy a picnic lunch before continuing your afternoon exploration.
Return to camp for dinner and an evening around the campfire.

Best Time To Visit
For this safari, I recommend using premium properties close to Ndutu, rather than staying too far away. Options can include luxury permanent lodges or high-end seasonal mobile camps, depending on the migration period and availability. For your DMA Horizon luxury positioning, location is especially important—being close to the herds can make the experience much better
