Day 3 - Ndutu South Serengeti

After breakfast, you set off toward the Ndutu region. The journey takes around three hours, and along the way you’ll see the landscape gradually change from wooded hills to wide, open plains. Upon arrival, you head out for game drives in Ndutu, an area known for excellent wildlife viewing and the chance to encounter the Great Migration (June–October). During this period, the plains become a key calving area for wildebeest and other grazers, drawing predators such as lions and cheetahs.
