6 Days Great Migration Luxury Safari – Ndutu Calving Season

Code: EMT-6MLuxury
6 DAYS - 5 NIGHTS

Description

6 Days Great Migration Luxury Safari—Explore the great wildebeest migration during the calving season with Ernest Magic Tours. Estimates are that 1000 wildebeest are born a day! While lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, and wild dogs certainly eat their fill of these gangly baby gnus, the synchronized calving is an effective survival mechanism for the species, but there is simply too much food for the predators to consume. This Tanzanian safari will be unforgettable.

This best Tanzania safari can start in JRO or Arusha.

Trip Type: All of our safaris in Tanzania are private, ensuring that you will get the most out of your experience in Tanzania.

Best time to visit: late December to early March

If you have more time, consider pairing these Tanzania safari tours with an exhilarating climbing Kilimanjaro tour or a leisurely beach holiday in Zanzibar!

Meals
Lunch and Dinner
Accommodation
Grand Melia Lodge 

Day 2: Arusha – Tarangire National Park

We will pick you up from your hotel in Arusha at 8:00am and take you to a very special safari park in Tanzania. Tarangire is famous for its diverse landscape with nine different vegetation zones. The Tarangire safari park is particularly known for the abundance of ancient baobab trees (the largest trees on the continent), which fill the landscape and dwarf the animals next to them. The river in the park is full of wildlife ranging from a large variety of birds to lions, leopards, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, antelopes, and, of course, African elephants. In fact, Tarangire has the largest concentration of elephants in the whole country and provides unique chances to observe the interaction between elephant families. In the afternoon we will still do a game drive before continuing to your accommodation.

Lake Manyara Kilimamoja

Day 3: Tarangire National Park – Ndutu Area

Today we drive to Southern Serengeti (Ndutu area, where the migration should partly be) in Ngorongoro (it takes 3 hours) and enjoy the wildlife. The endless plains of Serengeti are also the setting for the world’s greatest wildlife spectacle—the 1.5 million wildebeest endless migration in search for fresh pastures. Each year this huge herd of wildebeest (along with over 200,000 zebra and gazelle) migrates in a clockwise direction around the Serengeti, up to the Masai Mara in Kenya, and then back down to the Serengeti to have their young (over 1,000 wildebeest are born a day between late December and mid-March). Each year they migrate over 2,500 km and are constantly threatened and followed by some of Africa’s greatest predators. Depending on the season of your visit, your driver-guide will be able to share with you where the herd’s current location is at Ndutu.

Meals
Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Accommodation
Lake Maseki Tented Camp

Day 4: Ndutu Area – Serengeti National Park

Today you will have the half-day game drive in Ndutu, and then later on in the day you will proceed to Serengeti National Park, the world’s last great wildlife refuge, as it contains an estimated three million large animals, most of which take part in a seasonal migration that is one of nature’s wonders. The area covers 14,763 sq km, and the name ‘Serengeti’ comes from the Maasai ‘Siringet,’ meaning ‘endless plains.’

Meals
Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Accommodation
Melia Serengeti Lodge

Day 5: Serengeti National Park – Ngorongoro Crater

On this day we suggest a very early wake-up in order to do an early morning game drive (when the animals are more active) and see one of the best sunrises you’ll ever witness. It’s really one of the most beautiful experiences to have. After the game drive, we return to the camp for a rewarding brunch, and then we’ll proceed to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, the 8th wonder of the natural world. The crater spreads for 102 sq. miles and has 2,000 ft high walls, making it virtually a Noah’s ark and inhabiting almost every species of wildlife that is indigenous to East Africa. It’s one of the very rare locations on the whole continent where you can witness the black rhino. The concentration of African wildlife is the greatest on the continent. The crater has a river, several swamps, a soda lake with a great concentration of flamingos, a forest, and open plains. It’s also famous for its elephants, which are the largest in the world and have huge tusks. This is due to the rich mineral content of the volcanic soil and its grasses. Ngorongoro Crater is truly a wonder of the natural world.

You will reach Ngorongoro in time for a sundowner.

Meals
Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Accommodation
Ngorongoro Serena Lodge

Day 6: Ngorongoro Crater – Arusha

After breakfast, we descend back into the crater for an early morning game drive, hoping the cool morning air allows for us to see some active wildlife. As the temperatures rise, we may head to the hippo pool to see these spectacular creatures enjoying a dip to beat the heat. As lunch approaches, we make our way to the picnic site on the lake, taking in the spectacular views and having a bite to eat before you head out on the final game drive. After our last glimpse of the park, we head towards the crater rim to make the journey back to Arusha for the evening.
