OVERVIEW

As the seasons change and the wildebeest come and go, so the location of Ndutu Tented Camp moves to always be in the best possible position for prime game viewing. Setting up in different spots of the Ndutu area, which is close to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Southern Serengeti, its definitive highlight is when the Wildebeest Migration passes through from December to March. Predator action ramps up in February when the big cats take advantage of newborn calves.

The Lemala Cubs club will entertain and educate children while over-16s can float off in a hot-air balloon to appreciate the sheer scale of the Migration from the air. Back on terra firma, full-day game drives with bush lunches are a must.
