Overview
This itinerary combines the southern Serengeti's Ndutu plains with the wider park, giving strong photographic opportunities across two connected areas rather than committing to just one location for the entire trip.
Depending on the season, this route can capture calving season's newborn wildlife and predator activity in Ndutu, alongside the Serengeti's broader resident wildlife and, timing permitting, migration movement further north. Game drives are structured around photography specifically, with time built in to wait at promising locations rather than rushing past them.
See our Ndutu guide for seasonal timing, or contact us to plan this itinerary around current wildlife positioning.

Day by Day (5 days)
Meet at Nairobi airport for our flight to Kilimanjaro Airport Tanzania. From Kilimanjaro / Arusha airport we fly directly into Ndutu where we will spend 5 nights
An early morning wake-up for an early departure to explore the plains and all that Ndutu has to offer. We especially target Cheetah on the short grass plains as well as Wildebeest calving, Lions, and more. A packed breakfast will be served, as well as lunch should we choose to stay out the whole day.
After the morning drive, we head back to camp for breakfast. We check out and depart for Serengeti by road arriving mid-afternoon. After lunch, we depart on our afternoon drive arriving back around sunset. We spend the next 4 nights here.
We have 3 full days in the Serengeti chasing the migration and Wildebeest calving season, and all the many amazing sightings the areas have to offer from Lions and leopards on kopjes and resting in trees to elephants, buffalo, rhino, and much more.
After a morning drive we leave for the local airstrip (SER) for our flight back to Arusha / Kilimanjaro Airport. End of our safari.
