Day 02: Arusha / Ngorongoro Highlands.
After breakfast, drive to Ngorongoro Ndutu. Ndutu migration safari is an experience that involves visiting the Ndutu area, where the herds of wildebeest can be seen.
During the wildebeest migration in Tanzania, the wildebeest herds can be seen around the Ndutu area from December to early March. From December to March, the wildebeest calving season takes place.
It is also favorable for seeing other resident wildlife species around the Ndutu area, such as the big cats like lion, leopard, cheetahs, civets, and caracals, among others.
The calving season during the wildebeest migration is a time when about 8000 wildebeest calves are born daily in the grassy plains.
Dinner and overnight at Ndutu Safari Lodge, or similar – D, B, L
Day 03 to 5: Ngorongoro Highlands - Ndutu
Full day game viewing in the Ndutu area.
The Ndutu area is a migration route for the wildebeests, which follow the rains, and another factor for the wildebeest moving to the Ndutu area is the green grass. The movement of the wildebeest is, however, unpredictable. Over 2 million wildebeest herds can be seen during the migration, which takes place annually. The wildebeest migration is among the natural wonders that can be seen during your safari with Tanzania Travel Company.

Day 06: Ngorongoro Crater Tour
After breakfast at the Lodge, one descends the Ngorongoro Crater floor, which is about 2000 feet deep and 14 miles wide. The crater hosts a remarkable wildlife spectacle. There is savanna, bushland, forests, and lakes, inhabited by the same range of game, from Elephant to Lion to Wildebeest; there is even a soda lake for the Flamingos. We will spend the day exploring the Ngorongoro Crater, which is a World Heritage Site, home to nearly 25,000 animals, giving you a very real chance of spotting the Big Five: lion, elephant, endangered black rhino, buffalo, and leopard, plus countless other African mammal species. Witness the magnificent array of habitats, each with its own unique wildlife and flora. Take time out to stretch your legs and enjoy a picnic lunch at Ngoitokitok Springs, watching the hippos jostle for position in the water. Continue with the game till evening, ascend, and drive to your lodge for the night.
