Safari Overview

This 5-Day Great Serengeti Migration (Western Corridor) Safari package has been mapped out specifically to increase your chance to see the great Serengeti Wildebeest Migration in ndutu area. The area is filled with boundless grasslands. The area is part of the migratory cycle as the mass of herbivores graze and calves in the area between November and March, depending on the rains. The area is also a home to the big cats through the year but the best time to spot them is the calving time as the viscous predators prey on the vulnerable cubs. The calves have an extraordinary ability as they can stand on their feet just 2- 3 minutes after birth and they can join the herd in just about 5 minutes. Apart from its dazzling landscape and a good number of resident animals the greatest attraction in the area is the full circle of the great migration , from the return of the animals to graze the area in December, followed by calving in January and February and finally the departure in April as they head north in search of better pastures.
