Moshi to Southern Serengeti National Park (Ndutu Area)
Your migration safari begins early as you depart from your hotel in Moshi, heading to the Ndutu region on a 5.5-hour drive covering 260 km. Along the way, you’ll enter the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where the scenery shifts from hilly forests to lush grasslands. Upon arrival in Ndutu, embark on a half-day game drive, pausing for a picnic lunch. The sweeping grasslands merge into the Serengeti, forming part of the migration route for over 2 million wildebeests and countless zebras, antelopes, and gazelles. During the prime season (December, January, February to March), witness the plains transform into calving grounds, attracting predators seeking vulnerable young wildebeests. Ndutu Lake and Lake Masek also draw wildlife during the dry season. Your action-filled game drive concludes around 5 PM, followed by dinner and a well-deserved rest at your chosen accommodation.
