Questions About 4 Day Migration Safari

” The Ndutu region is situated in the northwest section of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, which spans more than 8,000 km² and encompasses notable features such as the Ngorongoro Crater, Olduvai Gorge, forests, mountains, and the expansive plains of Ndutu that extend freely into the southern Serengeti.

This Ndutu area, shared between Ngorongoro and the Serengeti, offers a prime location for witnessing the exceptional wildebeest migration and calving experiences.”

“To truly experience the Great Migration on a safari holiday without breaking the bank, aim for at least 3 day, 4 days to 5 days exploring Tanzania, focusing on the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater as the wildebeest move across the landscape.

This doesn’t include travel time between parks. Shorter trips might not be enough to fully appreciate the migration.”

“People often describe the Great Migration as a circular path, like a giant clock. Millions of wildebeest and Zebras move in a loop throughout the year, starting south Serengeti and heading north to Kenya’s Maasai Mara, before returning southern Serengeti again. This cycle typically happens between May and December.”

“A Tanzania 4-day Ndutu Migration Calving safari costs anywhere between USD$1,312 and USD$1,442 per person. This includes full board meals, private safari vehicle, drinking water, accommodations, unlimited Migration game drives etc.”
