A closer connection

The story of this place

The Ndutu Region lies across the southern Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, making it an important part of the wider migration ecosystem. Resident wildlife such as elephants, giraffes, hyenas and big cats can be found throughout the year. From around December to March, depending on rainfall and grazing conditions, large herds of wildebeest and zebra gather on the short-grass plains for the calving season. This period can provide excellent opportunities to observe newborn calves and the predators that follow the herds. Ndutu is especially rewarding for photographers and travellers interested in the seasonal movements of the Great Migration.

Your questions, answered

Planning your visit

Is Ndutu only worth visiting during migration season?

The source guide describes resident elephants, giraffes, hyenas and big cats throughout the year. The seasonal herds add a different focus when present.

Can calving sightings be guaranteed?

No. Seasonal patterns help planning, but rainfall, grazing and the movements of wild herds determine what can be seen.
