4 Days Southern Serengeti & Ndutu Safari (2026 / 2027 / 2028)

Discover the magic of East Africa with our exclusive 4 Days Southern Serengeti & Ndutu Safari, crafted for discerning travelers eager to witness the heart of the Great Migration and immerse themselves in varied ecosystems. In this Southern Serengeti safari, you’ll explore Ndutu’s famed calving grounds, traverse the southern plains, and descend into the legendary Ngorongoro Crater — a “Garden of Eden” bustling with wildlife. Whether you’re traveling in 2026, 2027, or 2028, this itinerary is designed around optimal seasons for wildlife viewing, especially during the calving and predator activity periods.

Our route complements our longer safaris—such as the 7-Day Northern Circuit Safari or the Tanzania Luxury Safari & Zanzibar—allowing clients to seamlessly extend their stay. We also link out to credible sources for conservation and park info, such as the Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority (NCAA) site (learn more here).
What makes our 4-day Ndutu safari unique? We operate with small groups, luxury lodges positioned deep in wildlife zones, flexible full-day game drives, and optional extras like guided walks (where permitted). This safari balances intense wildlife action and high comfort, making it ideal for both animal lovers and travelers wanting a shorter, high-impact Tanzanian experience.

Itinerary: Day by Day

Day 1: Arusha → Ngorongoro Crater Rim → Southern Serengeti / Ndutu area
Begin your journey from Arusha with a scenic drive crossing the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. You’ll stop at the Crater rim for panoramic views and possibly a short crater floor drive (time permitting). After a picnic lunch, continue south into the Ndutu region, arriving in time for an afternoon game drive in the short-grass plains. Expect to spot lion, zebra, wildebeest, and elephant. At dusk, return to your luxury lodge near Ndutu for dinner, sundowners, and overnight under canvas.

Day 2: Full Day in Ndutu & Southern Plains
Wake early for a dawn game drive into Ndutu’s calving grounds (seasonal), watching thousands of wildebeest and zebra giving birth, and predator activity in close quarters. Return to camp for brunch and rest. After mid-day downtime, head out again for an afternoon drive across surrounding plains and marshes—ideal for birdlife, hyenas, cheetahs, and rarely seen species. Enjoy a bush sundowner and a gourmet dinner back at the lodge.

Day 3: Southern Serengeti to Ngorongoro Highlands / Crater Edge
Enjoy an early drive moving northwards from Ndutu into southern Serengeti’s quieter zones, crossing Masek or Kusini plains. This day is about transition: game viewing en route, possibly stopping at Oldupai Gorge if time allows. Late afternoon you reach the rim of Ngorongoro Crater, where you’ll stay near the crater edge. Evening sunset views over the crater and highland landscapes accompany your lodge dinner.

Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive & Departure
Descend early into the floor of Ngorongoro Crater for a full-day game drive in this iconic caldera. See dense populations of buffalo, elephant, lion, hippo, and if lucky, rhino. Enjoy picnic lunch by hippo pools, then ascend in mid-afternoon. From the crater rim, drive back to Arusha or onward to Kilimanjaro with arrival by late afternoon, marking the end of your 4-day Southern Serengeti & Ndutu safari.
