First up, we will head to Southern Serengeti; an “African massage” awaits you as you take the sometimes-bumpy roads to the Serengeti. You will spend 4 nights in Southern Serengeti with early morning and late afternoon game drives to capture the magical wildlife filled plains. During the lush green season from December to April, this region serves as the habitat for vast migratory herds. Encompassing the renowned Serengeti plains, these fertile expanses are the residence of immense gatherings of wildebeest and zebra. The wildlife spectacle is extraordinary, with over two million animals dispersed across the expansive open plains. Besides the sizable migratory herds, predators like lions, cheetahs, and hyenas are plentiful, presenting the Serengeti in its most magnificent form! Ndutu Area Next up is the Ndutu area, which is outside of the national parks, hence off road permits are not required.  In order to maximize photo opportunities and time shooting, we will explore two different areas, the Western side and the Eastern Side.  We will be staying for three days in each to minimize travel time in the mornings and evenings, and allow us the maximum time shooting when animals are at their full rate of activity and take advantage of the best light. Day 7 – Day 9: Ndutu Area (Western Side) – Angata Camps As of April should say 2023 or 4… the Ndutu region is home to four prides, comprising a collective of 45 lions (excluding visiting groups and nomads). Among them, 49% are adults aged 4 years and older. The marshes of Ndutu serve as a sanctuary for wildlife and form the central habitat for the Big Marsh pride and Thin pride. Livestock is prohibited from entering this area, and the Big Marsh pride relies on wild prey for sustainance. They frequently face challenges in maintaining survival during the harsh and arid conditions of the lean season. Day 10 – Day 12: Ndutu Area (Eastern Side) – Lake Masek Tented lodge Rising prominently over the Matiti Plains is a notable Serengeti feature known as Twin Hills. The picturesque Matiti plains encircling Twin Hills serve as the habitat for extensive herds of wildebeest females during the green season together with the Matiti Pride and Masek pride. This vast plain is the primary location where wildebeests choose to calve between January and March. In contrast to many other antelopes that prefer sheltered spaces for giving birth, pregnant wildebeests congregate on the most open terrain accessible. Remarkably, newborn calves can stand within 10 minutes. Additionally, the Matiti plains are a particularly favorable area for observing cheetahs. Day 13: Ngorongoro transit – Tloma Lodge On this day you will be transferred Tloma Lodge for overnight and relaxation and packing ready for your outbound flight the next day. Arriving
