5-Day Luxury Ndutu Calving Safari from Zanzibar
"A private fly-in journey from Zanzibar through the Central Serengeti, Ndutu calving plains, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire, returning to Zanzibar on day five."
Planned in Arusha · Private safari · No obligation
A considered arc across northern Tanzania.
Trade the beach for the safari plains on a private, five-day fly-in adventure from Zanzibar. Begin with the wildlife of Central Serengeti, spend two nights in the seasonal Ndutu region, visit Ngorongoro Crater, and end among Tarangire’s elephants and baobabs. The timing is designed for the southern plains migration, but the exact location of the herds and calving sightings cannot be guaranteed.
