5-Day Ndutu Calving Season Safari
This 5-day Tanzania safari follows a defined route through Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Zanzibar and Southern Serengeti (ndutu Area). The sequence of parks and areas gives the itinerary its character, while the day-by-day plan sets the pace for drives, stops and overnight stays.
The wildlife section is timed around the named migration area in the itinerary. Game drives are arranged to follow the route and current wildlife movement rather than treating every day as the same drive.
Flights connect the safari circuit with Zanzibar, so the arrival and departure points are part of the schedule. Road transfers cover the mainland sections, with the itinerary showing where each change of transport occurs.
Overnight stays use the lodge or camp level shown in the package details, with the exact properties confirmed in the accommodation section. Group size, meal arrangements and included services should be reviewed together because they affect the practical cost of the route. Listed inclusions include All Park entrances & taxes, All Meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner),, soft drinks & water (bottled water 3litres or more a day).
