Explore the captivating region of Ndutu, an 88 square km (40 square mile) expanse nestled within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority (NCAA).


The Ndutu Region – Where the Great Migration Begins

Why Visit Ndutu? Ndutu is a vital component to the Great Migration of wildebeest in the Serengeti ecosystem. It is where life and the yearly migratory cycle commences. Around December, the migration heads toward this region. You will see bands of wildebeest, zebra and antelope as far as the eye at this time heading south to Ndutu. The migration follows the rains and animals migrate to this region for the rich short fertile grasses. This is all timed perfectly with calving season which peaks from late January to early March. Watching a calving from start to finish is fast, furious and incredible. Seeing these little ones quickly learn to walk and start the lifelong voyage of the migration within minutes of birth is truly a sight to see.

Often hailed as the Southern Serengeti, Ndutu forms the southern frontier of the Serengeti ecosystem. Positioned in the northwestern reaches of the NCAA, it shares borders with the Serengeti National Park, creating a seamless wildlife haven. Ndutu unfolds with diverse habitats, promising an enchanting experience where each day brings fresh wonders. Revel in the uniqueness of this area during your visit with Off the Beaten Path Safaris—a passionate embrace of Ndutu’s undiscovered allure within the Serengeti ecosystem.
