Serengeti means “endless plains” in the language of the Maasai and you will see the grassland savannah stretching to the horizon.

Day 10 & 11: Southern Serengeti NdutuDepart this morning after breakfast to southern Serengeti with a game drive en route to Ndutu Lake Masek Luxury Tented Camp; Witness the early morning mist rise on the banks of Lake Masek. Besides, this area is the principle setting of the Great Migration which takes place from December to March and the Big Five visit the area. The camp is set-up every year in a different part of the area, to make sure that you will always have the best place to see this impressive spectacle from your own tent. During the short rains each year, some 2 million wildebeest trek from Kenya’s Maasai Mara to the southern Serengeti, then back again, in search of new grass. The wildebeest migrate with hundreds of thousands of zebra, whose superior vision and hearing serve as an early-warning system for predators. Gazelle and other antelope accompany the great herds as well. We are in the region during the time when zebra and wildebeest are giving birth, and the herds are mostly stationary. The majority of baby wildebeest are born during a single three-week window, after most zebra young have emerged. We'll hope to see infants (though timing on the calf drop is weather-dependent), as well as prey interactions. Predators seek out the most vulnerable members of the herds, and we may see a lion seize a sick wildebeest or a cheetah overtaking a newborn that has become separated from its mother. Leopard, hyena and jackal also prey on the migrating herds while vultures hang in the air, waiting to feast on carrion. While the spectacle is at times grim, its primal drama is a wonder to behold.

The crater is the home of the largest African mammals. Here is one of the few remaining places where it is possible to encounter the highly endangered black Rhino. It is also possible to see elephants (mostly lone or “bachelor” bulls), pride of lions, hippos, a resident herd of wildebeest, zebra, various gazelles, and buffalo. We will have lunch at the water’s edge, and then we’ll ascend back to the crater rim seeing more game along the way. Our day ends with a soothing shower, dinner, and relaxing.
