The Ndutu area is full of wonders, just seated within the Ngorongoro Conservation Reserve south of the unfenced Serengeti National Park, with a variety of wild species such as lions, rhinos, elephants, primates, giraffes, cheetahs, to mention but a few. It’s the only locality in Tanzania where you can drive off-road freely without being stopped by security personnel, so it’s the pearl of all freedom you need. Travel time to Ndutu is also so comfortable with road and air transport commonly used depending on what the guest booked since there is luxury, midrange, and humble budget. Travel times include:
Ngorongoro Crater – Ndutu: 1-hour drive
Central Serengeti – Ndutu: 3-hour drive
Lake Manyara – Ndutu: 3-hour drive
Curiosity invades beauty; that’s why March and December are always the famous months for curious field explorers, especially those who dig into the fertile land of Ndutu. Ndutu hosts the wildebeest accompanied by gazelles and zebras who come during the essential session of giving birth to calves to provide a convenient environment for their young ones as they need to feed on nutritious meals to survive. The best spot always recommended for every tourist is the Ndutu Lake, where most of the animals gather for different purposes. The Ndutu Lake is also known for holding a legacy as an archaeological excavation site, which led to the discovery of the Ndutu cranium and remains of tools from over 500,000 years ago. I told you that this area is full of wonders, where it not only attracts tourists for wildebeest migration but also offers tourist attractions such as:
Olduvai Gorge Olduvia Gorge, referred to as the place of the wild sisal by the local people, is one of the world’s places you would not like to miss due to the historical invasions it holds. Remember, a good name is better than riches, which is why it attracts visitors from different countries. It is in the ravine of the Rift Valley, 25 km away from the Ndutu area, so double your adventure by visiting the place where human evolution rotates.
Ngorongoro Conservation Area The Ngorongoro Conservation Area houses a lot of wild species and offers enjoyable activities such as game drives, hot air balloon safaris, horse riding, and nature walks, to mention but a few.
Rest is so essential, which is why accommodations are always recommended. Some of these include Ndutu Safari Lodge, Sanctuary Kusini, Lake Ndutu Luxury Tented Lodge, to mention but a few.
Je vous en prie.
