4 Days Ndutu Migration Safari
4 Days Ndutu Migration Safari
Overview
Every year, vast herds of wildebeest undertake a long-distance migration aligned with rainfall patterns and grass growth. After the short rainy season in November, the herds arrive on the nutrient-rich short-grass plains of the Serengeti. These plains stretch east and south of Seronera, encompassing the Ndutu area and northern Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Wildebeest and zebra roam these plains, feeding on the nutrient-rich grasses. By February, most wildebeest give birth to their calves. The herds remain in the area until April before migrating west toward the Western Corridor of Serengeti National Park. to start your 4 Days Ndutu Migration Safari
