3 DAYS LUXURY TANZANIA SAFARI

Focused on the heart of the Southern Serengeti’s Ndutu region during the spectacular calving season, this luxury fly-in safari offers an intimate and high-impact wildlife experience in just three days. From January to March, the Ndutu plains transform into a birthing ground for over half a million wildebeest calves, creating a raw, emotional spectacle of life, survival, and predation. Flying directly into the wilderness from Kilimanjaro, you avoid long drives and dive straight into the action. With the rare privilege of off-road game drives and expert-guided exploration, you’ll witness predator-prey interactions up close—perfect for photographers and wildlife lovers. Your stay at the elegant Lake Masek Tented Lodge ensures world-class comfort in the middle of nature, with lake views, fine dining, and authentic bush luxury. This short yet powerful safari blends immersion and indulgence, concluding with a flight to Arusha and onward to the white-sand beaches of Zanzibar.

Day 1
Arrival from Kilimanjaro Airport – Fly to Southern Serengeti (Ndutu Area)
Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be warmly welcomed by a representative from Gardenia African Safaris. After a short transfer to Arusha Airport, you’ll board a scenic flight to the Ndutu Airstrip, soaring over the Maasai Steppe and Ngorongoro highlands. On arrival, your private safari guide greets you with refreshments and starts your first game drive through the Ndutu plains. The area is alive with wildebeest herds and newborn calves, closely followed by predators like lions and cheetahs. As the sun dips over the golden savannah, arrive at the elegant Lake Masek Tented Lodge, your luxury home in the bush. Settle into your spacious canvas suite with lake views, enjoy sundowners by the fire, and dine under the stars with gourmet cuisine. This is the beginning of your exclusive calving-season journey.

Day 2
Full-Day Game Drive – Ndutu Calving Season Experience
After a freshly brewed coffee, set out early for a full-day safari across the Ndutu plains, where the wildebeest calving season is in full swing. This is one of nature’s most spectacular events—thousands of wildebeest calves are born each day, creating a magnet for predators. Your expert guide will take you off-road (a rare privilege in Tanzanian parks) to position you near active scenes—whether a mother giving birth, a lioness on the hunt, or cheetahs surveying the plains. The open landscape offers excellent visibility and photography opportunities. Enjoy a bush picnic lunch beneath the acacia trees while listening to distant calls of wildlife. Return to the lodge in the afternoon for rest, storytelling by the fire, or a massage (optional). The drama of life and survival unfolds around you, just as it has for thousands of years.

Morning Game Drive – Fly to Arusha – Transfer to Zanzibar

Wake up to the tranquil sounds of nature and savor a final morning game drive through the Ndutu woodlands and grasslands. This is your chance to catch early morning predator activity and soak in the last views of the migration herds. After breakfast back at the lodge and a relaxed checkout, you'll be transferred to Ndutu Airstrip for your flight to Arusha Airport. Your Gardenia African Safaris team will assist with smooth airport transfers and connections. From Arusha, board your flight to Zanzibar, where white-sand beaches and Indian Ocean breezes await. Though short, this luxury migration safari delivers unforgettable memories of nature's most dramatic event—witnessed in style and comfort.
