After breakfast, you will drive to the Ndutu Plains in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. At this time of year, the famous Serengeti wildebeest migration is concentrated in this area. The southeastern portion of Serengeti is teeming with wildlife year round, but the peak in terms of wildlife density is between December and April. Giant herds of wildebeest and zebra are attracted by the seasonal rains pouring down. In this period the best area to see wildlife is around Lake Ndutu, in the heart of the wildebeest gathering. This is where female wildebeest give birth to countless calves and therefore makes up one of the highlight of the Great Migration. All these young herbivores serve as a magnet to predators with the result of southeastern Serengeti becoming the dramatic scene of new life, and death. The vachellia woodlands surrounding the lakes provide shelter to a range of birds not to be found elsewhere in the Serengeti. Stay alert and you may spot a fantastically coloured Fischer’s lovebird. With all the action concentrating in this area it is important to point out that the phenomenon attracts, besides predators, a lot of visitors, resulting in high vehicle traffic. After all the action has moved to greener pastures, the area experiences a much quieter season. The southeastern plains and Ndutu become a tranquil place where other visitors are scarce but wildlife remains abundant. This is an excellent time to visit and stay here. Between April and November the southeastern plains dry out, turning the landscape into a thinly vegetated area. Two lakes support scores of wildlife: the perennial Masek Lake in the Ngorongoro Crater Area and the seasonal Ndutu Lake. Lunch at the picnic site.
