Tanzania is the untamed half of east Africa, the raw safari experience that first drew explorers from around the world, home to endless savannah, volcanic mountains, the Great Migration and the towering walls of the Ngorongoro Crater. With the country’s vast, open spaces, Tanzania safaris offer a pure, undiluted wildlife experience. The Serengeti is perhaps best known as the home of the Great Migration. Moving between Kenya and Tanzania, for the bulk of the year the mega-herd finds itself on the Tanzanian side. The wildebeest calve in the lush summer months as the herd loiters in the southern Serengeti. Tanzania is also home to the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater. Once a volcano that towered higher than mighty Mount Kilimanjaro, all that remains today is a perfectly preserved caldera sheltered between the high rock walls that once formed the slopes of the volcano. Undoubtedly the Serengeti and Ngorongoro are the world’s most celebrated wilderness areas and are a perpetual source of inspiration to writers, filmmakers and photographers.

This is a great season to really enjoy the resident predators of Ndutu and indeed Ndutu is a favourite of expert guides, scientists and biologists for its high numbers of cats including lion, leopard, cheetah, civet, serval, wild cat and caracal. The resident predators are territorial and so once they have had their young they remain at Ndutu in the local marsh areas which stay wet all year round and are an essential fresh water source for the herbivores therefore attracting predators. All meals and overnight stay at a luxury tented camp.
