Where the Great Migration Begins

The Ndutu area in the southern Serengeti is where the Great Migration begins. Between December and March, over 1.5 million wildebeest congregate on the short-grass plains to give birth. Predators — lion, cheetah, hyena — follow closely.

This safari combines the migration spectacle with game drives in Tarangire (famous for its elephant herds and baobab trees) and a descent into the Ngorongoro Crater.
