Overview

Experience the remarkable wildlife of northern Tanzania on a three-day safari through the Ndutu region and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Travelling in February, you will visit Ndutu during the Great Migration calving season, when vast herds of wildebeest gather on the grasslands and newborn calves attract predators such as lions, cheetahs and leopards.

Explore the scenic landscapes surrounding Lake Ndutu and Lake Masek, where wildlife gathers around the water and open plains offer excellent opportunities for photography. Continue to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and discover the extraordinary ecosystem of the Ngorongoro Crater, home to elephants, buffaloes, zebras, lions and the endangered black rhinoceros.

Stay at a mobile tented safari camp in Ndutu and a lodge overlooking the Ngorongoro Crater, subject to booking confirmation. With an experienced English-speaking safari guide, a 4x4 Land Cruiser, selected meals and planned transfers, this journey combines wildlife encounters, dramatic landscapes and comfortable safari accommodation.

● Witness the Great Migration calving season in Ndutu, where thousands of wildebeest give birth across the southern Serengeti.

● Spot lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, giraffes, and other wildlife across Tanzania’s open savannahs.

● Explore the scenic Lake Ndutu and Lake Masek areas, renowned for wildlife viewing and photography.

Exceptional Service from AdventuretripR

Exceptional Service from AdventuretripR Our recent trip to Tanzania was unforgettable, and a huge part of that was thanks to the outstanding planning and support from AdventuretripR. They seamlessly coordinated every aspect of our itinerary, connecting my son with Altezza Travel for his successful Mount Kilimanjaro climb and arranging our incredible safari experience with Red Road Tours. Both partners were professional, reliable, and exceeded our expectations. What truly set AdventuretripR apart was their exceptional customer service. We had a few last-minute travel changes, and the team was incredibly patient, understanding, and accommodating throughout the process. They handled every adjustment with professionalism and efficiency, giving us complete peace of mind during what could have been a stressful time. From the planning stage to the end of our journey, everything was thoughtfully organized, allowing us to simply enjoy the adventure. Thanks to AdventuretripR, our family created memories that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend AdventuretripR to anyone planning a trip to Tanzania or looking for a travel company that genuinely cares about its clients and goes above and beyond to deliver an exceptional experience.

Meticulous planning and execution by Adventure Tripr!!

My friends and I recently embarked on a life-changing journey with a Kilimanjaro climb and Safari adventure, an experience that will forever remain etched in our memories, regardless of our age. This incredible adventure was made possible through the meticulous planning and execution by Adventure Tripr in collaboration with Altezza Travels, an alliance that proved to be truly exceptional. Our entire expedition was marked by an unparalleled level of comfort and luxury, which we found surprising given the demanding conditions and high altitudes of our adventure. From the moment we set up camp, we were treated to clean and comfortable accommodation, complete with well-maintained toilet facilities. The culinary delights we enjoyed during our journey, which included delectable vegetarian options, exceeded our expectations. One standout moment was the well-timed snack breaks, where we indulged in delicious biscuits and tea while ascending the magnificent Kilimanjaro. Each morning began with a warm greeting and a steaming cup of coffee, setting the perfect tone for the day's adventures. The thoughtful gesture of dusting off our hiking boots after a challenging hike was greatly appreciated, as was the cozy bedtime tradition of providing hot water bottles to keep us warm in chilly nights. The true stars of our adventure were the dedicated porters and guides from Altezza Travels. Their friendliness and constant enthusiasm, often expressed through joyful singing and dancing, added a remarkable energy to our journey. Their dedication to ensuring our well-being and enjoyment was truly commendable and went above and beyond our expectations. Our safari experience was truly beyond compare, as we had the privilege of encountering all five of the magnificent big wild animals. The adventure was filled with awe and wonder, leaving an indelible mark on our hearts. After the exhilarating but bumpy safari rides, we were treated to the ultimate in comfort and luxury at our glamping facility. The accommodation provided a haven of relaxation, complete with a plush bed and the luxury of a hot water shower and a flushable toilet. It was a remarkable blend of wilderness and comfort. The culinary experiences during our safari were nothing short of exceptional. The food we savored reached a level of excellence that exceeded our expectations. However, one particular highlight was the Bush dinner. This unique dining experience quickly became our favorite, offering a five-course meal under the starry African sky. The combination of live music and dance in the midst of the wild, enveloped in darkness punctuated by the sounds of wild animals, created a thrilling atmosphere that will forever be etched in our memories. In summary, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to Adventure Trpr and Alteza Travels for facilitating an extraordinary adventure that exceeded all our expectations. The memories of our Kilimanjaro climb and Safari, enriched by these unforgettable experiences, have left an indelible mark on our souls, and we are immensely grateful for the unforgettable memories that will remain with us for a lifetime.
