Create lifelong family memories with our 5-Day Family Ndutu Calving Holiday between January and March. Tailored specifically for families with children, teens, and grandparents, this holiday balances comfortable travel, family-friendly accommodations, and the awe-inspiring wildlife miracle of the Great Migration calving season in Ndutu. Watch baby wildebeest and zebra foals take their first steps and run across the vast plains within minutes of birth. Enjoy private game drives in a customized 4x4 Land Cruiser with a dedicated family guide, marvel at the giant elephant herds in Tarangire, track wildlife off-road in the NCAA Ndutu sector, and explore the wondrous caldera of Ngorongoro Crater together.
Your family safari starts with a morning pickup in Arusha by your private driver-guide, traveling to Tarangire National Park. Kids and adults alike will be thrilled by Tarangire's massive elephant families, towering baobab trees, giraffes, zebras, and playful monkeys along the river. In the late afternoon, drive to your family-friendly lodge or tented camp for dinner and overnight rest.
After a relaxed family breakfast, journey through the picturesque Ngorongoro Highlands and descend onto the southern Serengeti and Ndutu calving plains. Arrive amidst endless herds of wildebeest mothers and baby calves. Embark on an afternoon family game drive tracking wildlife before settling into your comfortable family tented camp for dinner around the campfire.
Spend an exciting full day discovering the Ndutu calving grounds. With permitted off-road driving in the NCAA Ndutu sector, your guide positions the vehicle close to newborn calves, hunting cheetahs, and lion prides. Explore Lake Ndutu to see pink flamingos and waterbirds. Enjoy a fun family bush picnic lunch in the wild and return to camp for an evening of stargazing and storytelling.
Enjoy a morning game drive across the plains capturing final photographs of the calving herds. After breakfast, proceed with game viewing as you drive toward the forested rim of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Check in to your family lodge situated on the crater rim, offering panoramic views over the volcanic caldera, cozy fireplace lounges, and a delicious family dinner.
Descend 600 meters early into the Ngorongoro Crater floor for a 5-6 hour Big Five wildlife adventure. Children will love spotting endangered black rhinos, lion prides, giant tusker elephants, and hippos splashing in the pool at Ngoitokitok. Enjoy a picnic lunch on the crater floor before ascending and driving back to Arusha or transfer to Kilimanjaro Airport for departure.
