Lake Ndutu
Lake Ndutu
Lake Ndutu is located in the heart of the southern Serengeti, famous for offering some of the best year-round wildlife viewing in the entire Serengeti ecosystem.
This area is particularly renowned for:
The Great Migration:
From December to Jun, enormous wildebeest and zebra herds gather around the lake to graze on the fresh, green grasses that sprout after the seasonal rains. This is also prime calving season, with countless wildebeest giving birth to their young, making it an incredible predator-prey spectacle.
Big Cat Capital:
Ndutu boasts incredible big cat sightings year-round. You can expect to see lions, cheetahs, and leopards, along with several smaller cat species like servals and caracals.
