Every December, around two million migratory animals make their way to the Ndutu region. These animals include zebra, wildebeest, gazelle, and impala. They migrate to Ndutu to give birth to their calves.
The area is well-known for its nutrient-rich grasses. These grasses are short enough for adult animals to see any potential predators. This makes it a secure environment for their calves.
Predators such as lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, and wild dogs are attracted to the area. Calving and roaming across the plain draw them to this location. Other animals including impalas, buffaloes, elands, and topis
The lodge is conveniently located in the Serengeti. It is near some of the best game-viewing spots, such as the Seronera Valley.
This valley is only 80 kilometers (1 ½ hours) away. The southern Serengeti’s Kusini and Moru areas are close by. Ngorongoro Crater, a famous world site, is only 90 kilometers (2 hours) away.
