Safari profile
This safari is
specifically for great photographic opportunity of calving wildebeests, our
camp is located in Ndutu, an area famed for extraordinary wildlife! Huge
concentrations of the great migration often gather in this area from late
December through March as it is the wildebeest calving season when 400,000
wildebeest calves are born. This incredible concentration of potential prey
leads to very high densities of predators and the area and season is unmatched
for the potential to observe start to finish hunts. Ndutu is exceptional for
cheetah and has proven to be quite a nursery area to raise their young cubs.
Lions and spotted hyena are also very common and frequently observed hunting.
There is a great diversity of habitats with expansive plains, great marshes,
lakes, and woodlands. Full day trips can be made to other rich areas such as
Gol Kopjes, Central Serengeti, Kusini Plains, Moru Kopjes, and the Kakesio
Plains to the south.
These trips will
be lead by Paul Kirui who is a photographer and tour leader for many years. he
will work with the drivers on the ground to give you the best photographic
opportunity. You will be provided with bean bags for camera support in each
vehicle. I can also avail some other kinds of mounts for cameras.
