Lake Ndutu Safari Lodge
Southern Serengeti
Tanzania
George Dove established Ndutu Safari Camp in the late 1960’s. It is a simple old-fashioned safari camp, but it is in a great location to explore the short grass plains of the Southern Serengeti. The wildebeest migration passes through here, usually between December and April when the rains have made the plains lush and green.
Ndutu Safari Lodge offers an inexpensive, good value, no frills, central base from which to explore the short-grass plains of the southern Serengeti and the northern section of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
The camp has thirty-four humble stone and thatch en-suite cottages extending from the central bar and dining area. Each cottage has a private veranda looking out onto the Lake Ndutu.
Located in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, bordering the Serengeti, the perennial Masek Lake and the seasonal Ndutu Lake support wonderful birds and fabulous resident wildlife.
About This Area
The Serengeti National Park in Tanzania is a vast expanse of sprawling grasslands crisscrossed with the green veins of seasonal watercourses and dotted with grazing herds of game. An area of roughly 15,000 km sq, it is a jewel within the Greater Serengeti ecosystem and a haven for wildlife. In this vast wilderness you feel you can explore forever and never tire of it.
Vast short-grass plains cover the south of Serengeti National Park, stretching into the north of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Maswa Game Reserve. The majority of this area is flat open savannah, dotted with occasional small rocky outcrops, Kopjes. The plains are alive with grazing wildebeest from around late-November to April, although the precise timing of the migration is entirely dependent upon rainfall patterns each An estimated two million wildebeest, half a million zebras, and countless other herbivores traverse the ecosystem during this time.
