Best Time for the 5 Days Private Tarangire, Ndutu Calving, and Ngorongoro Safari
The strongest period is late December through early March, when the Ndutu area can become a major wildlife focus during the calving season. Newborn wildebeest and other grazing animals attract predators, creating rewarding opportunities for patient game viewing. This period overlaps with a short rainy season, so some rain should be expected. Green landscapes, young animals, and changing skies can add a beautiful atmosphere to your private safari.

Safari transportation uses a 4x4 Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof, open viewing area, and window seats, with seating for up to six safari passengers.

Transport from Arusha to the safari parks is included, while airport transfers can be arranged according to your preferred arrival and departure plans.
