Savannah Ndutu Camp
Savannah Ndutu Camp is a luxury seasonal tented camp in the Ndutu area of the southern Serengeti ecosystem, operational during the wildebeest calving season from December through March when the region becomes the stage for one of nature's most extraordinary spectacles. Set among acacia woodland near Lake Ndutu, spacious walk-in tents with en-suite facilities and quality furnishings provide comfort in the midst of the calving drama — up to 8,000 wildebeest calves are born daily during the peak weeks.

The camp's seasonal operation ensures guests experience the Ndutu area at its absolute peak. For wildlife photographers and safari enthusiasts, calving season at Ndutu is the Serengeti at its most intense.
