Ndutu Safari Lodge

Sarah Fox

Great place for bird spotting over lunch, tons of love birds in the trees. A very comfortable lodge with a location close to water making it great for attracting the local wildlife.

Ndutu Safari Lodge is situated in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in the southern Serengeti eco-system. The Lodge nestles unobtrusively under a canopy of giant acacias overlooking a soda lake, Lake Ndutu. The lodge offers a superb base in which to explore the range of habitats that lie within easy reach, this include swamps, woodlands, soda lakes and the world famous Serengeti short grass plains. Ndutu Safari Lodge has been a favourite with professional wildlife photographers and film-makers for the past four decades, because it's simply one of the best places to watch wildlife.

Location

Ndutu airstrip (all weather, since April 2008) is 1 Km away from the lodge. Approximate flying time from Arusha Airport to Ndutu is 50 minutes. Drive time from Arusha is approximately 6 hours and from the central Serengeti approximately 2 hours. Other airstrips in the vicinity are Seronera and Manyara.

Highlights

  • From Dec to May this lodge is THE place to be when the wildebeest migration moves through the area.
  • The animals calve on the plains in February and gallop through the woodlands. They even swim across the lake. (For this reason for the months of Jan and Feb the lodge is normally booked two years in advance!)
