5-Day Tarangire and Ngorongoro Photographic Safari

5 Days 📍Serengeti National Park 👤Small group, max 4-6 for better shooting angles
From $3,300 USD per person*

Overview

Combines the central Serengeti with the Ndutu area to the south — the short-grass plains where, during calving season (roughly December to March), thousands of wildebeest give birth within weeks of each other, drawing predators in close. Outside calving season, this route still covers some of the Serengeti's most reliable big-cat territory.
Like every itinerary Millennia Safaris runs, this one is a starting point rather than a fixed package — tell us your dates and what matters most to you, and we'll adjust the route, pace and accommodation level to fit.
