Lake Ndutu Luxury Tented Lodge: Your Front-Row Seat to the Great Migration Calving Season

See the dramatic cycle of life up close at Lake Ndutu Luxury Tented Lodge. Set in the Ndutu region between the South Eastern Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, the lodge gives you unmatched access to the Great Migration calving season from January to March.

This area is where thousands of wildebeest and zebra give birth, drawing many predators and creating an incredible wildlife scene. The lodge blends comfort, eco-friendly design, and a close connection to this unique ecosystem.

Prime Location in the Heart of the Calving Grounds

Ndutu is at the heart of the migration for more than five months each year, and the lodge sits right in this important area. Its location is perfect for seeing the excitement and beauty of the calving season.

Calving Season Hub: The short-grass plains around the lodge are a key nursery for migrating herds and offer some of Africa’s most intense predator-prey action.
Strategic Wildlife Corridor: The lodge is a great stop between the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, with easy access to the Seronera Valley (80km), Southern Serengeti, and the Crater (90km).
Accessibility: You can get here with a 5-hour drive or a 1-hour flight from Arusha. The Ndutu airstrip is only 15 minutes away by car.

Luxury Tented Accommodation on Elevated Platforms

The lodge has 20 luxury tented rooms, including two family suites, all built on raised wooden platforms. This design helps protect the environment while providing great views and comfort.

Spacious & Immersive Design: Each tent has floor-to-ceiling glass panels, so you can enjoy wide views from your bed and private veranda out to the wild landscape. Traditional makuti roofing adds a local touch and keeps you sheltered.
Eco-Luxury Amenities: Every tent runs on solar power all day and comes with a king or twin bed with mosquito netting, a mini-fridge, tea and coffee, and free Wi-Fi.
Luxurious En-Suite Bathrooms: Each bathroom has both indoor and outdoor showers, double sinks, a flush toilet, and reliable hot and cold water.
