Why Choose This 6 Days Tarangire, Ndutu, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Low Season Safari?

• Lush Green Landscapes: Scenic Beauty: The rainy season transforms the parks into a vibrant, green paradise. The once-dry landscapes are replenished with new growth, creating breathtaking scenery. Rivers and waterholes fill up, making for lush vistas and picturesque settings for your safari. The lush environment, combined with the dramatic skies of the rainy season, offers ideal conditions for photographers looking for dynamic landscapes and wildlife shots.
• The Wildebeest Migration (Seasonal): Wildebeest Calving: If you visit during the early rainy season (typically December to April), you’ll have the chance to witness the calving season in Ndutu and the Serengeti. This is one of the most spectacular moments of the Great Migration. Newborn wildebeests, along with zebras and gazelles, are abundant and attract predators like lions and cheetahs, making for dramatic wildlife sightings.
• Fewer Crowds and More Peaceful Experience: Exclusive Feel: The rainy season, or low season, means fewer tourists, giving you the advantage of quieter parks and private game drives. You can enjoy the landscapes and wildlife without the congestion of crowded safari vehicles. With fewer visitors, you’ll have more freedom to explore at your own pace, ensuring a more relaxed and intimate safari experience. Your guide can tailor the experience to your preferences, allowing for a more customized adventure.
• Rich Bird Watching Opportunities: Migratory Birds: The rainy season attracts migratory birds, making this an excellent time for birdwatching. Species like flamingos, storks, and a wide variety of raptors and waterfowl flock to the wetlands and rivers in Tarangire and Ngorongoro, providing fantastic opportunities for bird lovers. The lush environment supports an abundance of colorful bird species, adding a new dimension to your safari.
• Tarangire National Park: Elephant Paradise in the Rain: Tarangire is known for its large elephant herds, and during the rainy season, the park’s water sources (such as the Tarangire River) are full, attracting even more elephants. The elephants gather around the river and swamps, providing excellent opportunities to see them in large groups, engaging in social behaviors. Beyond elephants, Tarangire also has a rich variety of other animals like lions, leopards, buffalo, giraffes, and wildebeests, all of which are present in the lush, green environment of the rainy season.
• Serengeti National Park: A Serenade of Nature: Wide-Open Spaces: The Serengeti’s vast landscapes appear even more stunning with the rainfall. The rolling plains of the Serengeti come alive with greenery, providing a striking contrast to the golden savannahs typically seen during the dry season. During the rainy season, the Serengeti still offers incredible predator sightings, especially near the wildebeest herds. The lush conditions make for exciting predator-prey interactions, with cheetahs, lions, and leopards taking advantage of the abundance of prey.
• Ngorongoro Crater: Wildlife Wonderland: Crater Floor Wildlife: The Ngorongoro Crater, often called the “Garden of Eden,” is always rich in wildlife, and during the rainy season, the lush grasses and numerous water sources make it even more special. The crater is home to a large population of Big 5 animals, including rhinos, lions, elephants, buffalo, and leopards. The combination of a dense population of wildlife and the beautiful green landscape makes the crater an awe-inspiring location, especially when the rain enhances its beauty.
• Enhanced Game Viewing Opportunities: Animals Gathering Around Water Sources: The rainy season results in more water available across the parks, but animals tend to congregate around specific waterholes or rivers. This means that while there may be more foliage, game viewing can still be abundant in concentrated areas where animals are easier to spot. The rainy season is also a time when many animals give birth, so you’re likely to witness adorable baby animals in Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, which adds a unique charm to your safari experience.
• Lower Rates: Traveling during the rainy season means lower prices for accommodations, park fees, and flights. You can experience the beauty of these parks at a fraction of the price compared to peak season, without sacrificing the quality of your safari.
• Exclusive Deals: Many lodges and safari operators offer low season special deals, which can make the safari more affordable and accessible for travelers on a budget.
