    Ndutu is such a special place in the Serengeti ecosystem. It is here where all the gnus and zebras come to deliver their young ones. Cats too find this to be a great spot to hide their little ones. A good number of lions, cheetahs, leopards reside around this unique and special land – Ndutu. At this particular season, things might look a bit different. The amount of dust, less heards … but still a great idea to explore the area for some time. We suggest an escorted morning walk through the African Savannah for about two hours then proceed with game drive in your safari car.
