Gnu Ndutu Camp

Gnu Ndutu Camp

In the heart of the calving season

Gnu Ndutu Camp is a seasonal, mobile tented camp strategically located in the Ndutu region of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, near the Serengeti National Park. This camp is specially set up to follow the Great Migration’s calving season, when thousands of wildebeests give birth on the vast plains, attracting numerous predators.

With comfortably furnished tents, eco-friendly operations, and a prime location, Gnu Ndutu Camp provides an authentic, off the grid safari experience. The camp moves seasonally to ensure guests get the best wildlife viewing while staying close to the action. It’s an excellent choice for travelers looking for a front row seat to the dramatic predator-prey interactions of the calving season.
