This lodge offers good value simple accommodations located in the Southern end of the Serengeti on the Ndutu Plains. Excellent opportunities for viewing the annual wildebeest migration from January through April. Availability can be an issue, so plan really early if you want to stay here.

In the heart of the Serengeti Plain, beside small Lake Ndutu set in beautiful acacia woodland, is Ndutu Safari Lodge. The friendly Ndutu Lodge staff has been there for years wanting to welcome you and make you feel at home. Ndutu has an informal, intimate feeling so one feels instanty at home.
The thirty four stone and thatch cottages are naturally cool due to the thick walls and they provide simple and comfortable accommodation. Each room has an en- suite bathroom with hot showers, sink and flushing toilet. All of the cottages have a private veranda overlooking the natural unfenced landscape of indigenous trees and shrubs outside your cottage door ensuring you are never far from the host of birds and mammals who call the Ndutu area home.
The famous migration is a dynamic process of herd animals following the rains and the grasses in a clockwise direction, crossing from the Maasai Mara into the Serengeti. The Southern Plains of the Serengeti are home to huge wildebeest and zebra herds during the months of December-April. Amazingly, about 80 percent of the females give birth within the same 4 to 5 week period, creating a glut for predators and thus enabling more calves to survive the crucial first few weeks. This is a time of plenty for the predators, the lions, cheetah, leopards and hyena, so they are especially active.
