(Serengeti NP)

Ndutu Safari Lodge is situated in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in the southern Serengeti eco-system, set under a canopy of giant acacias overlooking a soda lake, Lake Ndutu. The safari lodge still has the informal, intimate feeling of the original bush camp, built by legendary hunter George Dove in the 60's. The lodge is renowned for its friendly and welcoming atmosphere, good service, and simple food well cooked.
There is an airstrip 1 Km away from the lodge. Approximate flying time from Arusha Airport to Ndutu is 50 minutes. Free transfers are available to transport guests to and from Ndutu airstrip to the lodge.
From about December to May the wildlife abounds at Ndutu –from spectacular birdlife to elephants, hyenas, zebras, lions and millions of wildebeest. They calve on the plains in February, gallop through the woodlands and swim across the lake. From June through November, the plains are dry and the great herds gone. This is the time when the resident animals converge around Ndutu's waterholes and marshes - elephants, giraffes, impalas, every kind of cat, a profusion of birds. As a result, it has been a favourite with professional wildlife photographers and film-makers for the past four decades.
Total rooms: 34 single-storey stone cottages – made from local materials and offer comfortable, tasteful accommodation.
