A place of wonder

Our seasonal Ndutu Wilderness Camp is your cosy hideaway in the heart of the Ndutu plains, right in the thick of calving season which takes place on the grassy plains surrounding the camp. Nestled under shady trees on a private site, our intimate camp features ten spacious tents. Renowned for our warm service and hearty meals, come rest and dine under starry African skies.

Local Area

Ndutu buzzes with year-round wildlife, including elephants, hyenas, giraffes and big cats. Come calving season (January to March), the landscape is dominated by the massive herds of wildebeest and zebra that flood the plains. This explosion of life turns Ndutu into a predator paradise, attracting lions, cheetahs, leopards, servals, and both striped and spotted hyenas – all drawn by the abundance of vulnerable newborns. With its mix of woodlands, plains and soda lakes, Ndutu is also a unique place for birdwatching, with over 400 species to be spotted. Visit Olduvai Gorge and a local Maasai village for a deeper understanding of the culture and heritage of the region.

Reviews

“We found it to be a lovely camp and good value for money. The tents are spacious and comfortable, and the staff extremely accommodating. Meals were adequate considering they are in the middle of the bush. Lovely to hear the hyenas giggling and lions roaring at night (you are accompanied by a Masai warrior at night!)”

“This camp was really comfortable and a great place to stay while seeing the great migration on the Mara River nearby. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed my stay!”
