3-Day Honeymoon Fly in Zanzibar Ndutu with Hot Balloon

On this day, you will land at Seronera Airstrip and set off on a game drive en route to Ndutu. Upon arrival, the adventure continues with a half-day safari, complete with a picnic lunch in the wild. Ndutu’s vast grasslands blend seamlessly into the Serengeti and lie along the path of the Great Migration, where more than two million wildebeests journey alongside thousands of zebras, gazelles, and antelopes. Between December and April, the area becomes the heart of the calving season, as newborn animals draw predators in thrilling encounters of survival. Permanent water sources such as Lake Ndutu and Lake Masek ensure that wildlife thrives here throughout the year. Ndutu is also renowned for its population of big cats—lion, leopard, cheetah, serval, caracal, and African wildcat—making it a prime spot for unforgettable predator sightings. After a day filled with wildlife drama, you’ll head to your lodge for an overnight stay.

After breakfast, you’ll descend nearly 2,000 feet into the Ngorongoro Crater, a dramatic caldera created by a volcanic eruption more than three million years ago. This natural wonder shelters an extraordinary concentration of wildlife, from black rhinos and elephants to lions, zebras, and wildebeests, all thriving around its freshwater and soda lakes. The morning will be dedicated to a game drive across this remarkable landscape, followed by a picnic lunch beside one of the crater’s scenic lakes. Later in the afternoon, you’ll ascend the crater walls and continue to Arusha, where you’ll board your flight back to Zanzibar.
