Between late January and March the herds are on the short-grass plains of Ndutu, dropping calves at a rate of eight thousand a day. Predators follow. This trip puts you in a mobile camp among them rather than two hours away.

Airport pickup and a night outside town, briefing over dinner.
A green-season afternoon in Tarangire, then up to the highlands.
Down onto the short-grass plains, game driving into a mobile camp pitched near the herds.
A whole day among the calving herds, with lion, cheetah and hyena working the edges.
A second day, because the birthing and the hunting rarely happen when you are watching.
East out of the plains and up to the rim for sunset.

Late January through mid-March, peaking in February. The herds follow rain, so we confirm camp position about three weeks out.
No. Short afternoon storms, then clear light. The grass is green and the plains are almost empty of other vehicles.
Walk-in tents with real beds and en-suite bucket showers. It is not roughing it, but it is canvas.
