Ndutu Safari Lodge is situated in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in the southern Serengeti eco-system of Tanzania. The lodge nestles unobtrusively under a canopy of giant acacias overlooking a soda lake, Lake Ndutu.
The lodge is a superb base from which to explore the diverse habitats that lie within easy reach, including swamps, woodlands, soda lakes and the world famous Serengeti short grass plains. Ndutu Safari Lodge has been a favourite with professional wildlife photographers and film-makers for the past 4 decades, due to the abundance of wildlife viewable from or nearby the lodge.
The lodge has an informal, intimate feeling and the buildings allow a sense of being connected to nature. There are no fences around the lodge and wild animals wander past throughout the day and night. Watchmen are on duty throughout the night and are on hand to escort you back to your cottage.
During the day you can hire one of Ndutu's 2 safari vehicles or use your own vehicle to go game viewing, embark on a walking trip accompanied by a park ranger, observe wildlife up close around the lodge, or marvel at the diverse birdlife.
Evenings can be spent around a roaring campfire or in the cosy bar, where nocturnal genets (small spotted cat-like animals) usually make an appearance, as they gaze down from the rafters.
Ndutu Safari Lodge offers full laundry services, telephone, fax, internet and email access. There is a well-stocked gift shop selling curios along with a variety of toiletries and snacks.
LocationNdutu Safari Lodge is situated in the heart of the Serengeti Plain, at the head of Olduvai Gorge, beside a small lake set in beautiful acacia woodland, with the mighty Ngorongoro Crater highlands as a backdrop.
