Start your day in the farming village of Mto Wa Mbu, where you’ll meet the incredible Solar Sister women. Learn how they bring clean energy to rural homes and take part by distributing solar lights yourself.

From there, head into the Southern Serengeti, one of Africa’s most iconic wildlife regions alongside Kenya’s Masai Mara. This is the stage for the annual wildebeest migration, where over a million animals move across the plains, trailed by lions, elephants, giraffes, and more. It is a photographer’s dream, with opportunities for hot air balloon rides and cultural tours that bring you closer to the heritage of the Masai people.

Being in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) you will be able to drive off-road - a great advantage for getting up close to Africa's large mammals! There is so much to see - witness the Great Migration giving birth to thousands of calves and the predators always searching for their next meal The Ndutu region forms part of the northern section of Ngorongoro Conservation Area and stretches to the unfenced southern reaches of the Serengeti National Park, a meeting point between these two incredible wilderness areas.
