HOTELS & LODGES
NDUTU CONSERVATION AREA


NDUTU SAFARI LODGE:

 
Surrounded by giant, flat-topped acacias, with Lake Ndutu glittering beyond, Ndutu is the only lodge from which you can witness the spectacle of the wildebeest migration in the calving season, and on a sunny day when the grass is green there is nowhere else I would rather be.

Our friendly staff have been here for years wanting to welcome you and make you feel at home. Ndutu still has the informal, intimate feeling of the original bush camp, built by legendary hunter George Dove in the 60's. Now, comfortable cottages have replaced tents, but our main buildings place no barriers between you and nature. At breakfast you will be delighted by iridescent birds, at lunch you may be entertained by a passing group of elephants, at dinner by an exquisite genet gliding over the rafters. Rest your eyes on a near tree or the distant view.

Sights abound, so do sounds. Listen to the murmurs of a million doves greeting the sunrise, a cacophony of guinea fowl as they startle away, the swish of a hawk through the clear air. Hyenas howling, zebras and jackals barking, the rich chorus of Ndutu rings round, night and day. Don't expect five stars. From our campfire, you'll see millions! Wildlife photographers and biologists have been coming to Ndutu for decades.

It is true we have the only bar and the best food within at least a 50 km radius, but besides our friendly atmosphere, appreciators of wildlife know that the Ndutu area attracts like minds as well as a huge variety of animals. So talk to your companions in the lounge and around the campfire - researchers, rock stars, rangers, recluses or royalty - you might even meet someone from your home town who has come all this way to partake of the joy of being on safari at Ndutu.
