    · August 29th, 2025
    Our 6-day Wildebeest Migration in Ndutu Area - Calving Season tour was a great experience. Lights on Africa Destinations & Safaris perfectly summed up our trip. From Arusha to Tarangire, Karatu, Ngorongoro, Ndutu Lake and Serengeti - the joy of seeing wildlife in every place was indescribable. The sight of thousands of wildebeest giving birth, especially in the Ndutu area, is truly unforgettable. Our guides were experienced and courteous, the hotels were also comfortable and the food was quality. This trip will be a memorable one for our family.
