Choose between an early sunrise game drive or a full-day exploration with a packed breakfast and lunch. Today, we focus on the predatory-prey dynamics. The open plains of Ndutu offer the best visibility in Africa for spotting cheetahs as they scan the herds for a meal. Enjoy the unique freedom of off-road driving (exclusive to the Ndutu region) to reach the most dramatic sightings.
