I spent two wonderful weeks at Ndutu Safari Lodge in April 2007. This is a magic place, and I hope to return very soon. Actually I cannot wait. Aadje is a perfect, and I was fortunate to meet Louise, Paul and little Emily. Everybody makes you feel so welcome and you are sad to have to leave, back to civilization. I saw so many animals every day, that I don't know which to select. So I thought you might like my Cheetahs, and you are very welcome to chose whatever you like for your album.

I thought you might like to see a photo taken about 30 yards in front of our room at a sunset in March 2007. It was the most spectacular sunset of the entire trip!Rick Carlson

This was our second stay at Ndutu and we love it - we will definitely be back again in two years time when we return to Tanzania. Our stay with you from 1st Jan to 4th Jan was not disappointing, to say the least. We found the huge number of wildebeest simply awesome and although the heavy rain made it very difficult for wildlife spotting, we were lucky enough to see the 'honeymoon' lion couple mating, as well as the very old (and tuskless) elephant who we have named "Big Boy" IT was really something special, to see this elephant with the rest of his family, as we realised how big he really is.
We would like to thank Stephen for organising our room when we arrived so we could all stay together. And as usual, a big thank you for Joseph and the other staff in the restaurant who looked after us so well. All the staff throughout the lodge were extremely helpful and we look forward to seeing everyone again.

We have stayed at Ndutu twice (January 2006 five nights, January 2007 seven nights) and will be returning in February 2008 for seven nights. We have some photos taken from Ndutu that you can link to if you wish but we would like to just give you the address and let you post that on your site rather than having you upload our images. ...
Here is the site ...

mostly lions, cheetahs and beautiful birds, but we also photographed the mouse-catching serval last year and also a honey badger.

"Of the five lodges we visited during our tour of the Tanzania parks Ndutu was our favorite. We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and very capable staff. We had great luck finding many different animals nearby. Pretty good food, too!"

My sons and I spent some of the most wonderful days of our lives at Ndutu.... I promised to send you pictures from our May 18, 19 and 20 visit to Ndutu. As we were nearing the lodge, we saw these lions mating, which they carried on doing for the next three days! The next day we sat up with this cheetah mother with three cubs as they fed on a wildebeest calf. The migration had just begun and by the 20th, the wildebeest and zebra were all gone! The feeding cheetahs were interrupted by a spotted hyena and they eventually lost their kill to the marauder, watched by two tawny eagles and a huge flock of fighting and noisy vultures. Hope you like the photos.

The last ten days of April 06, we spent our Easter holidays in Tanzania, 3 of them at Ndutu lodge, where we visit the Ndutu area on six morning and afternoon safaris.
Apart for some heavy, but short showers, the weather was good, with beautiful lights and wonderful skys. Thanks to that rain, the landscape was fantastic, there was green and water everywhere.
Wildlife was great, after four African safaris, Ndutu has been our best area for predators and we have seen plenty of lions and cheetah (ten diferents in 3 days) and, of course, the marvelous migration, with wildbeest and zebra everywhere.
We had 2 rooms at Ndutu Lodge, they were very nice and we really enjoy the quiet and relax after lunch and dinner.
Ndutu has been one of our top destination in Africa, and we are sure we will come back In the near future.
February 2008: Almost 2 years after my visit to Ndutu I have finally concluded my galleries.
I am sending you the link to my Ndutu gallery, maybe you can add it to my comment so people can visit it.

Dear Aadje: We are pleased to take advantage of the "News and Views" segment of Ndutu's web page. Our second trip to your lodge was for five days in April, 2006. Your accomodations are excellent, the staff courteous and helpful and the food is a good as any we have experienced in thirteen countries in Africa. Some of the attached photos were taken in the close vacinity of the Lodge like the leopard, lion cubs and ground hornbill. Others such as adult lions, cheetah and wildebeest hers were photographed on a day trip out to the kopje area just inside Serengeti Park.
In your latest Newsletter you wrote of seeing four ground hornbills near the lodge. We think they might be the exact four we watched in April.

We visited Ndutu in mid January 06 and had a really great time. I've been on several trips in Africa (South Africa, Botswana, etc.) but the Serengeti, especially the Ndutu area, is unrivalled both in its beauty and its game. We missed the wildebeest migration unfortunately, the big rains arrived just after we had gone back home (Italy for me and the US for my mom Dianne), but despite that our gameviewing was exceptional: in one week we saw 80 lions - 30 cheetahs - 5 leopards just to mention some cat numbers, plus a couple of highlights such as a black rhino with calf at Moru, 12 hyenas harassing 2 lionesses on a kill near Seronera, and a big blond male lion mock charging at us while we were looking at him from behind the restrooms at Naabi gate. It was indeed a great experience and our 6 night stay at Ndutu Lodge was wonderful. Here are a few shots of our encounters.
Will definitely come back soon!
