Ndutu Lodge is a low-key lodge, quietly situated on the warmer banks of Lake Ndutu just outside the Southern Serengeti.
Excellently placed in the middle of the path of the Great Migration, which covers the nearby plains in November through to March. The lodge was originally built for an eccentric safari-loving colonial named George Dove, whose portrait hangs in the hallway.
Its small thatched stone rooms are designed in a utilitarian block style, but are well placed in a wild, ground-level location with wildlife potentially close at hand and the chance to sit back and enjoy great, silent, uninterrupted sunsets. Ndutu is run as a joint venture with Gibbs Farm, which supplies masses of fresh home-grown produce to embellish the dining tables each day.
