ACTIVITIES AT Lake Masek Tented Lodge
Game Drives in the Southern Serengeti
Lake Masek Tented Lodge is located in the Ndutu region of the Serengeti, making it a prime spot for game drives, especially during the calving season of the Great Migration (December to March). Unlike most areas of the Serengeti, the Ndutu region allows for night game drives, offering guests a rare opportunity to experience the park after dark. With the use of infrared spotlights, visitors can observe nocturnal animals such as leopards, aardvarks, civets, and bush babies.
Guided Nature Walks
For a slower-paced safari experience, guests can join guided nature walks around Lake Masek and the surrounding woodlands. These walks focus on learning about the smaller aspects of the ecosystem, such as insects, flora, and the tracks of different animals. Walking safaris also provide excellent bird-watching opportunities, as the region is home to a diverse range of raptors, waterbirds, and migratory species.
