DAY 7 (February 26, 2023)
Today we'll spend our time on game drives in the Ndutu area.  Ndutu is known for all the big cats.  This time of year is extra special because it is calving season for wildebeest which brings a lot of action for photographers.  In Ndutu we are able to go off-road to track/trail the wildlife - this makes our jobs as photographers a bit easier and provides some wonderful image making opportunities.  Overnight at Elwai Camp.  (B, L, D)
