Safari summary
Witness one of nature’s most dramatic wildlife spectacles with this immersive 4-day safari focused on the Great Migration’s calving season in the Ndutu area of Southern Serengeti. Designed for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers alike, this adventure offers front-row seats to the miracle of life and the raw, untamed drama that follows.
Every year between January and March, hundreds of thousands of wildebeest gather on the short-grass plains of Ndutu to give birth. This incredible event creates a lush, green landscape dotted with newborn calves finding their feet for the first time. But it’s not just a time of new life it’s also a magnet for Africa’s top predators. Lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas lie in wait, making for thrilling game viewing and unforgettable photo opportunities.
Your journey begins with a scenic drive through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area before arriving in Ndutu. Spend your days exploring prime wildlife habitats in custom 4x4 safari vehicles with pop-up roofs, guided by expert local guides who know the best spots for witnessing both the tender moments of calving and the electrifying predator hunts that follow.
Relax in comfortable tented camps or lodges that bring you close to the action without sacrificing comfort. Evenings are for swapping stories around the campfire, enjoying hearty meals, and falling asleep to the sounds of the African night.
This 4-day safari is perfect for anyone seeking the raw drama of the wild, intimate wildlife encounters, and an authentic taste of Africa’s most famous migration season. Experience the circle of life in its purest form up close, unforgettable, and uniquely Tanzania.
