Wildebeest Calving Safari

Safari summary

This 4-day safari takes you into the heart of the Southern Serengeti’s Ndutu plains during the magical wildebeest calving season (January – March). Each year, more than half a million calves are born within just a few weeks, transforming the region into one of Africa’s most thrilling wildlife stages. With the newborns come predators—lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas—creating dramatic encounters that showcase nature’s raw power.

Your adventure begins with an overnight stay in Arusha, giving you time to unwind after your arrival. From there, you’ll journey across the Great Rift Valley and the lush Ngorongoro Highlands before reaching the wide-open plains of Ndutu. Here, daily game drives immerse you in vast herds of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles spread across the endless savannah.

On the final day, the safari takes you into the legendary Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site often described as the “Eighth Wonder of the World.” This natural amphitheater shelters a remarkable concentration of wildlife, including elephants, buffalo, lions, and the rare black rhino.

Crafted for travelers with limited time, this program delivers an unforgettable immersion into the Great Migration’s calving season, combined with the awe-inspiring landscapes of Ngorongoro.
