Safari summary

This 4-day Ndutu Calving Season Safari is perfectly designed to showcase one of Africa’s most extraordinary wildlife events — the Great Wildebeest Migration calving season in the Ndutu region of the southern Serengeti ecosystem. From December to March, more than 500,000 wildebeest calves are born on the open Ndutu plains, attracting large numbers of predators and creating dramatic wildlife encounters.

Ndutu offers a unique safari experience with open grasslands, seasonal lakes, and special off-road driving access, allowing closer and more flexible wildlife viewing. This is the best time to witness newborn calves taking their first steps, powerful predator action from lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas, and endless herds stretching across the plains.

Travel in a private 4x4 safari vehicle with an experienced guide, enjoy carefully selected tented camps close to wildlife areas, and experience authentic safari moments from sunrise to sunset. This short yet intense safari is ideal for photographers, wildlife lovers, and travelers seeking the most dramatic season in the Serengeti.
