Safari summary

Experience one of Tanzania’s most exciting wildlife spectacles on this 5-day private Calving Season Safari in 2027/2028

From January to March, vast herds of wildebeest and zebras gather across the nutrient-rich plains of Ndutu and the Southern Serengeti. This period brings thousands of newborn wildebeest calves and attracts predators including lions, cheetahs and hyenas, creating exceptional opportunities for wildlife viewing and photography.

Spend three rewarding days exploring the wider Ndutu and Southern Serengeti ecosystem, allowing your private guide the flexibility to follow current herd movements rather than rushing between destinations.

Complete your adventure with a safari inside the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, home to an extraordinary concentration of wildlife including lions, elephants, buffaloes, hippos, hyenas and the endangered black rhino.

This seasonal private safari is designed for wildlife lovers, photographers and travellers who want to experience Tanzania during one of the most remarkable periods of the Great Migration.

Arusha to Ndutu

Depart Arusha in the morning and travel through the beautiful Ngorongoro highlands towards the Ndutu region.

Ndutu Calving Safari

Spend a full day exploring the Ndutu ecosystem, one of the key areas for the Great Migration during the calving season. Follow wildebeest and zebra herds across the open plains while searching for newborn calves and predator activity. Your private guide will use current wildlife information to choose rewarding game-viewing areas throughout the day.

Accommodation: Mid-range tented camp

Southern Serengeti

Enjoy another full day exploring Ndutu and the Southern Serengeti plains. Having an additional day in the region gives you greater flexibility to follow the migration herds as they move according to rainfall and fresh grazing. Search for cheetahs, lions, hyenas, giraffes, elephants and large concentrations of wildebeest and zebras.

Accommodation: Mid-range tented camp

Ndutu to Ngorongoro

Enjoy an early morning game drive across the Ndutu plains, when wildlife is particularly active.
