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.

Spend a full day exploring the Ndutu ecosystem, one of the key areas for the Great Migration during the calving season.
