Best Time for the 3 Days Family Ndutu Calving and Ngorongoro Crater Safari

The strongest period is late December to early March, when the Ndutu plains become a major calving area. This period can also include the short rains, so occasional showers are possible. Green landscapes, young calves, active predators, and dramatic skies make this a rewarding seasonal choice. Check your preferred dates with us now.
