It is designed specifically to witness the Great Migration's calving season in the southern Serengeti/Ndutu plains, paired with a descent into the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater.

Best Time – 3 Days Private Ndutu Calving and Ngorongoro Crater Safari

The strongest period is late December through early March, with January, February, and March especially popular. February is often considered the peak calving period, when very large numbers of wildebeest calves are born and predator activity can become intense. However, this period can include short rains, so expect occasional wet conditions and carry suitable clothing.

Vehicle – 3 Days Private Ndutu Calving and Ngorongoro Crater Safari
