Destinations Covered on 6 Days Ndutu Calving Season Safari in December 2026/2027

Tarangire National Park
Tarangire is the first wildlife destination on the route. During your game drive, look for large elephant groups, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffaloes, antelopes, and abundant birdlife. Its varied scenery creates a rewarding introduction to your six-day safari.

Central Serengeti
Central Serengeti adds classic savannah game viewing to the journey. You may encounter lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffaloes, and other wildlife while traveling through the central part of the Serengeti ecosystem.

Ndutu Area

December can provide green plains and increasing migration activity. Wildebeest and zebra herds may be seen alongside predators such as lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas. The most concentrated synchronized calving generally occurs later in January and February.

Ngorongoro Crater
Your final safari game drive takes place inside Ngorongoro Crater. This unique environment offers opportunities to see lions, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, and other wildlife across its varied habitats.
