Ndutu Calving Season Safari

Experience one of nature’s greatest spectacles during the Ndutu Calving Season Safari, a once-a-year event where over 8,000 newborn wildebeest arrive daily across the lush Southern Serengeti and Ndutu plains. This special season (late December to March) offers the highest concentration of predators and prey in the entire ecosystem, creating breathtaking wildlife encounters and unmatched photographic opportunities.

Your safari takes you to the heart of the Great Migration’s birthing grounds, where vast herds spread across the open plains, attracting lions, cheetahs, hyenas, and leopards. With the short grass providing clear visibility, this is the best time of year to witness hunts, dramatic predator interactions, and tender moments between mothers and calves.

Guided by expert local trackers, you’ll enjoy full-day game drives, golden-hour photography sessions, and peaceful evenings in comfortable camps surrounded by the wilderness. Whether you’re a wildlife enthusiast, photographer, or first-time safari traveler, the Ndutu Calving Season delivers raw, unforgettable nature at its finest.

Highlights include:

• Witness thousands of wildebeest births on the open Ndutu plains
• Incredible predator action, lions, cheetahs, hyenas & more
• Best season for big-cat photography and close-range wildlife viewing
• Scenic landscapes of the Southern Serengeti ecosystem
• Professional guides with deep knowledge of migration movements

Ideal for: Wildlife lovers, photographers, couples, families, and anyone seeking an authentic Great Migration experience.
