Safari Overview

Experience one of the most dramatic chapters of the Great Wildebeest Migration — the Calving Season.

Between January and March, over 500,000 wildebeest calves are born in the fertile plains of Ndutu (Southern Serengeti). This period attracts intense predator action, as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas follow the herds.

This 4-day midrange safari offers excellent wildlife viewing, comfortable accommodations, and expert-guided game drives in the heart of migration territory.
