6-Day Ndutu Calving Season Safari

A green-season safari to the southern Serengeti and Ndutu plains during calving, when wildebeest gather to give birth and predators are highly active.

Overview

From roughly late January to March the herds concentrate on the short-grass plains of Ndutu. It is one of the most dramatic wildlife windows of the year, with thousands of newborns and constant big-cat activity, and a quieter time to travel.
