5 Days Wildebeest Migration Calving Safari
The Great Wildebeest Calving Migration Safari is specially crafted to follow the awe-inspiring wildebeest migration in the Serengeti from December to April. This safari explores the Lake Ndutu area along with the Southern and Central Serengeti, where the majority of the wildebeest gather to give birth. A visit to the renowned Ngorongoro Crater is also included to enhance the safari experience. The Southern Serengeti and Ndutu are the prime spots from January to March, where thousands of wildebeest graze on lush short grass plains. This period is also thrilling for predator sightings—with cheetah, lion, hyena, and leopard action at its peak—offering incredible chances to witness dramatic hunts and kills amidst the breathtaking landscape. This unforgettable journey promises to immerse you in nature’s grand spectacle of life and survival in the wild.
