Why Choose This Five-Day Calving Safari?
Our five day Wildebeest Migration Calving Season safari combines visits to the Ndutu region of the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Tarangire, creating a varied route rather than focusing on one wildlife area.
A 5-Day Ndutu Calving Season Safari in March is a powerful way to follow the Great Migration’s calving period. Massive herds gather on nutrient-rich short-grass plains, while newborn calves create opportunities to observe natural predator-prey interactions involving lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas.
Availability can become limited around popular migration periods. Check your March 2027 or March 2028 dates now, request your preferred accommodation level, and contact us to start planning your private safari.
