Why Choose 6 Days Ndutu Calving Season Safari in February 2027/2028?
A 6-day wildebeest calving safari covers Tarangire, Ndutu (Southern Serengeti), and the Ngorongoro Crater in February, combining varied landscapes with some of Tanzania’s most important wildlife areas.
6 Days Ndutu Calving Season Safari in February is one of the most remarkable wildlife experiences in Africa. February is associated with the peak calving period, when large numbers of wildebeest calves are born across the nutrient-rich short-grass plains. The abundance of vulnerable young animals can attract lions, cheetahs, leopards and hyenas, creating memorable predator-prey encounters.
This itinerary also gives you time beyond Ndutu, allowing Tarangire and Central Serengeti to add different wildlife habitats before Ngorongoro provides a spectacular final game drive.
