6-Day Season for the Calving of Wildebeest in Ndutu Area Image

Package Overview

The calving season in the Serengeti is a truly spectacular time to witness nature’s drama unfold. Every day, over 4,000 wildebeest calves are born, taking their first tentative steps on the vast plains. These newborns attract a host of predators—lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas—creating thrilling wildlife encounters.

During this period, the chances of witnessing predator-prey interactions, and sometimes even a hunt, are high—an unforgettable experience for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers alike. This safari is best scheduled between December and March, when the calving season is at its peak.

    Here, vast herds of wildebeest graze across the open savannah, a breathtaking sight that defines this region. For those interested in cultural experiences, there’s also the option to visit a traditional Maasai Boma and learn more about the unique lifestyle of the Maasai people.

    With a depth of more than 2000 feet, it boasts a vast floor area of roughly 260 sq km. You will witness a great deal of animal activity during the five to six-hour game drive on the crater floor.

    It's advised to always have the camera ready. There are many African animals to be found, including lions, hyenas, cheetahs, buffalo, hippos, and black rhinos. You will start a steep ascent to the top exit of the crater after enjoying a picnic lunch at the lovely Hippo pool.
