Ndutu Calving Season Safari

Ndutu, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania

About this experience

Early in the year, the Migration herds move to the short-grass plains around Ndutu and the southern Serengeti to give birth. Hundreds of thousands of calves are born over a few weeks, and predators follow closely.

Game drives here can go off-road in permitted areas of the conservation area, bringing you closer to the action than in many other parts of the ecosystem.

Highlights

  • Newborn wildebeest calves
  • High predator activity
  • Off-road driving where permitted

Good to know

When to go
