The Wildebeest Migration Calving Safari offers a unique chance to see the Great Serengeti wildebeest migration during the calving season. This event happens from December to April. During this time, thousands of wildebeest calves are born in the Lake Ndutu area and the southern and central parts of Serengeti National Park. Therefore, these areas become the best spots to witness this incredible wildlife spectacle.
Moreover, the migration calving season attracts many predators. Lions, hyenas, cheetahs, and leopards take advantage of the newborn calves. As a result, safari guests often witness thrilling predator-prey encounters. The short grass plains of Southern Serengeti and Ndutu provide rich grazing for the wildebeest and zebras. These lush plains support large herds during January, February, and March.
In addition, a typical 5-day wildebeest migration calving safari includes a visit to the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater. This ensures a diverse wildlife experience, combining the migration with other natural wonders. Thus, this safari package is perfect for wildlife lovers who want to see the migration and the calving season up close.
Overall, this safari showcases one of Africa’s most dramatic natural events. It captures the cycle of life, survival, and predator action in the Serengeti ecosystem. Consequently, it is a must-do for anyone passionate about African safaris and wildlife photography.
