Safari Overview
This 4-day safari takes you straight to the heart of the Great Migration calving season in the Ndutu plains of Southern Serengeti and Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Every year between January and March, nearly 500,000 wildebeest calves are born within weeks, attracting predators like lions, cheetahs, and hyenas. You’ll witness dramatic wildlife action, stunning landscapes, and experience one of nature’s greatest spectacles in just a few days.
