7 Days Ndutu Wildebeest Migration and Calving Season:

Tanzania Southern Serengeti (Ndutu) Wildebeest Migration Safari & Calving seasons has been designed specifically to focus on following the Great Serengeti Wildebeest migration during calving from December to March. The areas to be covered are the Lake Ndutu area and the Southern and Central areas of Serengeti National Park where most wildebeest are usually found.

A visit to the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater is a part of this safari as well as Tarangire National Park.

The Southern Serengeti and Ndutu areas in Tanzania are the best locations for the months of January, February, and March to witness thousands of wildebeest spread across the plains grazing on the rich short grass plains. Predator action is at its peak with great sightings of cheetah, lion, hyena, and leopard and a good chance to see adrenalin-packed kills.

NB:

This Tour/Safari can be combined with some days to Zanzibar Island upon clients’ request.

Also apart from specific time bookings, it can be customized for booking that falls throughout the year.
