The Calving Season

Witness the miracle of life on the Southern Serengeti plains. Over 8,000 wildebeest calves are born daily, attracting Africa’s highest concentration of predators.

The Experience

Why Choose Ndutu?

This is the only time you can see the mega-herds stationary. It is perfect for photographers wanting to capture predator action and newborn foals on the lush green plains.

Migration Specialist Tip

Book Early for the Ndutu Season

Migration camps are small, intimate, and often mobile to follow the herds. To secure a front-row seat to the action, we strongly recommend booking 9 to 12 months in advance.
