Experience the magic of the Serengeti’s calving season, where millions of wildebeest give birth to their young in the vast plains. This unique time of year, from January to March, offers incredible predator-prey interactions and the sight of newborn calves taking their first steps.
Choose from mid-range or luxury accommodations to complement your private safari experience.
Start your adventure with an early pick-up from your hotel in Arusha. After a short briefing, you will embark on a scenic drive to the Central Serengeti, passing through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area along the way.
Enjoy a picnic lunch en route before entering the Central Serengeti. Upon arrival, head out on a late afternoon game drive. This area is home to abundant wildlife, including lions, leopards, elephants, and giraffes. Watch the sunset over the iconic savannah before heading to your accommodation for a relaxing evening.
After breakfast, enjoy a morning game drive in Central Serengeti, where you will have the chance to spot more wildlife, including the famous Big Five.
Around midday, make your way to the Ndutu area in the southern Serengeti, where the calving season takes place. The Ndutu region is a wildlife-rich zone with short grass plains, perfect for large herds of wildebeest and zebras. Arrive in time for an afternoon game drive, where you’ll begin to witness the calving season in action—newborn calves, playful predators, and vibrant birdlife. Settle into your lodge or camp in the Ndutu area for the night.
Today is a full day dedicated to exploring the Ndutu region. After breakfast, head out for a full-day game drive to witness one of the most magical times of the migration cycle: the calving season. Thousands of baby wildebeest are born daily in the southern plains, with predators such as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas lurking nearby, making this one of the most thrilling safari experiences.
Enjoy a picnic lunch in the bush as you observe the incredible wildlife interactions. Your guide will take you to the best locations to maximize your chances of witnessing the drama of nature. As the day comes to an end, return to your lodge for a well-deserved dinner and relaxation.
After breakfast, enjoy a final morning game drive in the Ndutu area. You’ll have another chance to spot calving wildebeest, playful zebras, and watchful predators. Around midday, begin your journey to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, one of Tanzania's most celebrated safari destinations.
Upon arrival, check into your accommodation near the crater rim and spend the evening enjoying stunning views of the surrounding landscapes. Dinner will be served at your lodge, where you can relax and prepare for the exciting crater tour the following day.
Wake up early and enjoy breakfast before descending into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the world’s largest inactive volcanic caldera. The crater is home to an extraordinary array of wildlife, including elephants, rhinos, lions, buffalo, and hippos.
Spend the morning on a game drive through the crater floor, stopping for a picnic lunch at a scenic spot within the crater. In the afternoon, ascend the crater walls and begin your drive back to Arusha. Upon arrival, you’ll be dropped off at your hotel or the airport, marking the end of an unforgettable calving season safari.
