10 days calving season and community tourism
Experience one of Africa’s most extraordinary wildlife spectacles on this unforgettable 10-day Tanzania safari. Every year between January and March, the vast plains of Southern Serengeti and Ndutu become the stage for the Great Migration calving season, when hundreds of thousands of wildebeest give birth to their young. This abundance of new born calves attracts an incredible concentration of predators, creating some of the most dramatic wildlife encounters on the planet. Combined with authentic cultural experiences, the breath taking Ngorongoro Crater, and the elephant-rich landscapes of Tarangire National Park, this safari offers the perfect blend of wildlife, culture, and adventure.
