5 Days Ndutu Calving Season Safari
A focused calving-season safari: three nights in the Ndutu area of the southern Serengeti ecosystem, where the wildebeest herds usually gather on the short-grass plains after the rains.
With full days on the plains you have time to wait quietly with the herds and watch for predators. Calving and predator activity are natural events — we plan around the season but cannot guarantee them.
