Embark on a breathtaking 7-day journey to experience the Serengeti during its calving season, one of the most magical and dynamic periods in the African wilderness. This trip offers a front-row seat to witness the awe-inspiring phenomenon of thousands of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles giving birth to their young on the nutrient-rich southern plains.

It’s a time of life, growth, and dramatic predator-prey interactions that captivate nature lovers and photographers alike. The Southern Serengeti and Ndutu Plains transform into a lush haven between late January and early March, attracting not only vast herds of herbivores but also an abundance of predators.

Lions, cheetahs, hyenas, and other carnivores take full advantage of the calving season, creating thrilling scenes that highlight the raw beauty of the African savannah. This safari blends adventure, relaxation, and unparalleled wildlife encounters, making it a truly unforgettable experience.
