Wildebeest Migration Calving Season, which occurs between January and March each year. During this time, thousands of wildebeest and zebras give birth on the lush Ndutu plains, attracting a wide array of predators, including lions, cheetahs, hyenas, and vultures.
The Ndutu area offers some of the best wildlife viewing in Africa, with vast open plains that make it easy to spot newborn calves, large herds, and dramatic predator-prey interactions. It is less crowded than northern Serengeti hotspots, providing a more private and immersive safari experience.
Apart from migration-focused wildlife, Ndutu is home to resident animals, including elephants, giraffes, wildebeest, zebras, buffalo, and a variety of bird species. The region’s scenic landscapes, with endless grassy plains, acacia trees, and seasonal lagoons, also provide stunning backdrops for photography and game drives.
Ndutu is ideal for travelers seeking intimate wildlife encounters, dramatic calving season action, and a true connection with the Serengeti ecosystem. Staying in well-located camps, such as Ang’ata Camp, ensures minimal travel time and maximum wildlife exposure.
