6-Day Exclusive Ndutu Migration Safari in Tanzania in December–March -Experience the magic of Tanzania’s Great Migration on this 6-day exclusive Ndutu Migration Safari, carefully designed around the calving season in the Ndutu region. From December to March, thousands of wildebeest and zebras spread across the lush Ndutu plains in southern Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This seasonal movement creates one of the most dramatic wildlife spectacles on earth, attracting large numbers of predators and offering unmatched photographic and wildlife-viewing opportunities.
This safari is ideal for travelers seeking authentic wildlife encounters, fewer crowds, and expert-guided game drives during one of the most rewarding times to visit Tanzania.
The Ndutu Region & the Calving Season Experience
The Ndutu region is a unique ecosystem located between the southern Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Unlike other parts of the Serengeti, Ndutu allows off-road driving in designated areas, making it perfect for tracking wildlife and following predator action during the migration season.
Between December and March, the short rains transform the plains into a green paradise. This is when the Great Migration arrives in Ndutu, and over 500,000 wildebeest calves are born within a short period. Calving season means constant activity—newborn calves taking their first steps, protective mothers, and predators such as lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas taking advantage of the abundance of prey.
For guests, this translates into high wildlife density, intense predator-prey interactions, and incredible game viewing throughout the day
