Your journey begins with an early departure from Arusha, driving through the scenic highlands and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area en route to the southern plains of the Serengeti National Park.

By afternoon, you arrive in the Ndutu region, the heart of the calving season. Between January and March, this area becomes a cradle of life, where hundreds of thousands of wildebeest gather to give birth.

Game drives upon arrival may reveal:

• Vast herds of wildebeest and zebras spread across endless plains

• Newborn calves taking their first steps

• Cheetahs scanning the horizon

• Lions following the migration herds

• Hyenas and jackals drawn to the abundance

The open short-grass plains provide exceptional visibility, making predator-prey interactions more frequent and dramatic.

Accommodation:Sero Tented Camp

Meals: Lunch & Dinner

Spend a full day exploring the Ndutu plains within the southern Serengeti ecosystem.

This is the peak calving zone where thousands of wildebeest calves are born daily during the season. The abundance of vulnerable young attracts predators, making this one of the most intense wildlife spectacles in Africa.

Wildlife encounters may include:

• Wildebeest giving birth

• Cheetahs hunting in open plains

• Lions with cubs

• Hyenas patrolling migration herds

• Large flocks of vultures circling overhead

Your guide will strategically track herd movements and predator activity to maximize sightings. The open landscape allows for extended observation and photography.

After a morning game drive in the southern plains, begin your journey north toward the central region of Serengeti National Park, specifically the Seronera Valley.

The drive itself is a game drive, offering continuous wildlife sightings across varied terrain from short-grass plains to rocky outcrops (kopjes).

Central Serengeti is known for:

• High density of resident predators

• Lions resting on kopjes

• Leopards in acacia trees

• Cheetahs in open savannah

• Large hippo pools in the Seronera River

Arrive in the afternoon and continue with a game drive before sunset.

Accommodation:Tukaone Serengeti Camp

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Spend a full day exploring the wildlife-rich Seronera region.

Unlike the seasonal migration in the south, central Serengeti supports year-round wildlife due to permanent water sources. This makes it one of the best areas for predator sightings.

Wildlife highlights may include:

• Large lion prides

• Leopards resting in sausage trees

• Cheetahs hunting gazelles

• Elephants moving across open plains

• Hippos in river pools

• Crocodiles along riverbanks

You may choose a full-day game drive with picnic lunch or split morning and afternoon drives for a relaxed pace.

After breakfast, depart Serengeti and drive toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, descending into the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater for a final game drive.

The crater hosts one of Africa’s highest concentrations of wildlife, offering excellent chances to spot:

• Lions

• Elephants

• Buffalo

• Hippos

• Flamingos

• The endangered black rhino

A picnic lunch is enjoyed inside the crater before ascending and continuing the drive back to Arusha, marking the end of your calving migration safari.
