5-Day Ndutu Calving Season Safari: Southern Serengeti Migration 2026
The 5-Day Ndutu Calving Season Safari in the Southern Serengeti during the 2026 Great Migration is a wildlife adventure designed for unforgettable encounters with Africa’s most iconic animals. Centered in the fertile Ndutu plains, this safari coincides with the peak calving season, when thousands of wildebeest and zebras give birth, attracting a host of predators including lions, cheetahs, and hyenas. This creates thrilling predator-prey dynamics that are both educational and perfect for wildlife photography.
Over five days, you’ll explore the Southern Serengeti and Ndutu region on expertly guided 4×4 game drives with pop-up roofs, allowing unobstructed views of the plains, herds, and predators. Guides provide in-depth insights into the behavior of the migrating herds, predator interactions, and the ecology of this extraordinary ecosystem. In addition to the calving herds, you may encounter elephants, giraffes, buffalo, and abundant bird species, adding to the richness of the safari experience.
Each day balances immersive wildlife viewing with time to relax at your lodge or mobile camp, soaking in the dramatic sunrise and sunset landscapes of the Serengeti. From witnessing newborn wildebeest calves to observing intense predator action, this 5-day safari offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to experience the Great Migration in its most dynamic and memorable phase
