Description

The wildebeest Calving Season Ndutu Area  is an annual event that occurs during the great migration in Tanzania. The great migration is a natural phenomenon where millions of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles travel across the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem in search of food and water. During the calving season, which takes place from December to March, hundreds of thousands of wildebeests give birth to their young in a synchronized manner.

This results in a spectacular display of new life, with hundreds of calves being born each day. The calving season is an important event for predators, such as lions and hyenas, who take advantage of the abundance of newborn prey. The calving season Ndutu Area is also a popular time for tourists to visit the Serengeti, as they can witness the incredible spectacle of the great migration and the birth of the wildebeest calves. Let us plan for your journey.
