6-Day Calving Season Safari and Materuni Waterfalls
A calving season safari is a safari in the Serengeti and Ndutu Plains during late December to early March, the period when hundreds of thousands of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles give birth. It is a time of intense wildlife activity, with vast herds and newborn calves on the plains, attracting a high concentration of predators like lions and cheetahs. This creates a dramatic and thrilling spectacle of both birth and survival.
