7 Nights / 8 Days
Seasonal Set Departure Safari 鈥 January to March.
This safari is all about experiencing the calving season when the massive herds of wildebeest arrive at the southernmost point of their migration in February and March. It is breathtaking to see the herds on the vast open plains of the southern Serengeti and Ndutu plains, as over 8 000 calves are born daily.
The Calving Season Safari offers travel in custom 4脳4 safari vehicles with open tops for optimal game viewing. This is a small group seat-in-vehicle safari with a maximum of 6 travelers per vehicle, all with window seats. Traveling for 8 days, the safari includes meals, accommodation, park entry fees, and visits to Lake Manyara, Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area & Ngorongoro Crater. We recommend that you book the incredible Balloon safari add-on with this trip.
