During the calving season from December to mid-March, the central Serengeti becomes a nursery for the Great Migration.

Your adventure starts with a flight from Arusha to this vibrant area, where thousands of wildebeest give birth almost simultaneously.

This period is crucial for the survival of the species, as nearly 8,000 calves are born daily. However, it’s also a time of danger, as predators like lions, cheetahs, and hyenas are on high alert, making it a thrilling time to visit.

The lush plains of the central Serengeti provide the perfect backdrop for these dramatic scenes. Your game drives will take you close to the action, where you’ll witness the tender moments between mothers and calves and the tense standoffs with predators. Birdlife is also abundant, with many species nesting and displaying vibrant plumage.

In the evenings, you’ll retreat to your lodge, reflecting on the day’s experiences. The following morning, enjoy another game drive to soak in the Serengeti’s wonders

Full day game drive in the Ndutu region in south Serengeti.

After our hearty breakfast, we head out to enjoy a full day game drive in the Ndutu region. We endeavor to explore the range of different habitats found here that include swamps, woodland, soda lakes, and the world-famous Serengeti short grass plains. And of course there is the awesome sight of the great thronging herds of wildebeest and zebra.

During a short time frame around January, normally lasting for about 3 weeks, the majority of the wildebeest calves about half a million in number are born in this awesome act of synchronized birthing.

The sea of grass provides little cover and the young Wildebeest calves can run minutes after they are born and within 3 days they are normally strong enough to keep up with the herd.

Fly back from central Serengeti to Arusha.

You'll wake up early for one last game drive in the Central Serengeti.

As the sun rises and bathes the plains in a soft, golden light, you'll have another chance to witness the Serengeti's diverse wildlife in action.

The morning hours are a prime time for observing predators on the hunt, and this final game drive offers a last opportunity to marvel at these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.

After the morning game drive, you'll be driven back to the Seronera airstrip for the flight back to Arusha (Moshi / Zanzibar / Dar Es Salaam can also be arranged). Flight times and durations to the different cities can vary, and based on that we can extend your game drives.
