Every year, the Southern Serengeti and Ndutu region come alive with one of nature’s most magical phenomena—the Great Migration’s calving season. Over 8,000 wildebeest calves are born each day during this period, and with them comes a dramatic surge in predator activity. From the thunder of hooves to the silent stalk of a leopard, this is nature’s theater at its most raw and breathtaking.

This handcrafted 4-Day Ndutu Migration Safari is tailored for travelers who want to witness the wonder of new life, predator-prey encounters, and untamed beauty in the lush plains of Ndutu and the extraordinary Ngorongoro Crater.
