Experience the wonders of nature on our 7 Days Migration Safaris – Calving Season. This special safari takes you to the southern Serengeti between January and March. During this time, thousands of wildebeest arrive to give birth, filling the plains with life.
Each day, you’ll witness a dramatic part of the Great Migration Safari. Calves are born by the thousands, and with them come the predators. Lions, hyenas, leopards, and cheetahs follow the herds, drawn by the easy prey. As a result, this season offers intense moments of predator-prey interaction.
Moreover, the scenery is lush and green after the rains. This makes the landscape even more stunning and perfect for photography. Our expert guides will take you on game drives each day, ensuring you’re always in the best position to see the action.
In addition to wildebeest, you’ll see zebras, gazelles, giraffes, and elephants. The area also hosts many bird species, making it great for birdwatchers. Every drive brings a new experience.
At night, relax in handpicked lodges or luxury tented camps. These accommodations are located near the calving areas, allowing you to stay close to the migration. They offer comfort, great meals, and warm hospitality. After a long day, there’s nothing like resting under the African stars.
