Ndutu: Witness the Wildebeest Calving Season
To discover the Ndutu area is to explore the legendary calving grounds of the Great Migration, a vast landscape on the border of the Southern Serengeti and Ngorongoro Conservation Area that offers a dramatically different experience depending on the season. From December to March, these plains host the incredible spectacle of hundreds of thousands of wildebeest giving birth, attracting a huge concentration of predators for non-stop, dramatic action. However, in other seasons, such as now in the dry month of June, Ndutu reveals a more tranquil character. With the great herds having migrated north, the area offers a more intimate and exclusive safari with far fewer vehicles, becoming the perfect time to track the strong populations of resident wildlife—including its famous lion prides, cheetahs, and elephants—that congregate around remaining water sources. A visit to Ndutu is always rewarding, offering either the chaotic drama of the migration's nursery or the peaceful solitude of a classic East African wilderness.
