6-Day Season for the Calving of Wildebeest in Ndutu Area

A calving wildebeest migration safari during the season allows you to see the birth of over 4,000 calves every day. These newborns are preyed upon by lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas as they take their first steps. During the Serengeti calving season, there is a high likelihood of witnessing predator-prey interaction and even a kill, which is fantastic news for wildlife photographers but not so great for the wildebeest. This safari schedule is ideal for a visit between December and March.

This is your last chance to spend some time with the wildebeests, so enjoy an early morning game drive in the Ndutu Area. Following a delectable lunch, you will depart once more for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

You’ll have plenty of chances to see wildlife on your afternoon drive back through the magnificent Ngorongoro Highlands. You’ll see strong African elephants, elegant and tall giraffes, leaping gazelles and antelopes, and the most revered of all animal groups: the predators.

It is possible to observe slender cheetahs, timid leopards, hyenas going on their daily hunt, and of course, the majestic lions.

Day 5
Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

You’ll get an early start on your final day of safari. You will have a quick breakfast before beginning your early descent into the crater floor at around 6:30 am. The largest intact, unfilled, inactive volcanic caldera in the world is the Ngorongoro Crater.

With a depth of more than 2000 feet, it boasts a vast floor area of roughly 260 sq km. You will witness a great deal of animal activity during the five to six-hour game drive on the crater floor.

It’s advised to always have the camera ready. There are many African animals to be found, including lions, hyenas, cheetahs, buffalo, hippos, and black rhinos. You will start a steep ascent to the top exit of the crater after enjoying a picnic lunch at the lovely Hippo pool.

You’ll be driven to Arusha later on, where you can unwind at the hotel for the duration of the following day.
