About This Package

Witness the Wonder of Life: 6-Day Tarangire, Ngorongoro & Ndutu Calving Season Safari

Experience the magic of the Great Wildebeest Migration during its most heartwarming and action-packed phase—the Calving Season in Ndutu! Over a short span of a few weeks, hundreds of thousands of wildebeest calves are born on the fertile short-grass plains of Ndutu, triggering unprecedented predator activity as lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas gather for the hunt.

Combined with the giant baobabs and massive elephant herds of Tarangire National Park and the breathtaking Big Five haven of the Ngorongoro Crater, this 6-day luxury-focused wilderness expedition delivers non-stop wildlife spectacle, emotional moments, and dramatic nature photography.
