6-Day Season for the Calving of Wildebeest in Ndutu Area
The 6-Day Season for Wildebeest Calving in the Ndutu Area is one of Tanzania’s most amazing wildlife events, giving visitors a special chance to see one of nature’s biggest and most exciting sights. Every year from December to March, the rich grasslands of the Ndutu area in the southern part of the Serengeti become the place where the Great Wildebeest Migration starts, and over 500,000 baby wildebeests are born in just a few weeks. During the busiest time for calving, around 4,000 to 8,000 baby cows are born every day, offering amazing chances to watch the cycle of life happen right before your eyes. Newborn calves learn to stand and run just a few minutes after they are born.At the same time, predators like lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas are moving around the open plains looking for young animals that are easy to catch. For wildlife enthusiasts and photographers, this is one of Africa’s most exciting safari adventures.
At Continental Travel & Tours, we create this safari with care to give you the best chances to see wildlife, along with top comfort, expert guides, and amazing memories that you’ll cherish forever.

Timing is very important when planning the 6-day season for the calving of wildebeest in the Ndutu area. The safari is planned for travel between December and March, when the rain turns the Ndutu plains into green areas where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles come to graze. The biggest time for calves to be born happens between late January and February, when thousands of calves are born each day.
